A classic gag, tossing a pie into another person's face. Usually, this is a cream pie to get the proper Covered in Gunge effect. For extra comedy value, the victim might take a taste of the pie and note it's not bad. This Practical Joke was a staple of silent movie comedies, which came up with most of the variants. Often, a missed throw would result in an Escalating War pie fight. The all-out pie fight is a Forgotten Trope in movies, but still shows up elsewhere. A popular gag with this trope is where someone tempts fate by yelling "Let me have it!". Real Life celebrities and politicians sometimes have this happen to them as a protest. For example, Anita Bryant and Bill Gates have been pied in public. note Authorities take this very seriously, in fear of what might be also in the pie, or just because an assailant was able to get that close. On TV, the pie is often just whipped cream or shaving cream sprayed into a pie pan, which gives a similar effect while being much cheaper than baking up a whole pie just to throw it. Shaving cream is often considered better aesthetically than whipped cream, as unlike whipped cream, shaving foam does not melt under hot studio lights. The trope is also one of the most common and ancient forms of Slapstick and has been applied universally almost ever since its inception. Note that in real life, this can be considered assault and could get you in legal trouble, and it has the potential to be dangerous to the target, should they happen to be allergic to any of the pie's ingredients. See other clown tricks, like "Pulling Out Scarves" Trick, Clown Car, and Cartoon Juggling. See also Edible Ammunition, Food Fight, Food Slap, Food Shove Gag, I Taste Delicious, Produce Pelting, as well as Carrying a Cake (this is one possible, but not inevitable, result of performing that trope badly). |

Who Censored Roger Rabbit?: Roger reports having been pied by someone who was apparently trying to kill him. When Eddie Valiant asks why he believes it was anything besides a normal pieing, Roger explains in great detail the fine points of face-pieing. In Who P-P-P-Plugged Roger Rabbit?, Roger, while disguised as a human with the effects of Toon Tonic, hits a well-known movie critic in the face with a pie, confident that he'll get away with it due to his altered appearance. |

The Mr. Potato Head Show: Queenie Sweet Potato loves her sugar cream pies. At one point, she accidentally got some pie slapped onto her face, and when Mr. Potato Head's test audience loved it, he added a segment to his for-Toddlers episode where a large number of pies were thrown in Queenie's face. | |

The first time Fred Rogers ever turned on a television, he saw footage of people throwing pies in each other's faces. The violence disgusted him enough that he decided to devote his life to gentler television programming. Pies in the face are directly responsible for Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. | |

Carry On Loving combines this with a Running Gag: throughout the film, which is about a matrimonial agency, there's a young couple who appear in various scenes just enthusiastically making out with each other. In the climactic Foodfight!, the young woman stops kissing her man long enough to look up and see what's going on and gets a cream pie in the face. She doesn't even wipe it off but goes back to making out again. | |

The Pie Throw is a whole gag (weapon) track in the MMORPG Toontown Online. You start by throwing slices, then bigger pies, and then you start throwing cakes at your enemies. The boss battle against the VP features this heavily in a real-time combat form, where you first throw a pie into a compartment in his body to stun him and then knock him back with more pies in the face until he reaches the edge of the arena and falls. |

What's New? with Phil and Dixie: One strip about practical jokes in D&D says that since the point is loss of dignity, it's funnier to hit a paladin in the face with a pie than a tavern wench. The next panel shows a cheerfully pied paladin saying "Mmm, pie!" and a caption saying "...Sometimes". | |

The Whiteboard: Doc receives one in this strip, ultimately revealed to have been set up by Bandit. In this strip Doc is shown to have been hit by multiple pies after Roger had pressed a button labeled "do not press". Sandy gets one here thanks again to Roger and that button he shouldn't be pushing. Weaponized on the paintball field, with Doc using a pie from Roger's lunch to tag out an opposing team member. "Pie tag!", courtesy of Bandit. Doc gets hit with one here, courtesy of his great-grandfather Vladimir. The pie has been there long enough so as to basically be a pile of dirt in a pastry dish. |

NetHack has a cream pie item, which causes blindness. On the one hand, stealing from shops will result in Keystone Kops showing up to pie you and beat you with rubber hoses until you die. On the other hand, pieing something does not count as an attack, and the pie takes up the weapon slot, which makes it very useful for characters attempting pacifist conduct. | |

Wearing the Cape has the Pieman, a thrill-villain who always delivers two pies to his chosen public figures: the first by box and the second a few days later, in public, to the face. His ability to penetrate bodyguards and other deployed defenses makes him a matter of some concern to the forces of order, but since he has never graduated beyond baked goods he is considered a fairly low priority. | |

In Injustice: Gods Among Us, The Joker's super move starts by throwing a pie into his opponent's face, allowing him to move in for the rest of the attack (filled with crowbar-smashing and explosions!). In Injustice 2, his new Limit Break is instead initiated by lobbing a gas canister at his enemy, but if he's equipped with "Side Order of Pie" gear, it returns to being a pie to the face. | |

Pops pays you one doubloon for each pirate you attack, but takes one doubloon away for each customer you attack.

