Remember the Seth Rogen Vs. “Entourage” beef and war of words? Did Rogen get the last laugh on last night’s episode of “The Simpsons,” the ep he wrote with partner Evan Goldberg?
Spoiler from Cinematical:
The joke came right at the end of the episode when Homer is yelling at his Hollywood trainer (voiced by Rogen) for ditching him, thus nudging Homer off his diet and back on the chubby wagon — a move that ultimately ruined the superhero movie he was starring in. So when Homer demands to know who his trainer left him for, Rogen’s character admits it was Turtle from Entourage. He then apologizes to Homer and offers him to train with Turtle too so they can both lose the weight. Turtle, for those who remember the episode, was the one who helped instigate the “Why would anyone sleep with Seth Rogen?” argument that caused quite the stir back in July.
Considering the weight issues and everything, did Rogen really just use the episode as one long-planned, fuck-you revenge plan on the “Entourage” guys? Maybe not, that war of words is only really three months old (but we swear they used to write Simpsons episodes like almost a year in advance in time for animators to do their thing). We’d say victory goes to Rogen here, but really, does anyone still watch “The Simpsons”? [ed. I gave up on that show a decade ago]
