The [_Sausage Party_](http://time.com/4389758/sausage-party-trailer-finding-dory/)star showed off his marketing chops on Friday’s episode of [_The Ellen DeGeneres_ _Show_](http://time.com/4492895/ellen-michelle-obama-cvs-video/), delivering a hilarious spiel for Vaseline to the host. Tasked with endorsing a mystery product during a segment called “Pitch, Please,” Rogen got a slew of laughs from the studio audience with comments such as, “I’d keep it in my living room because I want it handy,” and, “I think mostly kids will probably like it.” The bit was intended to help promote Rogen’s charity, [Hilarity for Charity](http://hilarityforcharity.org/), which raises awareness of Alzheimer’s disease and provides grants for those who can’t afford in-home care.
