Comedian Seth Rogen is in hot water after moviegoers are calling many of the jokes in his new movie Sausage Party racist.
The movie, which was co-written by Seth Rogen, hit theaters on Friday, but Pixar spoof movie is being bashed as many moviegoers called the jokes ‘racist’, ‘disgusting’ and ‘sexist’.
Sausage Party centers around a hot dog’s relationship with other foods, and the movie ends with a massive food orgy.
The movie features a scene with some Nazi German sauerkraut dedicated to”exterminating the juice” compound.
Here’s what a few people said on Twitter:
Sausage party is the most disgusting, racist, and sexist movie I’ve seen. Never felt that uncomfortable in a movie. Avoid watching it

I like to have a sense of humor about things, but the racist jokes in Sausage Party were pushing it & the rape joke sent me over the edge.

.@sausage_party is the most misogynistic, racist piece of trash comedy I’ve seen in a long while. Walked out of the cinema after 20 min.

How much do you wanna bet the anti-ghostbusters clowns are gonna be praising sausage party for daring to be sexist and racist

SAUSAGE PARTY’s heavy reliance on racial stereotypes for gags pretty much put me off the whole film. Shitty, lazy writing.

Despite these accusations of racism, Sausage Party is doing extremely well in the box office. According to the Hollywood Reporter, should earn $31 million-$33 million for the weekend, ahead of expectations.