Discworld: Cream pies to the face are an occupational hazard of coming too close to the Fool's Guild. In Making Money, they're also portrayed as the greatest threat to Lord Vetinari's tenure as Patrician. When Mr. Bent throws a pie at Vetinari during a big public meeting, Moist takes the metaphorical bullet to save Vetinari from being publicly humiliated. "Bloody Stupid" Johnson once made an automatic pie-throwing machine for the Fools' Guild, but he screwed it up as always and it had to be mothballed after it was discovered pies to the face lose their humor when they fly at 300 miles per hour. They're a staple of Ankh-Morpork theatre — the Librarian is a frequent visitor and has simple, defined tastes in entertainment and a really good throwing arm for displaying his displeasure with a play. |

Richie Rich: In one story, Richie keeps coming up with ideas for keeping their money safe from burglars. One comes from an old slapstick comedy in which a police officer pies a criminal. Richie's implementation is to mount a spring-loaded giant hand in a safe, with a giant pie in front; when the burglar cracks the safe, the pie is launched at him. | |

Bugsy Malone is a parody gangster movie with child actors (including a young Jodie Foster) and used pies instead of handguns. It also had "splurge guns", based on the Thompson submachine gun, with drum magazines that allow rapid pie firing. Ironically, in the climax, Bugsy and Blousey are the only characters to come out unscathed beyond the residue of the other missiles. | |

David Rovics' "Song for the BBB" is a musical tribute to the Biotic Baking Brigade: a loosely connected group of activists famous for throwing pies in the faces of such figures as Bill Gates, San Francisco mayors Willie Brown and Gavin Newsom, anti-gay preacher Fred Phelps, economist Milton Friedman, Swedish King Carl Gustaf, former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, conservative journalist William F. Buckley, right-wing Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn, former WTO head Renato Ruggiero, and Ann Coulter, among others. | |

The Muppet Show: In the Sandy Duncan episode, she gets pied by Behemoth for calling him ugly. (She's trying to say he's beautiful inside.) Fozzie gets one from a rival comedian bear in one episode, and from Paul Simon in another. At the end of the Candice Bergen episode, Kermit appears with a "pie for Fozzie Bear" (the culmination of a Running Gag where Fozzie would call there was "[X] for Kermit the Frog"). When he pies Fozzie, some of it splatters onto Bergen, and Fozzie says "Look what you did!" |

Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance has a Mystery Room in the Item World where a Fight Mistress will ask you if you want to use a pie. Say yes, and she'll use it to pie a Witch in the face (with animations ranging from using a whole stack of pies to one that explodes like a bomb!). Afterwards, the Fight Mistress will give the player a Pie (which counts as a Fist weapon; its Ambusher innocent ensures the target won't counter-attack the wearer). | |

Past victims include Sunny, Mickie James, Ashley Massaro, Michelle McCool, Kelly Kelly, Layla, the Bella Twins, Rosa Mendes, Joy Giovanni, Vickie Guerrero, and Stephanie McMahon. The men also sometimes get it in diva-related segments, as has happened to Big Show and Santino Marella. | |

UltraCar in Shortpacked!. It started out here and remains her (she body-swapped to a Robot Girl, long story) weapon of choice for humiliating meat-sacks. This was also UC's defining characteristic in Willis's early Ultra Car comics (with "sweet pickle pies"), but they're almost certainly non-canon. Carla, her counterpart in Dumbing of Age has only done it once, but it was an epic once. |

It not only gets Toby addicted to goblin fruit until she finds a hope chest, but also leads to her unconsciously using her Dóchas Sidhe powers to make herself almost human, just so she can get a better high. | |

There was an entire episode of Kirby: Right Back at Ya! dedicated to this after Dedede was seen getting pied on live television. Hilarity Ensues, and many of the pies thrown are simply eaten by Kirby. Dedede even had the Monster of the Week be a pie-throwing monster; its pies are so horrible that even Kirby won't eat them. Even Meta Knight is pied at one point. | |

Superman: There's a running gag of Prankster pieing Superman. Granted, on at least one occasion, the pie delivered an electric shock or other nasty surprise. Gotlib did the same gag on a U-Comix cover: Superman is Immune to Bullets, but his dignity is ruined by the pie. | |

Skippy's List references one particular incident where pies, to be thrown at the unit CO, would be auctioned off for a charity fundraiser. The pies, however, would be "voluntarily" bought by individual soldiers. So Skippy, being The Loonie that he is, decides that a traditional cream pie would be too blasé, and goes with something a little nontraditional... | |

