Succession’s Infamous ‘Boar On The Floor’ Scene Could’ve Gone Even Further

In the interview, Cox refers to the scene as the moment where you see Logan’s “demon come out,” and that’s a pretty accurate description. Logan roars and bellows as he commands Tom, Greg, and Karl to go stand by the fireplace and then play his demented game. He demands that the three men fight over two sausages while snorting like pigs, and whoever ends without a sausage will be the mole and suffer the consequences. When Tom points out that it doesn’t seem like a very good system, Logan ignores him and has Frank fling a frank in his general direction. Rasche explained the rationale behind the three men squabbling for the sausage:

“When someone says, ‘Get on the floor,’ you have a choice of either getting on the floor or walking out. That’s kind of what you’re confronted with. And I guess what went through my mind as my character was, ‘This is going to go away.’ And you take it one step further and you think, ‘Well it can’t go any further than this,’ and then it does. And I guess the choices are; lose everything or suffer humiliation. And I guess we’re all weak enough that our choice was to suffer the humiliation rather than lose everything.”

The Roy family loves humiliating people, whether it’s Logan’s boorish games or Kendall playing Nirvana’s “Rape Me” while his sister Shiv (Sarah Snook) gives a delicate speech about sexual assault allegations at her family’s company. How long people are willing to play along is up to them, but most seem willing to completely debase themselves for just a tiny bit of Logan’s power and money.
