Pieing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Taking a cream pie for charity.

Pieingor apie attackis the act of throwing apieat a person. In pieing, the goal is usually tohumiliatethe victim while avoiding actual injury. For this reason the pie is traditionally of thecreamvariety without a top crust, and is rarely if ever a hot pie. In Britain, a pie in the context of throwing is traditionally referred to as acustard pie.An aluminium pie pan or paper plate filled withwhipped creamor more typically,shaving creamcan substitute for a real pie.

Brought to a widespread audience as the "pie-in-face" gag insilent filmcomedies, pieing may sometimes be intended as a harmlesspractical joke.However, it can also be used as a means of political protest directed against an authority figure, politician, industrialist, or celebrity,[1]and perpetrators may regard the act as a form of ridicule.

Non-consensualpieing is a punishable offence in criminal law. Non-consensual pieing may also be actionable as acivil wrong(tort) giving the victim of the pieing the right to recoverdamagesin alawsuit.

Pieing and pie fights are a staple ofslapstick comedy,and consensual pie "tosses" are also common charity fundraising events, especially in schools.

Slapstick[edit]

InFred Karno's "Mumming Birds" sketch (1904), a pie in the face appears in the 'Frivolity music hall scene'.[2]

Pieing has its origins in the "pie in the face" gag fromslapstickcomedy. It appears on stage in the music hall sketches of the English theatre impresarioFred Karno.[2]It was first seen in film in the 1909Essanay Studiossilent filmMr. FlipstarringBen Turpin.[3]In the story, Turpin has a pie pushed into his face for taking liberties with several women. Beginning in 1913 withThat Ragtime BandandA Noise from the Deep,filmmakerMack Sennettbecame known for using one or two thrown pies in many of hiscomedy shorts.Sennett had a personal rule about who received the pies: "A mother never gets hit with a custard pie... Mothers-in-law, yes. But mothers? Never."[4]

At least a half dozen films have been made incorporating extended pie-throwing battles. The first wasCharlie Chaplin'sBehind the Screenreleased in 1916. The definitive pie fight in film occurs inThe Battle of the Century(1927) starringStan LaurelandOliver Hardy,using 3,000 pies.Our Gang'sShivering Shakespeare(1930) winds up with an auditorium full of people throwing pies. The 1935 short subjectKeystone Hotelfeatured a large pie-fight ending with the camera taking a pie. Another major pie-fight film appeared (their first one ever):The Three Stooges'In the Sweet Pie and Pie(1941).[5][6][7]Pieing had become such an established gag in Hollywood comedy that the song "Make 'Em Laugh"fromSingin' In The Rain(1952) concludes with the line "And then you get a great big custard pie in the face!" A film involving pies was the comedy,The Great Race(1965); known for having the largest pie fight in cinematic history.[8]Its $200,000 pie-fight scene used 4,000 pies and one large cake, and took five days to shoot.[9]Pie fights also featured inBeach Party(1963),Smashing Time(1967) andBlazing Saddles(1974). InBugsy Malone(1976), the "splurge guns" resembledspud gunswhich fired custard. Original plans called forDr. Strangelove(1964) to end with a pie fight; the scene, though filmed, was ultimately deemed excessively farcical by directorStanley Kubrickand removed from the final cut. Surviving stills from the excised pie fight have appeared online.[10]

There are many instances in theLooney Tunesseries of cartoons where characters "pie" each other in the face.Bugs Bunnyrepeatedly hitsElmer Fuddwith cream pies during a scene inSlick Hare(1947), and also shoves one in Elmer's face inHare Do.InShishkabugs(1962), Bugs Bunny releases a spring-loaded pie into the face of the king, causing the royal cookYosemite Samto be led away to a dungeon.Daffy Dilly(1948) hasDaffy Ducktrying to cure a dying millionaire by getting him to laugh. After he achieves this inadvertently, by landing in a cake, Daffy is hired as a sort of household jester and ends the cartoon by getting repeatedly pelted with cakes and pies. Bugs himself gets pied inCase of the Missing Hare,provoking him to spend the rest of the short wreaking revenge.[11]

Frank SinatraandSoupy Salescovered in pie.

Many comedy routines have used a pie as a gag, including ones performed bySoupy SalesandMonty Python,and those ofclownsin manycircusperformances.

A popularNickelodeonreality show calledWhat Would You Do?also features contraptions designed to hit participants in the face with multiple cream pies, often as punishment for losing, or sometimes as a reward for winning, a game performed on the show. The UK Saturday morning programmeTiswashad custard pies as a regular feature and even had a character called The Phantom Flan Flinger, a masked man who pied people.

The World Custard Pie Throwing Championships take place annually in the village ofCoxheathinKent,England.

