#2 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* • “Rogen’s candid collection of sidesplitting essays . . . thrives at both explaining and encapsulating a generational comedic voice.”—The Washington Post

A collection of funny personal essays from one of the writers of Superbad and Pineapple Express and one of the producers of The Disaster Artist, Neighbors, and The Boys. (All of these words have been added to help this book show up in people’s searches using the wonders of algorithmic technology. Thanks for bearing with us!)

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR • New York Post • Marie Claire • Self • BookRiot

Hi! I’m Seth! I was asked to describe my book, Yearbook, for the inside flap (which is a gross phrase) and for websites and shit like that, so… here it goes!!!

Yearbook is a collection of true stories that I desperately hope are just funny at worst, and life-changingly amazing at best. (I understand that it’s likely the former, which is a fancy “book” way of saying “the first one.”)

I talk about my grandparents, doing stand-up comedy as a teenager, bar mitzvahs, and Jewish summer camp, and tell way more stories about doing drugs than my mother would like. I also talk about some of my adventures in Los Angeles, and surely say things about other famous people that will create a wildly awkward conversation for me at a party one day.

I hope you enjoy the book should you buy it, and if you don’t enjoy it, I’m sorry. If you ever see me on the street and explain the situation, I’ll do my best to make it up to you.

*I was beaten by Bill O’Reilly, which really sucks.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“It’s a real treat when a memoir by a comedian is actually as funny and vital as the work that got them into memoir-writing territory, but Yearbook is just that delightful. . . . Amusing and insightful.”—Vulture

“In need of oddball anecdotes and lots of F bombs? Seth Rogen has you covered. . . . Yearbook features a hilarious collection of real-life stories and personal essays that delve into his adolescence and career.”—USA Today

“The actor and writer will have you keeled over in laughter with his memoir, made up of a collection of essays that will make you think about the world differently. . . . Fasten your seatbelts for this page-turner, folks.”—Men’s Journal

“Everyone’s favorite stoner recalls his childhood, youth, and first stirrings of Hollywood success. . . . Fans of Rogen will enjoy his laid-back, whimsical memoir.”—Kirkus Reviews

“At first I was worried that Seth was writing a book, because I was like, ‘Oh no! What’s he gonna say?’ I was actually scared to even read it. But I’m very happy I did. It’s not really a memoir, like I thought it might be. I guess it’s more of a bunch of funny true stories? Does that make sense? He talks about doing stand-up when he was a kid (I drove him to all his shows!), his grandparents, high school, moving to LA, meeting some famous people, things like that. If I’m being honest, I really wish there wasn’t so much drug talk. Why does he need all that! It’s like, ‘We get it!’ And some of the stories? I mean, they’re entertaining, but I was just shocked they happened and he never told me! Overall, I think it’s more sweet and funny than anything, so I like it, and I’m glad he wrote it, but I’d be even more glad if he called me more.” —Sandy Rogen, Seth’s mother

Chapter 1

Bubby and Zaidy

I wanted to try stand-up comedy. I imagine if most twelve-year-olds told their parents something like that, they’d be met with a healthy dose of skepticism. F***, if a thirty-year-old told me they wanted to try stand-up comedy, I’d probably do my best to talk them out of it.

Which makes it even more incredible is that not only did my parents not scoff at the notion of it, they looked in the local paper and found a stand-up comedy workshop to enroll me in.

I loved comedy growing up, I think, because my parents loved comedy. They would watch SCTV; Billy Crystal’s stand-up; Ghostbusters; Ferris Bueller’s Day Off; Planes, Trains and Automobiles; Uncle Buck; Home Alone; Coming to America; Big; Who Framed Roger Rabbit; Back to the Future; The Breakfast Club; When Harry Met Sally; What About Bob?; and they would just laugh their f***ing asses off, and I would laugh my f***ing ass off, and if people were doing this for a living, then I was gonna try to be one of those people.

