** At the end of "That's All, Jokes," the Queen uses this as RestrainedRevenge on all her subjects for the prank that was pulled on her, which no one will confess to.
** In "Pie Noon," this is the bully Mike [=McNasty=]'s specialty. The whole episode revolves around Hare's fear of getting pied when [=McNasty=] arrives in town. Everyone treats it as seriously as if it were real violence.
** In "The Mirth of a Nation," the Queen has lost her sense of humor and tries to have a serious garden party where no one has any fun. But then the Rabbit trips and accidentally flings a cream tart into the Queen's face. Everyone bursts out laughing, much to the Queen's outrage.
** In "Pizza de Resistance," the Hare accidentally knocks the slice of lemon meringue pie he and the Hatter brought for the Queen's pizza contest (ItMakesSenseInContext) into the Hatter's face.
* Subverted on ''Series/AllThat'' when the cast get a bunch of pies from the bakery. [[ButtMonkey Kevin]] expects they will throw the pies at him but is told they are not going to do that. The baker also made a cake for such a purpose.

* Creator/AntAndDec once had a show which, amongst much else, featured a slot called Pie of the Week in which [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin someone brought in a pie]]. In one episode, Dec read the cue-card and discovered that today's Pie of the Week was brought in by Ant.

* ''Series/AxMen'': Craig Rygaard reconciles with the crew and especially rehired rigger, Dave Schroeder, in a recent episode using some lemon meringue humble pie. At least Dave sees the humor in the pie.

** In the first CousinOliver episode, "Welcome Aboard".
** The pilot episode where Mike and Carol marry has the former saving their wedding cake from falling off the table...only to lose his balance and have it hit him in the face.
* A ''Series/CandidCamera'' gag involved a worker in a pie factory trying to keep up with a conveyor belt that kept increasing speed. When Allen Funt reveals it's all a CandidCameraPrank, he asks the victim what he intends to do with the pie he's still holding, clearly expecting this trope.

** Pies in the face might not have been as iconic as the gak or memorable as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bg-Ui2dki2s&t=16m17s pies in the pants]]. However physical challenges that required a contestant to get their face covered in whipped cream have been a part of the show's physical challenges [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crP1VLYeNXI&t=7m28s since day one.]] However, the one that takes the cake (no pun intended) was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPGPnAsYw50 the "Flying Trapeze"]] from the final season of ''Family Double Dare'', where a person was put on a platform being moved back and forth by his family and had to throw four pies at his teammate's face while she sat in front of him.
** This was not limited to the contestants. Sometimes, during the show's AdBumpers, when the camera zoomed in on the audience the operator would zero in on a particular person and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bwz1d5iA27M&t=9m37s smash a pie in the fan's face]]. Marc was also the occasional [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRbWpdRmwTw&t=4m47s target of pie pranks]] by Harvey, Robin, or other members of the crew.
** A subversion happened on the President's Day special when a contestant was told to make a pie by putting cherries on a plate, put a few handfuls of cream on it, and put it into his partner's face. Instead, with the clock nearing zero, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuZeomfCvno&t=9m6s he put the cherries in the big bowl of cream and smashed the whole thing in her face!]] (The judges declared this a rule violation, and the money went to the other team.
** On a handful of occasions, Marc and Harvey would have a gentleman's bet before the obstacle course began: The team got to pie Marc in the face if they got through all eight obstacles and if they lost, Harvey would get the pie instead.
* Creator/ErnieKovacs may be best remembered for the surreal visual gags of his TV shows, but that didn't mean he was above pieing an attractive woman to get a laugh. One such target was actress/singer Edie Adams, who would become the second Mrs. Kovacs. Ironically, Adams recalled a live appearance where Kovacs himself took a pie in the face - and was knocked out cold because the stagehand hadn't removed the pie from the metal pan first!
* Not surprisingly, pies were also heavily featured in The Family Channel's later ''Series/FamilyChallenge'', which was from the same producer (Woody Fraser).
* ''Series/TheFactsOfLife''. At the end of season one episode "Dieting," Sue Ann shoves Blair's face into a dish of rice pudding. It's a KarmicNod for Blair, because Sue Ann had gone on a crash diet and passed out because Blair had told her that a boy that she (Sue Ann) liked wouldn't like her back because of her weight.

