Green Hornet episode

I'm rewatching the series for the first time since it was on. We just got to the Green Hornet episode, and Seth Rogen comes off as a fun guy, and the "movie myths" are kind of fun, although obviously "comic book cool" instead of even a bit realistic.
But I remember that when I first saw this episode, I hadn't seen the movie...so we rented it the next week.
OMG! YUCK. Terrible. One of the worst movies I'd seen in years. It gave us a new rule: "No more Seth Rogen movies."

I just want somewhere to bitch about this. When they put two busters in the back seat and taped them onto the seats I thought “why didn’t they make a custom ‘bomb proof’ box UNDER the seat to replicate the movie setup? Of course the backseat passengers will be blown up if they don’t get inside the nuked fridge, so to speak. But at least it would be accurate if you USED the fridge like the movie did, you know?

The Original Green Hornet "Skit" absolutely sucked!! Now add the Young, Nieve, "Arrogant", Still trying to find himself "Seth Rogan" Into the mix at the time.. You or me had a better chance to make the difference in the film industry at this point.. The only difference is he was just Obnoxious and rich enough to curb the odds in his favor.. Enough about this random shit bag.. But damn!! Grant passee away!! That is the real tragedy!! Why couldn't it have been Seth Rogan man!!

Pineapple Express tho
Burning_Wreck@reddit (OP)
Yep, but consider... Pineapple Express - 2008 Green Hornet movie - 2011
Since then...mostly voice work.

FWIW, it was based on a one season TV show that wasn't very good either. Kinda have to figgure.
(I know that the character long predated the TV show, but the TV show is the basis for the movie. )

Not to disparage the guy in general, but in that episode, Seth comes off as somewhat egotistical and annoying, especially with the Build Team.
