For a film filled with so many comedic superstars -- Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Jason Bateman, Jeffery Tambor, Bill Hader and more -- it was a rather subdued panel, possibly because it came hot on the heels of a stabbing and some police activity. But fortunately Seth Rogen was there to lighten the mood.
Rogen voices the titular alien that Pegg and Frost find on their cross-country trip after hitting Comic-Con 2010 (ooh, meta!). Paul the alien is crass and foul-mouthed, just like the real Seth Rogen! To wit:
On wearing a motion-capture suit: "I was very excited to take this very expensive, cutting-edge technology and masturbate with it."
On getting recognized on the floor at Comic-Con: "Ever since I lost some weight, people have been mistaking me for J.J. Abrams. People like me okay but they f*cking LOVE him."
On his most cherished Comic-Con memory: "A few years ago here, I smoked a joint with [Captain America comic book writer] Ed Brubaker and Method Man. At the same time!"