Political acts[edit]

The probable originator of pieing as a political act in the United States was Jim Retherford, former underground newspaper editor and ghost writer ofJerry Rubin's Do It!, who landed a cream pie in the face of former UC Berkeley presidentClark Kerrin Bloomington, Indiana, October 14, 1969. Retherford's theatrics were widely reported in the U.S. and European press. The next pie was thrown byTom Forcade,the founder ofHigh Timesmagazine. In 1970, Forcade piedOtto N. Larsen,the Chairman of thePresident's Commission on Obscenity and Pornography.[12][13]Aron Kay, also aYippie,went on to take up Forcade's pieing tactics. Kay pied, among many others,William F. Buckley Jr.,Phyllis Schlafly,G. Gordon Liddy,E. Howard Hunt,andAndy Warhol.[14]A disciple of Aron Kay, Thom Higgins, pied singer andanti gay-rightsactivistAnita BryantinDes Moines, Iowa,in 1977 (audio footage of the incident is included in theChumbawambasong "Just Desserts", an homage to the concept of pieing).[15][16][17]Kay retired in 1992 after pieingright-wingactivistRandall Terry.Kay appears in cartoon form in a 2003 animated music video, "Death penalty for pot" by Benedict Arnold and The Traitors, where he andDana BealpiedGeorge W. Bushand former U.S. Attorney GeneralJohn Ashcroft(at 2 minutes and 33 seconds into the video).[18]

Concerning Kay, an article in theSan Francisco Examinersays: "He considers the Three Stooges, whom he began watching on TV as a kid, as the true fathers of pie-throwing."[6]

A noted victim of pieing wasMicrosoftfounderBill Gateswho was pied in Belgium in 1998.[19][20]A computer game was later released in which Gates' head pops up around the screen and the object is to "pie" as many of his heads as possible in the allocated time. Other victims include designerKarl Lagerfeld,American singerKenny Rogers,former Dutch finance ministerGerrit Zalmand media tycoonRupert Murdoch.[21]

The anonymousBiotic Baking Brigadehas pied or attempted to pie, among others, conservative punditsAnn CoulterandDavid Horowitz;andFred Phelps,the controversial leader of theWestboro Baptist Church.Coulter has also been attacked by the "terrorist" group Al Pieda.[22]The Canadian group theEntartistes,founded byRhinoceros Party of CanadafounderFrançois Gourd,has also pied many, including then-Prime Minister of CanadaJean Chrétien.In 2003 in the city ofCalgarythey piedRalph Klein,the premier of the Canadian province ofAlberta,saying in their press release: "Is it surprising to see Ralph Klein opposing theKyoto Accordfor the right of big corporations to pollute, the same corporations that finance his campaigns? "[5]

In 2001, environmentalistMark LynaspiedBjørn Lomborgat a book event due to his disagreement with the arguments he put forward inThe Skeptical Environmentalist.[23]

"The pie gives power back to the people because so many feel powerless in the face of big politicians and industrialists", explained Pope-Tart (a pseudonym), a member of the Entartistes.[24]NewsweekcolumnistGersh Kuntzmanwrote that pieing "deserves to be one of the most celebrated traditions in our so-called culture."[17]

Sometimes pieing targets suffer the prank with good humor.Jean-Luc Godardwas very pleased at being pied and said "this is what happens when silent movies meet talking pictures"; he intervened with the Cannes authorities on behalf ofNoël Godinto prevent him from being arrested. Anti-gay campaigner Anita Bryant, upon being pied by a gay activist on television, joked that "at least it's afruitpie ", apparently making a pun on the derogatory term for a gay man (" fruit "). However, moments later she was in tears. By contrast, Bernard-Henri Lévy has on multiple occasions attacked Godin and his followers, and Ann Coulter pressed charges in 2005 when she narrowly evaded a pie at theUniversity of Arizona.[25]Activist David Horowitz said of his pieing, "These attacks are sinister. The person who throws a pie is saying, ‘I hate you. I don't want you to speak.' I never saw it coming. And it took away my dignity. When you're lecturing, you're supposed to have an authority. But a pie turns it into a food fight."[17]

On January 25, 2010, Canada'sFisheries and Oceans MinisterGail Sheawas hit with a pie in her face while touring theCanada Centre for Inland WatersinBurlington, Ontario,in an act of protest against theseal hunt in Canadaby animal rights groupPETA.[26]PETA said in a release that it was part of its campaign "to stop the government's ill-advised sanction of the slaughter of seals."[27]

On 9 May 2017Alan Joyce,the chief executive of Australian airline Qantas, had a speech interrupted by a man who shoved a pie in his face.

According to former US presidentDonald Trump's former fixerMichael Cohen,his Boss often referred to the Bill Gates incident and instructed his security detail to look out for flying pies. Trump has also expressed a disdain for fruit-based projectiles, stating under oath that "you can be killed if that happens.”[33]
