Seth Rogen Pranks Shoppers To Promotes His New Film Sausage Party

By Karen Valenzuela, @VictoriaNoir89

 

Have you seen the trailer for Seth Rogen’s new film, Sausage Party? (Careful, it’s not safe for work!)

 

“The only thing food wants is to go home with us,” the tagline at the beginning of the trailer reads. The food products on the shelves of the grocery store jostle to the the front for the chance to be chosen by the gods!!! And when they get home, they see their potato buddy taken out of the bag…and skinned alive.

 

Suddenly it’s a horror film for food products.

 

Frank, a hot dog, and Brenda, his hot dog bun girlfriend (they were made for each other!) discover the horrific truth about being “chosen” and they enlist the help of their fellow enlightened food friends to warn the others.

 

Sausage Party was made by the usual suspects: Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, and the creators of Superbad,Pineapple Express, Neighbors, etc. And just a few of the actors and actresses lending their voicing talents are Salma Hayek, Kristen Wiig, James Franco, Edward Norton, Paul Rudd, Craig Robinson, Danny McBride, and Nick Kroll.

 

To promote Sausage Party, creator Seth Rogen, who also voices Frank the hot dog, played a prank on a few lucky shoppers at a grocery store in New York. They put some animatronic food–namely a cantaloupe, a loaf of bread, and a sausage–on the shelves, waiting for an unsuspecting shopper to approach, and Seth Rogen spoke to them through a microphone from another room.

 

What follows is hilarious.

Sausage Party opened in theaters Friday and is now playing everywhere. The film is Rated R for strong language and drug use. So…Basically, it’s a typical Seth Rogen film.
