Sex / Celeb / Film Why I Love Seth Rogen

Posted by David Schmader on Fri, Sep 30, 2011 at 9:04 AM

First, he's so freaking good in 50/50, the new film that opens today and which I rave about here.

Second, he has an extremely good sense of humor about being a Bear Sex Symbol, as seen in this almost-NSFW clip from Wednesday night's Conan.

Finally and cumulatively, he's a dreamboat. Am I the only one who, given the chance to slow-dance with one of the leads of Pineapple Express, would pick Seth Rogen over James Franco every day of the week?

He is very sexy, and no, you are not the only one who would enjoy a slow dance with him.

Ah, well. If he's not family, at least he is family friendly. These days, I'll take what I can get.

Gay porn on Conan. That's a huge media milestone!

Indie, artsy gay porn, no less!

Though I do tend to enjoy the fantasy company of the movie star whose persona is more "everyman" than "film idol", still, I'd have to pick James for that slow dance simply on the off chance it might somehow, someday lead to me getting next to Dave Franco. Dave, Dave, Dave.

Since we're in fantasy land, that's my view.

It's his slightly croaky voice that does it for me. He sounds like he's always on the verge of bursting into laughter. I want to poke him and make him giggle.

@4 - That is a conversation I'd love to have in a world where James Franco is not enough for me.

"I'm sorry, James Franco, but I'm leaving you. It's your brother, Dave Franco. He and I are running away together."

i want to poke him and giggle.

That's awesome!

Could I dance with the Pineapple instead? (I have not seen Pineapple Express)

Posted by jzimbert on September 30, 2011 at 9:39 AM

Oh my lord. He's so dreamy. I love his voice and his laugh.

I went to see Observe and Report just for him, even though it is a terrible, terrible movie.

I'll go hide in my shame now.

his appeal is much like paul rudd, where he could just very well be your funniest dude friend, and who doesnt want to boink their funniest dude friend?

Can we talk about what's important? Not to get all US-Weekly-Parodic-Mcginn on this, but he is totally dieting his way out of being a bear sex symbol.

Sorry. I think Seth Rogen is great, and I love his sense of humor, and he has a great voice, and he seems like a great guy and I'd love him as a friend.

But slow dance? Rogen or James Franco? It would have to be James Franco. Despite his terrible stint as Oscar host last spring, I've had a major crush on him for years. Seth Rogen is best buddy material. James Franco is HOT.

Loved the last line: "someone's got their Christmas card!" - wow.

Posted by Jaymz on September 30, 2011 at 10:07 AM

I'm a sucker for a dreamy voice, but I think I'd still have to go with Franco.

Posted by keshmeshi on September 30, 2011 at 10:12 AM

MacCrocodile @6, with my luck, even in my fantasy Dave Franco would probably just tell me to go fuck myself, which I wouldn't enjoy half as much as he did. (NSFW).

Your poll is a bit misleading. By picking "No" one is saying YES to wanting Seth Rogan, and vice versa.

Posted by UNPAID COMMENTER on September 30, 2011 at 10:30 AM

Seth is cool and cute and I'm glad he's comfy with homo adoration. But I really want Chris Pratt's approval of my man lust. mmmmmmmm! Thank you Conan for putting the spotlight on another hunky dreamboat:

@14 Andy regularly comes up with the best lines. I love him! Seth too!

@19 - a second banana with actual talent that easily could be the number one fruit (not intended as a pun or whatever, just slipped out that way...)

Did no one see Green Hornet? He's a BEAR SUPERHERO. Franco is a dork who creates mutant monkeys. BEAR SUPERHEROES BEAT MUTANT MONKEYS.

He is one of the hottest men in Hollywood.

Posted by very bad homo on September 30, 2011 at 11:32 AM

Franco in Pineapple Express = my dream man.

Posted by Dan Savage on September 30, 2011 at 11:50 AM

...and twice on Sunday.

Posted by Re. on September 30, 2011 at 11:55 AM

why must it always be one or the other? why can't it be both at once, for that is the way i would choose to slow dance with the leads of pineapple express.
