History WesternAnimation / SausageParty

** A potato has his skin peeled off.

* AuthorTract: In light of the tropes {{Anvilicious}}, WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical and WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs here, it's also true that Seth Rogen is a Jewish comedian who's not averse to recreational drug use, and this film has been a pet project of his for some time by his own admission.

* HideYourChildren: {{Downplayed|Trope}} in regard to the anthropomorphic characters, but pretty much played straight in regard to the Humans. There's the Baby Carrots and Eggs that Douche interacts with, but there are no human children physically seen in the movie aside from pictures in the cookbook and cartoon illustrations on the Cereal Box.

* HumansAreBastards: To the food, very much so, but only after learning what their true fate is outside of the Grocery Store doors. It is {{justified}} however as the humans do not know that the animals are alive. Even when the Druggie finds the food is alive, he really is willing to help them get home.

* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Brenda -- [[spoiler: near the end of the movie, an enraged woman tries to strangle Frank, Brenda comes to the rescue and ''smashes said woman's head against the ground'']].

* NationalAnimalStereotypes: Or rather "Food" instead of "Animal". The movie leaves no stone when portraying different people as different foods.

''Sausage Party'' is a 2016 [[AllCGICartoon CGI-animated]] feature film that has the dubious honor of being the first R-rated, completely-CGI feature-length film ever produced[[note]](the OverlyNarrowSuperlative is because it is neither the first adult-oriented animated feature film -- 1972's ''WesternAnimation/FritzTheCat'' has that honor -- or the first computer-animated film to be rated R -- that would be 1999's ''WesternAnimation/SouthParkBiggerLongerAndUncut'')[[/note]]. It is a co-production of Point Grey Pictures, Creator/AnnapurnaPictures, [[Creator/{{Nitrogen}} Nitrogen Studios Canada]], and Creator/ColumbiaPictures. Directed by Greg Tiernan and Creator/ConradVernon (yes, [[WesternAnimation/Shrek2 that]] [[WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens guy]]), it features an AllStarCast of Creator/SethRogen (who also serves as co-producer), Creator/KristenWiig, Creator/MichaelCera, Creator/JonahHill, Creator/BillHader, Creator/NickKroll, Creator/EdwardNorton, Creator/DavidKrumholtz, Creator/DannyMcBride, Creator/CraigRobinson, Creator/JamesFranco, Creator/PaulRudd, and Creator/SalmaHayek. It is yet another collaboration between Rogen and co-screenwriter and co-producer Evan Goldberg, and their eighth film with Creator/{{Sony}}.

* ReactiveContinuousScream: Happens between Barry and the drug addict when the latter sees the former for the first time.

''Where we're sure nothing bad happens to food!!''

** Conrad Vernon [[WesternAnimation/{{Shrek}} yet again]] portrays an anthropomorphic food character.

** How better to spoof your typical CGI family comedy than to hire Conrad Vernon, who's [[WesternAnimation/Shrek2 directed]] [[WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens such]] [[WesternAnimation/{{Madagascar}} films]] himself, as one of the co-directors (it helps that [[IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine he directed Seth Rogen]] in ''WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens'')? There's also the Music/AlanMenken-penned "The Great Beyond," a send up of exactly the kind of whimsical Disney songs he's made a name for himself with.

* SpiritualSuccessor: Often described as "the version of ''WesternAnimation/FoodFight'' that doesn't suck."
** Can be considered a deconstruction of ''WesternAnimation/TheBraveLittleToaster''. Just replace household items with food products.

** This trope is even in effect with FX's airing. Despite how much it retains, it swaps the F-bombs or outright cuts them, which ruins the pacing at time. There is also a TV-14 version, where even more cuts are made to the original TV version.

** StealthPun: The nuts are prejudiced against fruit because "God hates figs." They're religeous nuts!

A rough cut of ''Sausage Party'' (dubbed as a "work-in-progress" cut) was first shown during the South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas on March 14, 2016, with a Red Band trailer posted online shortly thereafter. The final cut was released in the United States on August 12, 2016. [[https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/sausage-party-series-amazon-seth-rogen-1235414811/ As of October 2022]], a television series follow-up, ''Sausage Party: Foodtopia'' has been ordered by Creator/PrimeVideo.

* BlackComedy: This movie runs on it. It is rambunctiously vulgar and [[CrossesTheLineTwice line-crossing]] in [[UpToEleven more ways than one]].

* DarkReprise: When the "Great Beyond" is sung for the first time, it's bright and cheery. But when it's sung for the second time, though the lyrics and arrangement are unchanged, it's now somewhat creepy, as the audience now knows what the Great Beyond really is at this point.

* TeenyWeenie: Barry takes this trope UpToEleven since he ''literally'' is this trope.

''"Hey, tropers! Firewater here. I just got super, super, ''super'' baked. And you're gonna be blown away by what I found out. You see, the thing about TV Tropes is... well... it [[TVTropesWillRuinYourLife fucks you up!]] I know, right? It's heavy shit. As soon as you're on that site, your ass becomes addicted."''

* RealityEnsues:
** [[spoiler:Just because Frank had proof that "The Great Beyond" was a lie doesn't mean everyone would automatically believe him, especially since he didn't have [[MissingStepsPlan a plan to save everyone from being eaten by the gods.]] Barry even calls him out on it for calling them stupid for not believing in him.]]
** Due to being a considerably lower dosage, [[spoiler:it takes a few more minutes for the bath salts' effect to kick in for the humans in the supermarket than it took for the Druggie]].

* JerkAssHasAPoint: Frank telling off the other groceries for not believing him may have been harsh, but you can’t exactly disagree with him since they are basically believing something blindly. It really shows how the groceries reacted when they find out Frank was right.

* CrapsaccharineWorld: The film could have easily fooled most into thinking this was a Pixar movie, Hell, a kids movie in general, thanks to it’s adorable interpretation of living food.
