The first trailer for Shrek 5 has arrived, and it's already causing a stir—not just for nostalgia, but for a moment so raunchy that social media platform X has age-restricted it. The culprit? The Gingerbread Man, also known as Gingy, flaunting a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL).
Trailer Sparks Controversy
In the trailer, Gingy receives a spanking from two gingerbread ladies, revealing suspiciously enhanced gumdrop cheeks. He proudly declares, 'I'm caked up like a freaking bakery.' The scene has divided fans, with some expressing outrage and others finding it hilarious.
User @realjakejacks tweeted, 'Wtf is this. This isn't Shrek. I didn't want to see Gingerbread Man shaking his butt cheeks. They ruined Shrek.' Another user, @HeyItsSinko64, added, 'Much like the character himself, the gingerbread man jokes have become stale.'
However, not everyone was offended. @Azure_Lover joked, 'Gingerbread Man got the Gumdrops BBL from the Bakers Man!' while @glowinasia wrote, 'They gave the gingerbread man a bbl omg??'
X's Age-Restriction
The platform X has hidden images of the scene behind an age-verification wall, deeming it unsuitable for users under 18. This has only added to the amusement, as the franchise has always included adult humor, but this is the first time an animated biscuit has crossed the line for the platform.
Shrek has a history of adult jokes, from Lord Farquaad's bedroom scene to countless double entendres. However, the explicit nature of Gingy's transformation has pushed boundaries further than before.
Cast and Release
Universal Pictures released the trailer ahead of the film's summer 2027 release. Returning stars include Mike Myers as Shrek, Eddie Murphy as Donkey, and Cameron Diaz as Princess Fiona, with Zendaya joining as Felicia, Shrek and Fiona's daughter.
The teaser also shows Donkey excited about another adventure, saying, 'It's really happening. Do you know what that means? I need a makeover—get my arms yoked and my back jacked, my abs ab-ded, maybe even tighten up my badonkadonk.' While Donkey's badonkadonk is mentioned, it's Gingy's that has everyone talking.