** In "Lighthouse Loonies", Bill is driven nuts by the fact that everything in the lighthouse is round. Tim prepares a pie to cheer him up, which of course is also round so Bill grabs it with obvious intent. When he gets tired of chasing Tim round and round the lighthouse, Bill just turns and waits for Tim to run into it, then says calmly, "[[PercussiveTherapy I feel better now]]."
** In "The Movies", the Goodies take over the British film industry, but end up fighting each other over what type of movie to film. Bill prefers making silent movies, leading to his actors throwing pies at Graham's cowboys and Tim's centurions.
* ''Series/GrowingPains'', the "20th Anniversary" episode.
* ''Series/HappyDays'': In the episode where Chachi tries to join the Leopards. At one point Chachi & Roger are about to pie the next person who walks in. It's Fonzie. They take one look at him and pie each other instead. But in a BlooperReel gag, they get him.
* ''Series/HeadOfTheClass'', "Make Fun of the Teacher" episode.
* ''Series/HorribleHistories'': A sketch on Victorian manners in which almost everything a gentleman does results in him being slapped by a lady, ends with him shoving an apple pie in her face. (She ''did'' say "[[TemptingFate There is nothing improper about apple pie]]".)

* ''Kularb Neua Mek'': In the very first episode, [[WomanScorned Airin does this]] to her Anawin and Oranuch's little sister, Ornnich. With a Birthday Cake. ''His'' Birthday Cake meant for the SurpriseParty!
* On [[http://www.latenightwithjimmyfallon.com/video/rock-paper-scissors-pie-with-kelly-ripa-7-10-12/1409186 an episode]] of ''Series/LateNight'', Creator/JimmyFallon and Creator/KellyRipa played a game of rock, paper, scissors with a pie in the face as a penalty for losing.
* On a late episode of the original version of ''Series/LetsMakeADeal'', one of the {{Zonk}}s was an old pie wagon; after the reveal, [[LovelyAssistant Carol Merrill]] hit [[TheAnnouncer Jay Stewart]] with one of the pies.
* An episode of the current series of ''Series/LetsMakeADeal'' featured a large pie as a {{Zonk}}; when it was revealed, [[GameShowHost Wayne Brady]] went down to the pie and pulled a ''real'' one out from behind it, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ofhn7v6IM8 with which he hit]] [[TheAnnouncer Jonathan Mangum]]. At the end of the show, Mangum got his revenge, at which point a curtain opened revealing an entire rack of pies, resulting in a [[FoodFight pie fight]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srTg1_KSrIU among the entire cast]].
* ''Series/LoveAmericanStyle'', the episode with Susan Howard.
* ''Series/{{Maude}}'', where most of the cast -- including Creator/BeaArthur and Rue [=McClanahan=] -- gets into a big pie fight at the end of the episode "Musical '78."
* The newer version of ''Series/TheMickeyMouseClub'' had a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTHKP6BqwO0&feature=related sketch]] in which 13-year-old Music/ChristinaAguilera and Creator/RyanGosling both get a pie to the face.
* ''Series/ModernFamily'': Cam is woken up with a pie in the face as a result of taking Lily to a clown camp.
* Series/TheMonkees endured this when they appeared on ShowWithinAShow ''Captain Crocodile''.
* A ''Creator/MontyPython'' sketch at an Army recruiting office comes to a halt when the applicant complains that he hasn't got any funny lines. A couple of restarts later, the recruiting officer is dressed like a clown, pelting the applicant with a pie (after dumping a bucket of whitewash on him and dropping a large fish down his trousers.)
* ''Series/{{Moonlighting}}'': David ducks a missile, which scores a bull's-eye on Maddie. He glances at her face, turns to face their attackers, and lets out an uproarious laugh. One guess as to where the next missile lands.
* An episode of ''Series/NightCourt'' had a man being sued because he ran a business where he would take money to hit a target in the face with a pie, except he neglected to thaw one, and smashed a man's face with a frozen pie. Later in the episode, he gets [[TheFriendNobodyLikes Dan Fielding]] with a pie. Everyone wonders who paid the fee to throw the pie, and everyone [[IAmSpartacus taking credit for it]]. Then Dan reveals that it was all of them. They all paid to have a pie thrown at him. But [[GenreSavvy he'd anticipated them doing so]], and told the pie assailant [[MagnificentBastard that if he only hit him with one pie and forked over the extra cash to Dan for the rest, he wouldn't sue him.]].
* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': Mr. Conklin finds himself the victim of this trope a couple times.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhxaThZEGv4 A staple]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUriUgUE9Q4 of Brazilian game show]] ''Passa ou Repassa'' (at a certain point, a sound effect was added, making it even funnier).

