Seth Rogen says Sony wouldn’t let Jonah Hill use a PlayStation in Superbad as his character was too “reprehensible”: “They’re like, ‘We can’t have him interact with our products'”

Seth Rogen has revealed that Jonah Hill’s Superbad character wasn’t allowed to use a PlayStation in the movie, as Sony thought he was too “reprehensible” to use one of their products.

“On Superbad, we were told when Sony made the movie [that] Jonah Hill’s character Seth was so reprehensible to the studio that they were like… there’s a scene where they’re playing video games, and they’re like, ‘Jonah can’t touch a PlayStation,” Rogen said on the red carpet at SXSW, when Rotten Tomatoes asked what the funniest note he’d ever gotten was.