The workshop was simple enough: You’d spend a day learning the basic concept of stand-up joke writing, write a few jokes, and then, that night, you’d go to the Lotus Club, a local lesbian bar with what in retrospect was a very vaginal flower painted on its awning, and perform your jokes for the lesbians. My mother dropped me off outside; I walked into the class and, not surprisingly, was the only kid—the first of about a thousand rooms that I would walk into over the next decade where that was the case. I’ve been the youngest person in the room a lot of my life. There’s something nice about having aged into my job. But still, I miss those days, because when you’re young, the bar for accomplishment is so low, no matter what you do, it’s pretty impressive. If you’re young enough, just walking is considered a huge deal. My friends are thrilled when their kids don’t shit all over their floors. As an adult, I get little to no praise for doing the same.

The teacher, a working stand-up comic named Mark Pooley, who looked exactly like Garth from Wayne’s World, took the stage.

Mark: Nobody wants to hear about what you like. There’s nothing less funny than hearing about the stuff you have fun doing. Fun isn’t funny. Comedy is pain. It’s struggle. So, when thinking of what to write about, don’t ask yourself, “What’s funny to me?” Ask yourself, “What bothers me? What frustrates me? What do I wish I could change? What can I just not f***ing stand?!”

One answer popped into my head. At that point in my life, there was really only one answer: my grandparents.

I didn’t get along great with them back then. Their real names were Faye and Kelly, but I knew them as Bubby and Zaidy. Their last name was Belogus, which is by all means a hilarious last name. I remember being thirteen, hanging out at a friend’s house, and telling him that my mother’s maiden name was Belogus. His nine-year-old brother cackled loudly from the other room. “Sounds like ‘Blow Us’!”

It sure does, I thought. It sure does.

When I was younger, Bubby and Zaidy just didn’t seem that into me. I got the impression they liked my older sister, Danya, more than me, mostly because their words and actions made it wildly clear that they did. They were just nicer to her, which didn’t really bug me that much, because I didn’t love spending time with them.

They were simultaneously tough and eccentric. My grandmother was born while her family was in a caravan fleeing Poland as World War I was breaking out. She got to pick her own birthday when she was a little girl because her parents didn’t know her real one, which is some real Depression-era shit. How rough was Poland for Jews at that time? So rough that when they arrived in Winnipeg, a city in Manitoba that has swarms of mosquitos throughout the summer and debilitating ice storms throughout the winter, they thought, This place is f***ing great! Let’s stay here. My grandfather was born in Winnipeg. One of three brothers (the others named Curly and Pinky), he played professional football in the CFL and lied about his age to go to war. When I was about six, we were on a family vacation in Palm Springs and I cracked my toenail when I stubbed it in the pool. My grandfather said he would fix it, and then ripped off the entire nail. We had to go to the hospital.

I didn’t really start spending a lot of time alone with my grandparents until I was ten and my sister was thirteen and getting ready for her Bat Mitzvah. She had to attend services every Friday, and I did not want to do that, so my parents would drop me off at my grandparents’ apartment to hang out for a few hours while they went to synagogue with my sister so she could pretend to pray.

Every Friday night would play out the same. I would plant myself on Zaidy’s La-Z-Boy and turn on “TGIF,” ABC’s Friday-night programming, which consisted of Family Matters, Step by Step, and Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper, which are all shows that are, by any definition, f***ing dope as f***.

My grandparents would make me a turkey sandwich on challah bread and pour me a glass of chocolate milk, and then sit with me as they tried their hardest to follow what the f*** was happening on these shows.

Zaidy: Who’s that guy?

Me: He’s the dad.

Bubby: Who’s the dweeby one?

Me: That’s Steve Urkel.

Zaidy: And what’s that? A robot (pronounced “roe-bit”)?

Me: Yes, Steve Urkel built it.

Bubby: What’s the roe-bit doing now?!

Me: It’s pretending to be Steve to trick the girl he likes into hooking up with him.

(This show has not aged well.)

Zaidy: Steve Snorkel?

Me: URKEL!

Zaidy: And what’s the show called?