And due to rotativity, eventually the first two return, allowing for either revenge or getting the opponent even dirtier. (The same SpeedRound was later used on ''Megamatch'' in Venezuela (rerun through out Latin America) and ''[[Series/FunHouse College Mad House]]'' in the USA. )
* ''Series/ThePattyDukeShow'', during a modeling photo shoot.
* At the end of the ''Series/PennAndTellerBullshit'' episode on manners, Penn (who spent most of the episode at a fancy dinner as part of the framing device - and acting like [[TheGadfly his usual self]] because he can) wraps up the episode just as a waiter arrives and serves cream pies to the dinner guests. Penn tells the audience that no social event is complete without pie and that we should try not to take ourselves too seriously, and on that note, everyone at the table pies themselves.
* ''Franchise/PowerRangers'':

** During one of Drew Carey's Showcases, the models hit each other with pies. Near the end of the narration, Rich Fields is hit with a pie, and at the end of the show, Drew himself is hit with a few by the models as well.

* In "Ludlow Laughs" on ''Series/ReadingRainbow'', Creator/LeVarBurton is given a "comedy makeover." The pie-in-the-face is part of his routine.
* ''Series/{{Route 66}}'', during an episode with Guest Star Creator/SoupySales.
* During an election episode of ''Series/SaluteYourShorts''.
* ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'':

* Many TalkShow hosts and guests have been pied. Sometimes by themselves.
* ''Series/ThatGirl'' in a ShowWithinAShow sequence.

Including a number of celebrities, mainly recording artists such as the Music/{{Pretenders}}, Adam Ant, Music/PhilCollins, and Annie Lennox (while still with The Tourists, pre-Eurythmics). One of the most memorable moments in the show's run had Sheena Easton covered from head to toe in shaving foam and multi-coloured slime -- perhaps she should have titled her hit song "For Your Pies Only"?

Sometimes, though, pieing was a prize or privilege. Most of the people who went down the Pie Slide did so willingly or because they wanted to. Also there were two episodes in the first season called "Pie-a-Thons" which pitted Kids vs. Adults, and being pied was a way to add "points" for your "team".
* Even an episode of ''Series/WheelOfFortune'', with Pat and Vanna pieing each other!
* ''Series/WildAndCrazyKids'':
** Once featuring the fire department.
** In an earlier episode (and season), an "organized" pie fight between camp kids and their counselors quickly spiraled into a free-for-all.

