Summary
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6players may soon be hearing a famous laugh in their matches, as it’s rumored that Canadian actor and comedian Seth Rogen may be getting his own skin in the game. The rumor, which stems from a teaser at the end of an ad for a pair of kindred skins, could add yet another unexpected crossover character toCall of Duty: Black Ops 6, continuing the franchise’s trend of adding pop culture skins.
While theCall of Dutyfranchise’s earlier releases may have been a history-focused simulator of World War II, the series has evolved over time into an over-the-top fest of explosions, bullets, and sci-fi-tinged equipment. As it’s drifted farther and farther away from its initial grounded, military feel in gameplay, so too has its cosmetics, which seem to be increasingly surreal in nature. This has recently led to arepetitive skin theme thatCall of Duty: Black Ops 6players aren’t happy with, whichCall of Dutyseems to be doubling down on.
Seth Rogen’s rumored addition toCall of Dutycomes by way of a video featuringCall of Duty: Black Ops 6’s Jay and Silent Bob skins, featuring the actual actors themselves, Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith. The clip starts off with Jay correcting Silent Bob to play the “420 way” instead of being a “try-hard.” Overlayed with a smoke effect, it shows the Jay and Silent Bob operators emoting, playing Prop Hunt, and more. The clip ends with a player called CanadianSmokeMonster joining their lobby, coupled with Seth Rogen’s unmistakable chuckle, causing the pair to suddenly look at each other.
Should the potential teaser materialize into Rogen becoming a playable character, he would join Jay, Silent Bob, and a whole host of other stoner or otherwise cannabis-related cosmetics. While a certain segment of theCall of Dutyfranchise’s player base seems keen on the particular theme, other players have voiced their complaints that these and other types of fantastical skins are robbing the series of its identity. The series' criticism hasn’t fallen on deaf ears, withActivision possibly reconsidering unrealistic operator skins.
Seth Rogen’s Possible Call of Duty Debut
Considering the context of the possible teaser, it’s certainly plausible that Seth Rogen could appear as Dale Denton, his character from the filmPineapple Express, though Rogen’s propensity for cannabis could have him appearing as himself. While Rogen is no stranger to video game IP, famouslyvoicing Donkey Kong in theSuper Mario Bros Movie, this could very well be the first time his actual likeness appears in a Triple-A game.