Me: Family Matters.

Zaidy: Family Bladders?

My grandfather worked in the engine room of a battleship in the Royal Navy during World War II, and as a result, was more or less deaf. He loved being in the Navy. He talked about it like most guys talked about their fraternity years. They would hang out, smoke cigars, talk shit, all while floating in thousands of tons of metal around the war-torn Horn of Africa. He arrived at Normandy on D-Day Plus One, but his favorite story was about figuring out that if you broke your rationed rum bottle after drinking it, you could say you broke it before and get a double ration. Anyway, he was deaf.

Zaidy: Family Crappers?

Bubby: He’s saying Family Campers!

Me: No! I’m saying Family MATTERS!

Bubby: Stop yelling!

Zaidy: Who’s yelling?

Me: YOU’RE YELLING!

This would play out for about two hours straight, and as maddening as spending time with them was, I couldn’t help but think they were entertaining.

Because they grew up in the Depression, they would steal EVERYTHING. Every time we went to McDonald’s, they would empty the napkin dispenser and put them in a giant box that my grandfather kept in his van. If we were out at dinner and you heard my Bubby say, “Oh, this is a nice plate,” you knew the next time you ate at their place, you’d be eating off that plate, because she straight jacked that shit. Knives, forks, you name it, they swiped it.

Another thing I noticed was that my grandmother kind of had a wispy white Afro that, when the light hit it, became see-through, leaving you with a VERY good idea of what my grandmother would look like if she was completely bald. And . . . it was horrifying.

I wrote three jokes about Bubby and Zaidy that followed the basic structure we were taught: Say the premise or the thing you don’t like; say why you don’t like that thing by making a humorous observation; then do an “act out,” an impression of the target of the joke, bringing it all together.

My grandparents were hard to impersonate, so I thought I’d just go with a generic “old Jewish person” voice. It was a safe but ultimately good call.

The night came, and my turn to take the stage was fast approaching. I honestly don’t remember being that nervous, probably because I was twelve f***ing years old and wasn’t even mature enough to be nervous. I’ve definitely gotten more in my head as I’ve gotten older and marvel at how I used to just barrel into these situations without much fear or anxiety. Kids can do that. It’s like those very young Chinese acrobats you see, flinging their little bodies in the air, being thrown around, completely unaware of the stakes. If those kids knew what a torn ACL was, they wouldn’t be letting those motherf***ers toss their little asses around like that. And if I had known the pain and shame that goes along with putting yourself out there creatively and being rejected, I probably wouldn’t have been so excited. But I didn’t, so I was.

I took the stage. The lesbians’ eyes locked on me.

“So . . . people ask me what the hardest part about being Jewish is. The persecution? The repeated attempts at systematic annihilation? Nope. The hardest part about being Jewish is . . . the grandparents.”

They laughed. And thank f***ing god they did, because if they didn’t, I’d be one very frustrated video-game-store employee right now. I continued.

It's not laugh out loud funny but it's still funny in its own way. It's not in chronological order but more of a set of essays about his life and unique encounters with other celebrities. I was hoping he'd dive deeper into what it was like to work on most of the projects he's worked on like Pineapple Express, Knocked Up, this is the end, and whatever projects he's been into in recent years. It was a somewhat fun and easy read so maybe like a 3.5 out of 5 stars.

I am a fan of Seth Rogen and a native Vancouvernite too so I bought this book to show my support. But it’s such a good read, I thoroughly enjoyed reading Rogen’s very candid and often hilarious take of his own childhood and teenage years in Vancouver, and then his a humorous look at his adult years in LA through an insider’s view of Hollywood as a writer and actor. I laughed out loud so many times! But there were also some touching moments here and there about his life which makes you appreciate his sense of humor and Rogen’s down to earth character as well despite being a big name in Hollywood these days.

