History YMMV / SausageParty

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: While we're meant to understand that Frank judging the groceries when showing them the proof of what really happens in the Great Beyond is meant to be him disrespecting their beliefs, [[{{Hypocrite}} they aren't any better when it comes to judging others for different beliefs]]. It's even stated in the opening song that foods with different beliefs are "f***ing stupid", so really, they have no right to get angry at Frank for judging them.

* MST3KMantra: The movie can only work if you completely give into WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief. On the one hand, realistically speaking, you can [[UnintentionallyUnsympathetic only sympathize so much with the food characters]], since human beings ''need'' to eat them in order to sustain themselves, regardless of the foods' sentience. On the other hand, the ''entire joke of the movie'' is that it's [[DeconstructedTrope a literal interpretation of a story that you're very obviously not supposed to be taking literally]].

** ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce Colon Movie Film for Theaters'' was another adult animated film about anthropomorphic food (like the TV series it was based on) that was released nine years before ''Sausage Party''. However, ''Sausage Party'' features a far more diverse variety of food characters; the ''Aqua Teen'' movie primarily featured three (albeit more if you count the intro with the movie theater snacks singing the advertisement jingle and [[Creator/BruceCampbell Chicken Bittle]], whom were all minor characters). Also, the ''Aqua Teen Hunger Force'' movie was based on a TV series and only had a limited release.

* DeathOfTheAuthor: While the film has indeed garnered flak over Greg Tiernan's poor treatment of the animators during production, this hasn't hindered its popularity with fans and certain viewers who are willing to look past it.

* BellisariosMaxim: There are more than a few FridgeLogic problems throughout the movie, [[MST3KMantra but it's mostly best to handwave them off]].

** The movie is rated 11+ in Sweden, and 12+ in Norway and France.[[note]]In the cases of Sweden and Norway, this is actually because their rating systems don't have an official rating for adults, so they went for the next best thing... which unfortunately happened to be the preteen ratings.[[/note]]

** The film features CampGay, StraightGay, and bisexual characters, but more importantly, [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight treats sexual orientation as a complete and utter non-issue]]. Characters simply love who they love and, in the end, have sex when, how, and with whomever they like. The film, even as it indulges in [[spoiler:a graphic food orgy]], makes it a point to portray this as wonderful and liberating.

* LoveToHate: Douche, of course.

* AnimationAgeGhetto: Intended as a [[TakeThat gigantic middle finger]] towards this mentality, as it goes out of its way to promote itself as such. But... weirdly enough, a year later, when an Creator/HBO channel in Brazil aired the movie, it was subsequently banned by the government with a fine Of R$ 2 million, because according to them "it aired inappropriate content at the time", since it was aired in the morning. But the channel denied it, claiming that they clarified the content of the animation and its age ratings. The weirdest thing of this is the fact of this channel not even being free-to-air, one of the most mature HBO channels and being one of the most expensive pay TV channels in the country...

** Four years before this movie was made came ''Animation/{{Padak}}'', which has a similar premise but with fish at a sushi restaurant. Although very much darker and more serious about the situation of the protagonists.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: While we're meant to understand that Frank judging the groceries when showing them the proof what really happens in the Great Beyond is meant to be him disrespecting their beliefs, they aren't any better when it comes to judging people for different beliefs.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotForKids: It really isn't.

* SoOkayItsAverage: Despite it's overall reception being much more positive-to-polarizing than had been expected, the consensus is that it's a perfectly serviceable raunchy comedy, but otherwise doesn't have much appeal beyond the novelty factor of basically just being a [=DreamWorks=] movie that's explicitly for adults.

* HypeBacklash: Despite the acclaim the film has received from critics, many general audience members find the film to be [[AllAdultAnimationIsSouthPark overly raunchy]] and arguably less mature than many so-called "kids'" films from Disney and Pixar, despite being advertised as the first ever CGI-animated film for adults.

** The food items dubbing the world outside the grocery store (where they unwittingly go to die) as "The Great Beyond" is doubly hilarious after Creator/{{Pixar}}'s ''WesternAnimation/{{Soul}}'' uses the same name as a moniker for ''the afterlife''.

* OverusedRunningGag: Having cute looking food products swearing subverting the expectations of Dreamworks fans? Hilarious. Having these characters swearing every other word for the rest of the film? Not so much.

* OverusedRunningGag: Having cute looking food products swearing subverting the expectations of Pixar fans? Hilarious. Having these characters swearing every other word for the rest of the film? Not so much.

* MisBlamed: A lot of critics believe the large amount of swearing featured in the film was solely included due to the the mentality of "[[RuleOfFunny wouldn't it be funny if food said fuck a lot?]]" What they tend to forget is that excessive swearing is a CreatorThumbprint of Creator/SethRogen's films and should be expected.

*** As Screen Rants [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKM8WUD3F8c pitch meeting]] showed; the gods are dead, so just indulge in mindless hedonism.

* SoOkayItsAverage: Despite it's reception being much more positive-to-polarizing than had been expected, the consensus is that it's a perfectly serviceable raunchy comedy, just not a particularly groundbreaking one and with little in it's story and characters to separate it from the kind of family movies it's parodying other than being explicitly for adults.

* SoOkayItsAverage: The movie was better than a lot of people though it would be, but it didn’t necessarily make it good. For many the movie is just too crude for its own good, whilst those not bugged by the humor are annoyed at the overall flatly written characters.

* EvilIsSexy: Believe it or not, Douche has quite a lot of female fans who view him as such.
** Camille is certainly a villain [[FromACertainPointOfView from the perspective of the foods]], and she is ''hot''.