** At the end of "That's All, Jokes," the Queen uses this as RestrainedRevenge on all her subjects for the prank that was pulled on her, which no one will confess to.
** In "Pie Noon," this is the bully Mike [=McNasty=]'s specialty. The whole episode revolves around Hare's fear of getting pied when [=McNasty=] arrives in town. Everyone treats it as seriously as if it were real violence.
** In "The Mirth of a Nation," the Queen has lost her sense of humor and tries to have a serious garden party where no one has any fun. But then the Rabbit trips and accidentally flings a cream tart into the Queen's face. Everyone bursts out laughing, much to the Queen's outrage.
** In "Pizza de Resistance," the Hare accidentally knocks the slice of lemon meringue pie he and the Hatter brought for the Queen's pizza contest (ItMakesSenseInContext) into the Hatter's face.
* Subverted on ''Series/AllThat'' when the cast get a bunch of pies from the bakery. [[ButtMonkey Kevin]] expects they will throw the pies at him but is told they are not going to do that. The baker also made a cake for such a purpose.
* A Season 14 Detour on ''Series/TheAmazingRace'' had teams pelt each other in the face with pies until they found one with a cherry filling.
* Creator/AntAndDec once had a show which, amongst much else, featured a slot called Pie of the Week in which [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin someone brought in a pie]]. In one episode, Dec read the cue-card and discovered that today's Pie of the Week was brought in by Ant.
-->'''Dec:''' Alright, Ant, what is it?\\
'''Ant:''' It is... a custard pie!\\
'''Dec:''' Hold on, [[GenreSavvy this isn't going to be "Dec gets a custard pie in the face" is it?]]\\
'''Ant:''' Now, would I do [[DeadHorseTrope something as obvious as that?]]\\
'''Dec:''' No, of course not. Sorry.\\
'''Ant:''' Wrong again. *splat*
* ''Series/TheAvengers1960s'': An episode has a pair of murderous music-hall clowns with an arsenal of weapons that included a pie filled with fast-setting glue, which nearly asphyxiated a would-be victim.
* ''Series/AxMen'': Craig Rygaard reconciles with the crew and especially rehired rigger, Dave Schroeder, in a recent episode using some lemon meringue humble pie. At least Dave sees the humor in the pie.
* ''Series/TheBabySittersClub1990'', with a school carnival. [[ShrinkingViolet Mary Anne]] is next in line to dunk Mallory with said thrown pie...but then [[AlphaBitch Marci]] decides to rub in that she (thinks she's) got Logan to herself. [[TooDumbToLive She then finds out that Mary Anne has surprisingly good aim]].
* ''Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters'' has a misfired Practical Joke.
* ''Series/{{Bewitched}}'', during one of the Serena episodes, which included Creator/ElizabethMontgomery pieing herself from across the room.

* ''Series/TheBobNewhartShow'', as part of a practical joke Bob plans to play on Peeper.

* On ''Series/BoyMeetsWorld'', Eric hits Jack with one at the end of a food fight.
* ''Series/TheBradyBunch'':
** In the first CousinOliver episode, "Welcome Aboard".
** The pilot episode where Mike and Carol marry has the former saving their wedding cake from falling off the table...only to lose his balance and have it hit him in the face.
* A ''Series/CandidCamera'' gag involved a worker in a pie factory trying to keep up with a conveyor belt that kept increasing speed. When Allen Funt reveals it's all a CandidCameraPrank, he asks the victim what he intends to do with the pie he's still holding, clearly expecting this trope. However, the man resists the temptation to get his revenge.
* ''Captain and Tennille Show'', during Masterjoke Theater sketches, primarily.
* A [[Recap/CheersS5E9 Thanksgiving Day episode]] of ''Series/{{Cheers}}''. Notably, it's the first time Norm's wife Vera [[TheGhost ever appears on screen]], but it's after a pie has hit her, so the audience can't see her face.
* ''Series/{{Cybill}}'', wedding episode.
* A recurring theme on Creator/DickAndDom's shows, from ''Series/DickAndDomInDaBungalow'' (hosts splatting contestants, contestants splatting hosts, or giant free-for-all) to Splatalot (with "Splat" written on the bottom of the pie plate).
* ''Series/TheDickVanDykeShow'', due to one of Rob's many pratfalls.

* In one episode of the 1970s ''Series/DonnyAndMarie Show'', Marie delivered one to Donny in retaliation for his tying her ice skate laces together.

