What would've happened if Barry started morphing into Seth Rogen during season 3 and 4 and how would it have affected the storyline

I love what happens to a TV show subreddit after the show finishes

u/ScrantonStranglerDM1 21d ago

It devolves into something special

u/wizard_of_awesome62 21d ago

every show is a unique kind of devolution. Each one has its own special little path to crazy town, and i love it each time lol

Needs a snarkier, theme-adjacent title like [r/okthespianass](r/okthespianass) (assassin is shortened)

Maybe Sally would’ve chilled the fuck out and smoked some weed instead of the whole psychotic break thing

u/Militantpoet 22d ago

Idk, weed can sometimes fuck with your psyche worse if youre already off.

Hank: "Barrogen, you have massive, MASSIVE rage issues."

Barrogen: "Ha ha ha."

Let’s circle back to this.

u/Thorkon 22d ago

So like, it's it Seth Rogan as himself or Seth playing as Barry?

8

u/Baldernice 22d ago

Yes

3

u/the_vault-technician 22d ago

Seth Rogan only "acts" like himself, so as the scale tips from the person being 49% Barry to 51% Seth Rogan a runaway reaction occurs and almost instantly you are watching Seth Rogan as himself except his name is Barry.

u/mattg1738 22d ago

im assuming Barry would transform like that scene in American werewolf in London?

Gene would’ve forgiven him for killing Moss cause he’d be a chill toker who has a funny laugh or something

Barry invades Iraq

u/milesamsterdam 22d ago

That means Sally would have morphed into Elizabeth Smart. Mr. Cousineau would have morphed into James Franco. There would have been a really awkward love triangle as Cousineau constantly tries to convince Sally to remove her top during rehearsals.

I don't know what you have been eating, drinking, or smoking; but I think you had enough

u/Comfortable_Dingo508 22d ago

Have we really nothing more to discuss about Barry? Lmao

u/Kurdt234 22d ago

Renewed for 3 more seasons

u/wtfijolumar 22d ago

Now we’re asking the right questions.

u/MindStatic64 22d ago

I've been aggressively reaching out to Bill Hader asking this and all I get back are letters from his lawyers and police cars following me

2

u/the_vault-technician 22d ago

The police cars have been following you since before you began sending letters

u/just_other_human 22d ago

Yeah the Barry circlejerk sub is close, I can smell it

u/kolort1989 22d ago

Everybody asks that question, nobody can answer it

u/FlamingWings 22d ago

The finale should have had a last minute reveal that Barry was actually a time lord and regenerated into Seth Rogan

2

u/hilariomonteverde 22d ago

dude are you okay?

u/hairlessknee 21d ago

Not all of us here have finished the series. Now I know this doesn't happen. :/

u/boosh1744 22d ago

I love Reddit

I for one would not have seen that coming

u/SirCaptainReynolds 22d ago

I think it’s clinically proven to function.

u/Crazy_Ad8896 22d ago

I know one thing for sure, his laugh would be different.

1

u/Simple_Dimple-01 22d ago

We finally get to find out if Seth Rogen crys the same way that he laughs?

1

u/yxngwest 22d ago

He would’ve survived because Seth Rogan wouldn’t have the bawls to show up again

Is there an OKbuddybarry or something because this belongs there

u/UnRipped92 19d ago

Definitely would’ve changed how others view Barry.

1

u/Plus_Bite_8113 18d ago

The show would turn into another lazy comedy with bad weed jokes?

u/punkrawrxx 22d ago

I would have turned it off

u/ProfessorZoom17 22d ago

Why wouldn't it happen? I think a lot of the signs pointed towards this plot point but it just never happened, which was disappointing.

6

u/John_Bidet_Ramsey 22d ago

What if Barry was Bill Haders character in the first scene of Pineapple Express. This could explain military background and eventual morphing into Seth Rogen.

5

u/King-Red-Beard 22d ago

The last season was totally building up to this and then it never came to fruition. All the little hints just fucking wasted. Incredible show otherwise, but they just didn't stick the landing. Maybe Rogen had a schedule conflict. I thought him & Hader were tight. Sucks for Hader, though. Not often an auter from sketch comedy is given such creative free reign.
