Seth Rogen’s Tiresome ‘Sausage Party’ Series Stretches Groan-Worthy Food Puns to Their Limit: TV Review
Seth Rogen reprises his role as a talking hot dog in 'Sausage Party: Foodtopia', which stretches the movie's groan-worthy food puns to their limit.
For the reason that Seth MacFarlane’s “Ted” got a seven-episode threequel that became one of the first big hits of this year, despite iffy execution and a lack of Mark Wahlberg: because people like to laugh, and because there are only so many R-rated sex jokes you can fit into an 89-minute movie. As a result, it’s pointless to ask whether the 2016 film “Sausage Party” needs an eight-episode follow-up, subtitled “Foodtopia.” Of course it doesn’t, any more than the story has to abide by the movie’s fourth-wall-busting conclusion, in which an anthropomorphic bunch of talking foods resolve to track down their live-action creators. Instead, “Foodtopia” sticks to the basics: pop culture references (German director Wiener Hotdog), silly sight gags (a cucumber spitting “face mist”) and crass profanity (food can control “humies” like a marionette by crawling up their anus).