** Pies in the face might not have been as iconic as the gak or memorable as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bg-Ui2dki2s&t=16m17s pies in the pants]]. However physical challenges that required a contestant to get their face covered in whipped cream have been a part of the show's physical challenges [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crP1VLYeNXI&t=7m28s since day one.]] However, the one that takes the cake (no pun intended) was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPGPnAsYw50 the "Flying Trapeze"]] from the final season of ''Family Double Dare'', where a person was put on a platform being moved back and forth by his family and had to throw four pies at his teammate's face while she sat in front of him.
** This was not limited to the contestants. Sometimes, during the show's AdBumpers, when the camera zoomed in on the audience the operator would zero in on a particular person and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bwz1d5iA27M&t=9m37s smash a pie in the fan's face]]. Marc was also the occasional [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRbWpdRmwTw&t=4m47s target of pie pranks]] by Harvey, Robin, or other members of the crew.
** A subversion happened on the President's Day special when a contestant was told to make a pie by putting cherries on a plate, put a few handfuls of cream on it, and put it into his partner's face. Instead, with the clock nearing zero, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuZeomfCvno&t=9m6s he put the cherries in the big bowl of cream and smashed the whole thing in her face!]] (The judges declared this a rule violation, and the money went to the other team.
** On a handful of occasions, Marc and Harvey would have a gentleman's bet before the obstacle course began: The team got to pie Marc in the face if they got through all eight obstacles and if they lost, Harvey would get the pie instead.
* Creator/ErnieKovacs may be best remembered for the surreal visual gags of his TV shows, but that didn't mean he was above pieing an attractive woman to get a laugh. One such target was actress/singer Edie Adams, who would become the second Mrs. Kovacs. Ironically, Adams recalled a live appearance where Kovacs himself took a pie in the face - and was knocked out cold because the stagehand hadn't removed the pie from the metal pan first!
* Not surprisingly, pies were also heavily featured in The Family Channel's later ''Series/FamilyChallenge'', which was from the same producer (Woody Fraser).
* ''Series/TheFactsOfLife''. At the end of season one episode "Dieting," Sue Ann shoves Blair's face into a dish of rice pudding. It's a KarmicNod for Blair, because Sue Ann had gone on a crash diet and passed out because Blair had told her that a boy that she (Sue Ann) liked wouldn't like her back because of her weight.
* ''Series/FamilyMatters'', the episode "Stop In the Name of Love."
* On ''Series/FarOutSpaceNuts'', Chuck [=McCann=] gets one during the opening credits.
%%* ''Series/GilligansIsland'', episode "X Marks the Spot."
* ''Series/TheGoodWife'': "The One Percent" episode begins with a cream pie being prepared and then thrown in the face of a CEO by a protestor who pretended to be one of the catering staff at a board meeting.
* ''Series/TheGoodies''
** In "Lighthouse Loonies", Bill is driven nuts by the fact that everything in the lighthouse is round. Tim prepares a pie to cheer him up, which of course is also round so Bill grabs it with obvious intent. When he gets tired of chasing Tim round and round the lighthouse, Bill just turns and waits for Tim to run into it, then says calmly, "[[PercussiveTherapy I feel better now]]."
** In "The Movies", the Goodies take over the British film industry, but end up fighting each other over what type of movie to film. Bill prefers making silent movies, leading to his actors throwing pies at Graham's cowboys and Tim's centurions.
* ''Series/GrowingPains'', the "20th Anniversary" episode.
* ''Series/HappyDays'': In the episode where Chachi tries to join the Leopards. At one point Chachi & Roger are about to pie the next person who walks in. It's Fonzie. They take one look at him and pie each other instead. But in a BlooperReel gag, they get him.
* ''Series/HeadOfTheClass'', "Make Fun of the Teacher" episode.
