Yes, a hot dog and a human man are totally joining giblets in “Sausage Party: Foodtopia,” and it’s every bit as weird and gross as it sounds. In fact, it’s such a depraved, graphic scene that it’s the only episode that Amazon asked to have a content warning for upon release. When you hit play on the “sixth course” of the show, the warning reads:
“We are proud to announce that this episode contains a scene so graphic that Amazon asked that we issue a warning. This is that warning. You’ve been warned.”
So how exactly did the creators of “Sausage Party: Foodtopia” go about crafting a scene where a man has sex with a hot dog? Were there any limits as to what they could and could not show? Leading up to the release of the series (all eight episodes are streaming now), we interviewed Seth Rogen, Kristen Wiig, and Sam Richardson (who plays the show’s villain, an orange named Julius), and as an executive producer of the show, Rogen had all the answers we could ever want about this confounding cuisine coitus. Through fits of laughter, Rogen explained:
“I think we could show most things we wanted to. I think we generally were able to have our druthers — would that be the word? — as far as what was visible on screen. We wanted it to kind of be sweet in some ways, but then kind of escalate into a more, I guess, graphic place. But yeah, it was fun to brainstorm on … It’s a hot dog and a dude f**king each other! What do you want from me?! We pictured all the ways a hot dog and a dude could f*** each other. You can grab the shaft and jump on the balls like a little trampoline. You start with just going in his ass, and all that kind of stuff. I t***y-f**k him, or he t***y-f**ks me, I guess, at one point. That’s where you start to be like, ‘Okay, now we’re on to something here.’ We tried a 69, I go for it, but I’m too little.”
