Seth Rogen Doesn't Want To Procreate—Here's Why That's A Good Thing

Seth Rogen, best known for his roles in crude movies about juvenile men who never grow up, is back in the spotlight again after a statement he made about his and his wife's choice not to have children.

"We're f**king psyched all the time! We're laying in bed on Saturday mornings smoking weed, watching movies naked. If we had kids, we could not be doing this," Rogen told Howard Stern, prompting fresh, widespread criticism of his loser-ish persona.

With Rogen temporarily back in the limelight, here are the top 3 reasons why we're convinced he is the ultimate effeminate loser, ranging from his questionable career moves to his short-sighted approach to success and happiness.

His "Acting" is Extremely Limited

By now, it should be apparent to all that Seth Rogen doesn't actually act. He literally hasn't acted in a film in years (he's now almost exclusively a "producer" of underwhelming television shows), but when he was still acting in movies like Superbad and Pineapple Express, he was just being himself. One commenter put it like this: "Oh, he's a laid-back store employee that just smokes pot and has sex in a 40-year-old virgin. Wow, what a crazy guy. Oh, he's a wild pot smoker who knocked a girl up in knocked up. Wow, how humorous. Oh, he's a stoner on a stoner adventure with fellow humor manTM James Franco. Wow, how insane. Oh, it's a movie about sausage parties where Seth Rogen plays a phallic hotdog. How humorous. I promise you that you've never actually seen Seth Rogen say something funny. You've only seen slightly amusing contrived scenarios involving a stoned Seth Rogen."

Also, we mustn't forget about the Super Bowl commercial he did with the equally unfunny Amy Schumer.

His Politics Are Out of Touch

Another reason Rogen exudes such strong loser vibes is because of his militant dedication to propping up Democrat politicians and his "limousine liberal" views, which are a hilariously performative attempt to sound progressive and compassionate when in reality he doesn't actually care about the lives of other people, as seen in the way he publicly shamed Casey Neistat on Twitter because Casey was upset that his car was broken into in Los Angeles.

Rogen is also known for an unhinged, expletive-filled rant against Ted Cruz.

"By rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement, President Biden indicates he’s more interested in the views of the citizens of Paris than in the jobs of the citizens of Pittsburgh. This agreement will do little to affect the climate and will harm the livelihoods of Americans," Cruz tweeted from his political account, to which Rogen replied, "Haha get f**ked fascist. Go encourage a white supremacist insurrection again you f**ing clown."

Cruz responded by calling him a "rich, angry Hollywood celebrity," accurately implying that people like Rogen are typically supportive of Democrats, which enraged Rogen even further.

"If you’re a white supremacist fascist who doesn’t find it offensive when someone calls your wife ugly, Ted Cruz is the exact motherf**ker for you," he tweeted, before spending several months acting as if he was somehow victimized by the interaction.

He Promotes a Selfish and Depressing Lifestyle

Worst of all, Rogen pushes a hollow, selfish lifestyle under the guise of "freedom." His comments to Howard Stern weren't the first time he has emphatically insisted that rejecting fatherhood has made him happy. It turns out that being childless is an extremely important part of his personality, along with being out of shape and smoking pot.

When interviewed on the Diary of a CEO Podcast in 2023, Rogen stated "Honestly, the older we get the more happy and reaffirmed we are with our choice to not have kids. It was something we kind of talked about more, and we were like, ‘Have we made the right choice? Are we sure?’ Now, more than anything, the conversation is like, ‘Honestly, thank god we don’t have children. We get to do whatever we want.”

In that same interview, he went as far as to claim that having children actually would've hindered his success.

"I do not [have kids]. That has helped me succeed as well, definitely. There’s a whole huge thing I’m not doing, which is raising children." He also added that he and his wife are infinitely more impressive than they could've been if they'd had any pesky children.

"We are smarter than we've ever been. We understand ourselves more than we ever have. We have the capacity to achieve a level of work and a level of communication and care for one another, and a lifestyle we can live with one another that we've never been able to live before, and we can just do that and we don't have to raise a child — which the world does not need right now."

It's hard to know what metric of success Rogen is using given that actors like Ryan Reynolds, Denzel Washington, and Adam Sandler all have successful marriages and multiple children while also being vastly more popular and well-paid than he is, but maybe he gets to smoke more pot than they do? And that's definitely better than a loving family.

Closing Thoughts

Seth Rogen's persona, characterized by a lack of responsibility and sacrifice, coupled with a career that lacks versatility and depth, paints a picture of a weak, delusional man chasing a state of perpetual boyhood. He offers a stark contrast to millions of wiser, braver men who are strong enough to take on the challenge of achieving career success while loving their families at the same time.
