In recent years, Disney’s limited edition popcorn buckets have been a source of rabid consumerism, and while they may not have directly inspired the growing trend of themed snack containers accompanying blockbuster movies, it does seem mildly connected. At least, without all the NSFW suggestiveness. It more or less started with Dune ’s sex toy-esque bucket , which inspired many warm feelings during the winter season, with Deadpool and Wolverine ’s popcorn tub set to take that baton right in the mouth.
Which means The Boys couldn’t logically be that far away. If you’re talking dong-related references in pop culture these days, you’re in a conversation that will almost necessarily revolve around The Boys ’ fictional universe. From Rob Benedict’s clone Supe Splinter fighting in the nude to Gen V ’s giant prosthetic penis prop to the exploding dong from Season 3’s “Herogasm” premiere, the darkly comedic comic book saga goes hard for full-frontal male nudity.
So it should surprise — [thoroughly checks notes] — exactly zero fans to learn that Erik Kripke’s twisted satire utilized the penile glans for its bucket tie-in for Episode 6, as seen below in one of the show's Instagram posts. A post shared by THE BOYS (@theboystv) A photo posted by on No one ever said The Boys is a show worthy of award based on subtlety and the mocked-up snack vessel seen above is pretty clear-cut proof. (Yes, that was probably a circumcision joke.
) Perhaps had the bucket featu.
