Plot

J. Daniel Evans (Jesse Eisenberg)awakens early in the morning inside a stolen bread truck filled with condoms and mayonaise. Unable to escape the truck without setting off all the airbags, he manually inflates a condom to use as a defense from the impact. As he is escaping, he accidently places his foot on the accelerator which sends the truck careening into a Subway restaurant in which he encounters a large-breasted man by the name of Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo) who has been breaking into restaurants and huffing red pepper for sexual excitement. The two form a pact in order to cover up a plot perpetrated by the CEO of Wool 'N Hot Sauce Condom Recycling Center, Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman), in which he will overtake North Korea in order to secure an extremely rare Elvis Presley album. As they are leaving the restaurant they are shot by Henley Reeves (Isla Fisher), a crazed police officer from Minot, North Dakota who has taken the resteraunt staff hostage inside the walk-in cooler unbeknownst to Atlas and Rhodes. She attempts to explain her reasoning for shooting them, but in the process is ambushed by several men who are all dressed as Chester Cheetah. The men take the three into an abandoned sewage mine where they interrogate them using tazers and soup spoons. When asked where he aquired the truck, Atlas explains that he has an unusually small penis and has been looking for a condom that will not slip off while masturbating. Seemingly disturbed, Rhodes begins to vomit and recite the pledge of allegiance, adding "play ball" to the end of it. As he finishes, the lights are turned on and a wolf-like creature named Merrit Osbourne (Woody Harrelson) attacks and orally rapes the Cheetah Gang with spike-covered baseball mitts. He unties Atlas and Rhodes while leaving Reeves in the store room where an extremely slow moving, rusty ceiling fan has been turned on. Reeves escapes using a bloody sponge and an extension chord and soon catches the others as they are attempting to climb into an acid vat which Rhodes has explained as giving eternal youth and sexual pleasure. She fatally wounds Rhodes with ketchup packets and a loaf of sourdough bread while Atlas and Osbourne are able to escape through a heating duct. Reeves attempts to follow but does not have a condom, so she decides to go to Six Flags instead to ride the Log Ride. When Rhodes and Osbourne arrive at the condom depository in Fargo, they are met by two methamphetamine addicts named Alma Vargas (Melanie Laurent) and Jack Wilder (Dave Franco) who had been recently parolled for an insurance fraud scandal invovling carnival workers who had been intentionally trapped in a 1974 Ford Grand Marquis Police Interceptor vehicle in order to burn down the Empire State Building which had been stealthly moved into downtown Minneapolis as a prank via tugboat. When asked if she had a cigarette lighter, Vargas explains that she only accepts chickens as payment. Confused, Atlas runs down a flight of stairs and intentionally breaks his arm against a condom machine. Inside the depository, a night sentry named Arthur Tressler (Michael Caine) has just finished painting a large nude portrait of himself wearing a clown mask on the side of the company advertising panel van. High on paint fumes, he begins gluing condoms to the ends of test inflators which causes them to swell to the size of turnpike toll booths in a matter of minutes. Realizing he has only a few minutes before the building is destroyed and is also captured on camera, he attempts stealing seven security cameras but is killed whenever the air is sucked from the room by a malfunctioning shop-use vaccuum cleaner. Meanwhile, Vargas and Wilder have shown Atlas and Reeves several pornograpghic movies seemingly for no reason, much to the disdain of Evans (Common) who has been spying on them from a hot air balloon above. Evans parachutes down onto the street and begins choking Wilder with a bunjee chord. Vargas attempts to save Wilder, but is instantly killed when she is bitten on the elbow by a bionic spider. Osbourne escapes into a mailbox and Atlas hides by disguising himself as a man sitting on a parking meter reading a newspaper. Evans disappears while trying to dispose of Wilder's body by throwing it into a drainage gutter. As Wilder's body remains hovering over the street, Atlas motions to Osbourne to climb on top of it. The two begin to sneak through a window while using Wilder as a wheeless skateboard in order to distract the sentries. They arrive at a security checkpoint but are stopped by an unexplainable force field that seems to be made of thin rubber. In horror, they realize that the field was actually an overpressurized condom. Enraged at it's size, Atlas begins to stab at it with his penis in order to puncture it. Osbourne stops him just as the condom's reservoir tip ascends into the hallway behind them and destroys the walls. A door is revealed behind one of the walls. Osbourne investigates, but falls into a massive black hole and is incinerated. Alone and angry, Atlas has constructed a beehive and is luring the bees to the condom using sugar water in hopes that they will begin stinging and puncture the condom. Bradley arrives just as a fire breaks out in his car, resulting in the falling of seven telephone poles causing a meltdown to ensue at a local nuclear power facility. The condom explodes and levels the entire town, leaving Atlas as the only survivor. Investigation by Agent Fuller (Michael Fuller) Reveals that the cause of the explosion was in fact a missing bread truck that had been stolen the night before.
