History YMMV / SausageParty

** In that it's a brutal, adult-centric work disguised as something child friendly, it can be seen as one for ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'', ''VideoGame/ConkersBadFurDay'' or possibly ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt''.

* MisBlamed: Regarding the controversy over the animators' working conditions, the animators that spoke out [[https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2016/08/17/for-audiences-sausage-party-was-a-laugh-riot-for-some-animators-it-was-a-nightmare/?utm_term=.9e3744541c8c stressed that their issues were strictly with the animation company]], Nitrogen Studios[[note]]a non-union animation studio based out of Vancouver, Canada[[/note]], and director Greg Tiernan, and had no complaints against writer-producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg or director Conrad Vernon. Despite this, many angry responses were directed against the film's crew as a unit (or, more egregiously, singled out Rogen), and the issue was often framed as a way of "vindicating" complaints about the content and morality of the film itself.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: A society for talking food and talking toilet paper complete with religion and social tensions is certainly strange. Considering [[TheStoner how much of a pothead Seth Rogen is known to be]], it wouldn't be surprising.
** This of course comes into question when it turns out the only way humans can see Foods talking (and subsequently is key to how the Foods fight the humans) is [[spoiler:if they're high on bath salts!]]

* WTHCastingAgency: Many question if Music/AlanMenken's involvement in the movie was necessary, let alone fitting. Is it just so he can poke fun at his works with Disney? Or is it an attempt to [[PlayingAgainstType try something new]] and shake off his reputation [[IAmNotSpock of being a Disney composer]]? His hiring to do the score was bizarre to many, even to Disney fans who enjoy his scores, aside from his work in ''Theatre/LittleShopOfHorrors'' before working with Disney.

** This won't be the last time Creator/NickKroll [[WesternAnimation/BigMouth stars in a raunchy]] AnimatedShockComedy.

For bonus points, one scene has Douche [[spoiler:giving Juice Box a blowjob against his will]]. Are we talking about ''Sausage Party'' or [[Recap/BigMouthS1E7RequiemForAWetDream Requiem For A Wet Dream]]?

* 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}} the problem is that 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 "fucking stupid", so really, they have no right to get angry at Frank for judging them.

* MemeticMolester: Douche. [[spoiler:The juice box scene certainly enforces this]].

* SpiritualAdaptation:

** The WebAnimation/YouTubePoop [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=muEXKZEtgBM "Billy Mays Pitches Sausage Party"]] has Billy Mays smashing the movie posters of ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratatouille}}'', ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs'', and ''WesternAnimation/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs2'' at one point in the video when he tells the audience they could say goodbye to those films after seeing the movie. In the deleted alternate ending, Seth Rogen and his friends state that ''Sausage Party'' is the best food movie they’ve seen since ''Ratatouille'' and ''Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs''.

* HarsherInHindsight: A meta example, as well. The cheery "That's terrible work, you're fired" gag in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBRmh06Ab2E Seth Rogen's Animation-Imaginatorium]] became a lot less funny when people realized the horrible working conditions the animators had been under.

** The food's "destiny" is actually to be eaten.

** ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' had [[https://youtu.be/t1aX2OBvC5Y a scene]] that also [[TakeThat made fun of]] Creator/{{Pixar}} with AnthropomorphicFood. The only difference is that the food act like the way the toys in ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'' do rather than the whole AlternateUniverse situation. It's actually gotten to the point where [[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer people have mistaken that]] ''[[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer Simpsons]]'' [[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer scene for a scene in]] ''[[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer Sausage Party]]''

* UncannyValley: Owing to the film's modest budget, some of the facial features on the human character designs seem a little off. To say nothing of the anthropomorphic hot dog buns, who resemble blow-up dolls whose [[BodyHorror mouths go the wrong way]].

* OvershadowedByControversy: It's ''very'' difficult to bring this movie up without mentioning the mistreatment of the animators by co-director Greg Tiernan.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment:
** InvokedTrope. Once the foods find out the [[EatenAlive truth]] about the Great Beyond, you can't help but feel a bit bad for them when they sing about how the Great Beyond is a wonderful place in the beginning of the film.

* 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.
** Regarding the controversy over the animators' working conditions, the animators that spoke out [[https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and-entertainment/wp/2016/08/17/for-audiences-sausage-party-was-a-laugh-riot-for-some-animators-it-was-a-nightmare/?utm_term=.9e3744541c8c stressed that their issues were strictly with the animation company]], Nitrogen Studios[[note]]a non-union animation studio based out of Vancouver, Canada[[/note]], and director Greg Tiernan, and had no complaints against writer-producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg or director Conrad Vernon. Despite this, many angry responses were directed against the film's crew as a unit (or, more egregiously, singled out Rogen), and the issue was often framed as a way of "vindicating" complaints about the content and morality of the film itself.

** It only took four years after this movie for a genuine Pixar film, ''WesternAnimation/Soul'', to unironically call the afterlife “The Great Beyond.”

* OvershadowedByControversy: Twice over.
** The leaked script left a sour taste in a lot of people’s mouths. Even when the movie turned out better than expected, the initial bad impression made a lot of people ignore the movie anyway.
** The controversy of the mistreated animators would result in more people skipping the movie and judging it more harshly.
