Seth Rogen‘s new movie, Observe and Report, is already generating tons of buzz.   He dishes on the movie and pushing the envelope of comedy in an interview with Parade.

On why there’s naked men, but no naked women, in the flick:

The reason we don’t have bare breasts in our movie is that they don’t get laughs. Now it’s all about penises. Breasts are out and the male organ is in. And when you saw my naked butt in Knocked Up, I knew that would get a laugh because it sometimes gets me laughs in real life.

On the secret to his recent weight loss:

It’s a tapeworm. You don’t believe that? How about bulimia? What you see is not muscle. I can kind of shape my fat to look like muscle. That’s one of my real acting skills.

On whether he thinks he pushes his humor too far:

I think if it gets a laugh, then no. Nowhere on my radar is the thought, ‘Is this movie good for society?’ To me, if it’s funny, it’s good for society. If it’s not funny, it’s bad for society. I think it was funny. It’s a movie. It’s supposed to entertain people. We keep on pushing and we haven’t hit that limit so it’s working so far. I think major studios are acknowledging that people like this stuff. Just because it’s not necessarily safe or easy to categorize, doesn’t mean people won’t go see it. What always shocks me when we do these test screenings is that, generally, women like it more than men, which is never what I would imagine.
