Corpulent Canadian comedian Seth Rogen is getting in a ton of trouble with social justice warriors for perceived racial stereotypes in his new animated adult comedy Sausage Party.
The film, co-written by Rogen, is coming out tomorrow, but a tidal wave of liberal outrage is engulfing the movie, which is a spoof of Disney and Pixar animated films. Sausage Partys bizarre plot revolves around a hot dogs relationship with other foods, and it ends with a food orgy.
The beef from the SJWs revolves around the racial stereotypes of some of the foods in the Sony movie. An Arabic loaf of lavash (voiced by David Krumholtz ) riffs on the 77 bottles of extra-virgin olive oil awaiting him in the next life. Also causing offense is an Irish potato who sings [Irish ballad] Danny Boy and whose catchphrase is Jesus! F**k!
Other comedic elements of the film that have galvanized the SJWs: Salma Hayek voicing a Mexican taco, a Native American bottle of Firewater (which quips he had settled in the grocery store first before getting shoved in the backroom), and some Nazi German sauerkraut dedicated toexterminating the juice compound. Critics are tweeting their distaste with how this Sausage is made:
Just saw Sausage Party the biggest piece of crap ever seriously never waste your time. Gross, unfunny, racist, sexist & a rape scene

Being sexist, racist, and generally gross isnt excused by your edginess, Sausage Party.

Saw a prescreening of Sausage Party last night I mean I laughed but overall it relied waaaay too much on racist humor

SAUSAGE PARTYs heavy reliance on racial stereotypes for gags pretty much put me off the whole film. Shitty, lazy writing.

Jordan Hoffman, the highly rated movie critic at the Guardian, liked the film on the grounds its an equal opportunities abuser, a daring stance for a writer of the PC paper of record. Guardian readers duly registered their disapproval:
Oh man that Guardian review of SAUSAGE PARTY. The racial stereotypes are ok because they make fun of everybody!

Rogen is no stranger to un-PC controversyhe starred in and co-wrote the politically incorrect comedy The Interview, which involved a plot to assassinate North Koreas leader. (The film also got caught up in the fallout over the cyber attack against Sony in late 2014.)
But back in May, Rogen issued a mea culpa for his edgy past while promoting the politically correct Neighbors 2, telling The Guardian: Its funny looking at some movies weve made in the last 10 years under the lenses of new eras, new social consciousness. Theres for sure some stuff in our earlier moviesand even in our more recent movieswhere even like a year later, youre like Eh, maybe that wasnt the greatest idea.
Time will tell whether he will feel the same way about Sausage Party.
With Seth Rogen in charge it’s probably garbage. Still, kudos to him for annoying the leftist special snowflakes.
I remember that one!..............

For any ‘joke’ or ‘comedy’ or ‘stereotype’ to be funny, it MUST have at its core a kernel of TRUTH.............
I was thinking of that very same insane liberal-tantrum GIF the other day and couldn’t find it. THAT is Progressivism defined. (As well Hillary’s supporters/#NeverTrumpers.)
What Seth Rogan and all the rest of them don’t realize is that political correctness is going to be the DEATH of the comedy business.
I did not know he was a Canadian until I read this.
Explains a lot..............
Exactly right.
Stereotypes exist for a reason.
If they didn’t have a kernel of truth, no one would be offended. haha
You are free to have your opinion....as long as they agree with it. If it does not however.........
“What Seth Rogan and all the rest of them dont realize is that political correctness is going to be the DEATH of the comedy business.”
I think they DO realize it, which is why they’re willing to put out politically incorrect films.
Yes but they support the same Liberal causes and politicians who are driving the PC censorship.
Does this portend the return of Speedy Gonzalez and the Goofy Gophers?
or the Frito Bandito?............
Yep, it explains a lot and then some; Rogen has ZERO respect for the USA and nothing but contempt for common decency and our tradition of modesty.
A reviewer shouts with glee...
Come for more F-bombs than a season of “Deadwood.” Stay for the aggressive religion bashing!
PC is the death of everything; But yes -- at the core of Comedy is satire, clever ribbing, or making fun of awkward situations. That obviously means "feelings" are involved, and as we know "hurt feelings" are a Mortal Sin to the high priests of the Church of PC.
A show like Seinfeld is destined to the dust heap of history once the Church of PC gains a bit more power. The entire premise of the show was all about "hurt feelings."
Also known as the Politically Correct, and “Crybullies”. .
The big muslim money behind the scenes is outraged about the muslim innuendo. Nothing else matters.