Fraggle Rock: In "Fraggle Wars," the World's Oldest Fraggle explains to Red that they're supposed to hate the Cave Fraggles because they have no sense of humor. He says that they think the best part of getting a pie in the face is cleaning up afterward. Hitting the World's Oldest Fraggle and the Cave's Oldest Fraggle in the face with pies turns out to be the key to preventing a war between the Rock Fraggles and the Cave Fraggles. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force Games: In the ones with the GX cast at least, you can play a Dodgeball-esque minigame. One of the things you can throw is a Pie. It disables whoever is hit by it for a couple of turns. Also in the Third Tag Force Game there's a sandwich throwing minigame. One of the things that needs to be avoided is Pie. |

Said letter includes a drawing of what appears to be Seneschal Bran, who has taken a pie to the face that may or may not have been thrown by Varric himself. In his editor's note, Varric mentions that he's going to have the drawing framed. | |

The woman caught the pie just in time. When she got up to put the pie in the window, Buddy jumped on her, knocking her on the floor once again. She didn't caught the pie this time and it landed on her face. | |

Singin' in the Rain: Kathy Seldon says "Here's one thing I learned from the movies"—lampshading her use of the trope as she throws a pie angrily at Don Lockwood. However he ducks and it hits Lina Lamont instead—as often happened in previous movies, so this is as much a straight as a subverted version of the trope. This also creates a It Began with a Twist of Fate, because this results in Lamont getting Seldon fired from her catering job, who is then amenable to working with Lockwood, so that they fall in love. Which is exactly what one would expect to happen in a romantic movie, ironically confirming Seldon's remark, and perhaps even an indirect way of Breaking the Fourth Wall, since her remark is made as if she was not in herself in a movie, but the trope plays out in a way which makes sense only if she actually is in a movie (as she is). Cosmo in his song "Make 'em Laugh": |

The Great Race has one of, if not the, largest pie fights ever. The scene cost 200,000 dollars to shoot over 5 days and required 4,000 pies. Including one that's so big, it can't be thrown; it's a huge multi-layer cake, and two different people get knocked into it at two different times (actually just Jack Lemmon playing two characters). | |

In Path To Munchies, Taylor discovers that she can make foolproof plans for anything as long as food is involved in the process, and isn't impressed. Her first thought for using it to be a hero is "What am I going to do? Throw pies at Kaiser until he surrenders?" She meant it as a joke, but her power promptly gives her a path to do just that. She decides not to go through with it when it turns out to be not only doable but rather sadistic, since it's months of him never being able to show his face without it getting pied. By the endgame, he'd be a broken shell of a man known by everyone as 'Pieser', and Taylor would be thought of as a villain. | |

Chuggaaconroy ended up on the receiving end of one during the 2010 Mario Marathon held by The Speed Gamers. He enjoyed it to the point where he forced himself into the pie, while the others speculated if he was just hungry, or he was simply shoving his face in it. | |

Kill la Kill has a scene in Episode 4 where Ryuko and Mako are navigating a massive obstacle course set up by Honnouji Academy's Disciplinary Committee alongside fellow student Maiko... and then Mako notices a trail of cheese and is easily lured by it to a Box-and-Stick Trap. Ryuko pushes Mako out from underneath the box and knocks over the stick, and only has time to register that there's a pie underneath the box before she gets her face covered in cream. Mako reacts simply by stating the pie looks delicious. | |

The "lost scene" from Dr. Strangelove, or How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is a massive pie fight in the Pentagon's War Room. Cut for not quite fitting the darkness of the rest of the movie; and because everyone was laughing during the one take they could shoot and they couldn't waste time doing another shoot. | |

Dungeon Crawl: The 2013 April Fools' Day update briefly added Jester as a playable background; they started with a stack of pies that could either be eaten or thrown at enemies to temporarily blind them. Later on, the Killer Klowns found in the Realm of Zot were given the ability to throw pies. These do surprisingly heavy damage for confectionery, and also carry one of several nasty effects like Silencing you or making you unable to drink potions. |

One of the scenarios in The Three Stooges video game is based on the The Sweet Pie and Pie short mentioned above. To get the best score in this scenario, you have to throw all your pies, and avoid getting hit by pies thrown by the opponents. Like all the scenarios, it gets harder each time you redo it, with more pies required and the opponents becoming faster, but the payoff becoming greater. | |

The Disney Loops: It's Gargoyles canon that Goliath gets hit in the face with a banana cream pie (fired via bazooka). In the Loops, it's an unavoidable Running Gag that he gets shot in the face with it at least once a Loop. He finds it annoying, but ultimately harmless (especially compared to the Doctor getting shot by a Dalek and forcing a Regeneration), and is willing to let bygones be bygones... even when it happens multiple times in one Loop. To top it off, he's taken to collecting the abandoned pie-shooting bazookas. | |

In Dead Rising there's a few places with pies, which you can eat for one hit point or throw at zombies. Score a direct hit to their face and the pie will stick, leaving them unable to see you. If you attack them and knock off the pie, you can pick it up and throw it again. This is also used as one of Frank West's attacks in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, where he throws a pie at the opponent's face. It only sticks for a second though. | |
