Seth Rogen on Cancel Culture: Comedians Should Stop Complaining, Accept that 'Some Jokes Age Poorly'

Canadian-American comedian Seth Rogen said that his fellow comedians should stop complaining regarding cancel culture and own up if their jokes age poorly.

In his appearance on Good Morning Britain, Rogen stated that comedians should keep their complaints to themselves and accept negative comments openly.

According to Daily Wire, the 39-year-old Canadian native actor stated that there are certain jokes that aged well; and for him, it is the nature of comedy. He also shared that he thinks that comedy movies are sound, and there is a reason why they have lasted even today. Rogen added that as far as people still watch and enjoy, it will stay as jokes are built to last.

Also, Rogen stated that comedians should accept if their jokes aged terribly. But if they think that it did not, they should still perform it for the audience to enjoy and appreciate. He also mentioned that if they ever offended someone, comedians should own up to it, Mediaite reported.

Meanwhile, when asked regarding his jokes, Rogen stated that he is happy to admit that some of his own jokes may not have aged well. He also pointed out that most of them are in his movies and are still enjoyed by viewers.

On the other hand, Rogen also said that he never made a joke in his social media account that's outwardly horrific in some way. He is also questioning why some comedians are doing that. Rogen said that saying terrible things is bad. That is why saying something terrible means confrontation in some way, shape, or form. For him, it is not canceling culture. Instead, it is just the comedian saying something terrible, if that is what they have done.

Other Celebrities' Take on Cancel Culture

Seth Rogen's reaction to cancel culture is very different from that of comedian Chris Rock. Rock previously said that cancel culture has made people afraid to talk.

Rock stated on 'The Breakfast Club' that it is weird to be a comedian. As a comedian, if the audience does not laugh, they get the message. He also added that there is no need to cancel comedians because they get the message.

Rock mentioned that when people are not laughing, their feelings as comedians hurt, but they get it. He also added that he does not understand why people feel the need to go beyond that because for him, it is disrespectful.

Last month, Star Trek star LeVar Burton stated on 'The View' that cancel culture does not really exist. He believes that the new cultural shifts are cultural consequences. For him, cancel is being misnamed. He thinks that what we have now is a consequence culture and that consequences are finally encompassing everybody in society.

The 64-year-old actor also added that it is one of the good signs happening right now, adding that it brings new awareness to people who were unaware of the real nature of life for those who have been othered ever since.
