It looks like we have a Canadian civil war on our hands.
Justin Bieber, the tatted, perma-teen plague, has offered himself up to a gaggle of comedians with his upcoming Comedy Central Roast, hosted by Kevin Hart. Now, he’s vying for the attention of one special funnyman to partake in the burning: Seth Rogen.
The aspiring model, who turned 21 recently, tweeted the following to his 61 million Beliebers, even making a Sony hack joke at the actor/filmmaker’s expense:
@Sethrogen all I want for my birthday is for you to roast me. I took the twitter bashing please make my bday and do it in person. Thanks
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) February 27, 2015@Sethrogen I would have emailed u but this is the only electronic communication with u that doesn't scare me. Hope to see u at the roast :)
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) February 27, 2015After radio silence from Rogen, Bieber—as is his wont—took it upon himself to troll his fellow Canadian on Twitter. He also apparently tracked down Rogen’s phone number and has inspired the now trending #WeWantSeth with all his highly impressionable Beliebers out there in the world.
@Sethrogen come on man. Check your voicemail. I took it like a man as u blasted a nervous kid fan of yours (me). Now I'm a man. Roast me!
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) March 2, 2015@Sethrogen I'm still your biggest fan. Even after "the interview." That's dedication. Roast me! Sincerely yours..the piece of shit..justin;)
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) March 2, 2015— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) March 2, 2015Rogen hasn’t publicly responded to the Bieber invitation thus far, and their relationship seems to be a bit strained, to say the least. First, there was this doozy of a tweet he unleashed when news broke of Bieber’s DUI arrest:
All jokes aside, Justin Bieber is a piece of shit.
— Seth Rogen (@Sethrogen) January 23, 2014Then, The Interview star explained his dislike of Bieber during a candid 2014 interview with Howard Stern.
“He's a good example of someone you meet, who you think you're going to hate, and then you get to hate him as much as you thought,” Rogen said. “You meet him, and he lives up to every one of your expectations of how you hope he will be.”
The pop prince responded with the following jab—misspelling Rogen’s name in the process.
Seth Rogan sorry I didnt bow down when I asked 2 meet u was probably a bit shy and didn't want to be over the top but still. love ur movies.
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) May 8, 2014Bieber has been a pretty good sport when it comes to jokes being tossed his way. After Kate McKinnon’s hilarious spoof of Bieber’s Calvin Klein ad on Saturday Night Live, the pop prince tweeted a succinct “well played. Lol” in reply to SNL’s tweet that included a pic of McKinnon giving her best butch Bieber pose. He was also spanked by host Zach Galifianakis on a memorable episode of Between Two Ferns.
We’re still waiting to see if Rogen will submit to the Bieber’s demands. Maybe if he serenades Rogen with a song he’ll say yes?