An autobiography told through comedic stories and funny dialogue

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book by Seth Rogen is somewhat of an autobiography, told through a series of humorous stories about his life. You can tell by the style of writing that Rogen started out as a stand-up comedian, and in fact the first chapter of the book is about his starting stand-up at age 12. Each chapter has some funny dialogue that Rogen recalls from a period in his life, and he is great at telling these often self-deprecating stories in a way that makes them amusing and fun to read. You end up learning a decent amount about Rogen's life and upbringing, while still being entertained by his crazy experiences and comedic writing style.

Rogen's style of comedy might not be for everyone, but if you have watched any of his movies, then you should have some idea of what to expect. The chapters are almost like little movie scenes because of all the dialogue, and you can almost picture him acting out the scenes he describes. This really makes the book overall feel like a script for an autobiographical comedy movie. If you're a fan of Seth Rogen, I would imagine you'll enjoy it.

So if you dig Seth Rogen and his particular brand of humor then you will thoroughly enjoy this book. Well written, there is thought provoking insight on particular folks, and I really enjoyed how he wasn't afraid to put himself out there and name drop everyone he encountered. I laughed at work, I laughed in bed, I laughed just thinking about some of the stories while sitting on the toilet, so I recommended to some friends who also need to laugh. There are little diagrams in it so your imagination can fully picture what he is painting, I wish there were more of those since they added to the funny for me. 5/5 it is a DOPE read

Side note: He tweeted that another customer gave him a 1 because the book was "greasy". I too experienced the book cover having prints on it but thats the distributors mishap, not like Seth Rogen ate some fried chicken and handled the book himself to mail to me. You know what I did? Removed the book jacket and continued to read. Well worth it.

An interesting collection of stories on what it’s like to be a Jewish kid in Canada and how Seth found weed and shrooms. There are also some interesting stories about Hollywood. The organization of the stories is not in any particular order kind of like listening to Seth talk story, a little disjoint if you get what I mean.

Seth Rogen delivers once again

Reviewed in Canada on September 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

I don't think my summer would be complete without mentioning one of the literary highlights of it-reading Seth Rogen's autobiography “Yearbook”. I have to admit right up-front that I am a huge fan of this man's work-seeing every movie, TV show and almost everything he's done on YouTube, and of course I touched on part of that career last month when I wrote about the wonderful TV series “Freaks and Geeks”. One of the actors who got their start on that show was, of course, Seth Rogen. Most people know that Seth was born and raised in Vancouver, B.C. but some may not be aware of the fact that he signed up for a comedy workshop when he was only 12, co-wrote a draft for the movie “Superbad” (which was based on his real experiences) when he was only 13 (what?) and was doing stand-up routines in comedy clubs when he was just 16-making him the family's main wage earner when he co-starred on the TV series “Freaks and Geeks”. The rest is, as they say, history with multiple awards, over 20 movies (as writer, producer, actor or all), creating his own line of Cannabis products (“Houseplant” brand), pottery (no pun intended) and forming a charity with his wife (actress Lauren Miller-who he met when he worked on “Da Ali G Show”, and she acted in a few of his movies) that raises money, awareness and inspires change in how Alzheimers is perceived. It's called the “Hilarity For Charity” movement. This book is a very personal journey filled with over-the-top humour, including the worst summer camp experience imaginable, Seth's insights and experience in Hollywood (one case in particular shines a light on an actor of colour who was a racist jerk to Seth, making anti-Semetic comments) and general mayhem that made Seth who-and what he is today. It's easy for some people to just pass Seth Rogen off as a modern-day Cheech or Chong, but they would be extremely shortsighted and sadly mistaken, as Seth Rogen is a master at his craft and literally wrote the book on millennial comedies-and now he can throw it at us (yuk yuk)...I know, leave the jokes to the professionals. This is a great read-and that's no joke.

I love this book! It’s funny and east to read. It was extra relatable for me because I’m the same age as Seth and from the same place so all his references and reminiscing about his younger days was extra fun for me.
It’s a nice easy read. If you like Seth Rogan, I think you will like it. If you don’t like Seth Rogan, maybe you will after you read it! ;)
