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:
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]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.

Production on this episode started over a year ago (the table read took place in August 2008), so I doubt it, unless that last scene was a late re-write.
at least as relevant a question is whether anyone ever watched "Entourage"...
It would be weird to me if Rogen did this as a "revenge" scheme. He just seems like a guy who can take a joke, even at his own expense.
I still catch episodes of The Simpsons here and there, whenever I can. Honestly, I think the show is still funny, and has made a point to venture into further humor territory beyond the repetitive "...why you little!" jokes.
Anonymous, a lot of people watch Entourage. That's why its been on for like six seasons.
I also agree, production on this episode started over a year ago.. it's an awesome series. I have been watching this series for a long time... If you guys have not watched it then must watch The Simpsons online...
