STX Entertainment has released a new clip from the upcoming R-rated comedy The Happytime Murders which sees Melissa McCarthy’s Detective Edwards visiting a puppet dealer and trying out their drug of choice, rock sugar – which the dealer claims “will put a human in a diabetic coma for a month, but to a puppet… pure ecstasy”.