* ''Series/HorribleHistories'': A sketch on Victorian manners in which almost everything a gentleman does results in him being slapped by a lady, ends with him shoving an apple pie in her face. (She ''did'' say "[[TemptingFate There is nothing improper about apple pie]]".)
* ''Series/ILoveLucy'' has a couple of pie episodes, including "The Diner."
* ''The Creator/JackieGleason Show'' at least twice.
* On ''Series/TheJerrySpringerShow'', any time a wedding cake is set up in the studio, you can guarantee that it's not going to get properly cut and eaten... it will end up in the face of the cheating fiancé.
* In "Make Someone Laugh," one of the original ''Series/JohnnyAndTheSprites'' shorts, Johnny tries pieing himself in order to get Basil, who's not feeling well, to laugh. It doesn't help.
* ''Kularb Neua Mek'': In the very first episode, [[WomanScorned Airin does this]] to her Anawin and Oranuch's little sister, Ornnich. With a Birthday Cake. ''His'' Birthday Cake meant for the SurpriseParty!
* On [[http://www.latenightwithjimmyfallon.com/video/rock-paper-scissors-pie-with-kelly-ripa-7-10-12/1409186 an episode]] of ''Series/LateNight'', Creator/JimmyFallon and Creator/KellyRipa played a game of rock, paper, scissors with a pie in the face as a penalty for losing.
* On a late episode of the original version of ''Series/LetsMakeADeal'', one of the {{Zonk}}s was an old pie wagon; after the reveal, [[LovelyAssistant Carol Merrill]] hit [[TheAnnouncer Jay Stewart]] with one of the pies.
* An episode of the current series of ''Series/LetsMakeADeal'' featured a large pie as a {{Zonk}}; when it was revealed, [[GameShowHost Wayne Brady]] went down to the pie and pulled a ''real'' one out from behind it, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ofhn7v6IM8 with which he hit]] [[TheAnnouncer Jonathan Mangum]]. At the end of the show, Mangum got his revenge, at which point a curtain opened revealing an entire rack of pies, resulting in a [[FoodFight pie fight]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srTg1_KSrIU among the entire cast]].
* ''Series/LoveAmericanStyle'', the episode with Susan Howard.
* ''Series/{{Maude}}'', where most of the cast -- including Creator/BeaArthur and Rue [=McClanahan=] -- gets into a big pie fight at the end of the episode "Musical '78."
* The newer version of ''Series/TheMickeyMouseClub'' had a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTHKP6BqwO0&feature=related sketch]] in which 13-year-old Music/ChristinaAguilera and Creator/RyanGosling both get a pie to the face.
* ''Series/ModernFamily'': Cam is woken up with a pie in the face as a result of taking Lily to a clown camp.
* Series/TheMonkees endured this when they appeared on ShowWithinAShow ''Captain Crocodile''.
* A ''Creator/MontyPython'' sketch at an Army recruiting office comes to a halt when the applicant complains that he hasn't got any funny lines. A couple of restarts later, the recruiting officer is dressed like a clown, pelting the applicant with a pie (after dumping a bucket of whitewash on him and dropping a large fish down his trousers.)
* ''Series/{{Moonlighting}}'': David ducks a missile, which scores a bull's-eye on Maddie. He glances at her face, turns to face their attackers, and lets out an uproarious laugh. One guess as to where the next missile lands.
* An episode of ''Series/NightCourt'' had a man being sued because he ran a business where he would take money to hit a target in the face with a pie, except he neglected to thaw one, and smashed a man's face with a frozen pie. Later in the episode, he gets [[TheFriendNobodyLikes Dan Fielding]] with a pie. Everyone wonders who paid the fee to throw the pie, and everyone [[IAmSpartacus taking credit for it]]. Then Dan reveals that it was all of them. They all paid to have a pie thrown at him. But [[GenreSavvy he'd anticipated them doing so]], and told the pie assailant [[MagnificentBastard that if he only hit him with one pie and forked over the extra cash to Dan for the rest, he wouldn't sue him.]].
* ''Radio/OurMissBrooks'': Mr. Conklin finds himself the victim of this trope a couple times.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhxaThZEGv4 A staple]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUriUgUE9Q4 of Brazilian game show]] ''Passa ou Repassa'' (at a certain point, a sound effect was added, making it even funnier). Two contestants put against each other answering a question. Get right, pie the other one. Get wrong, pie in your face. Then come the next two of the team. And due to rotativity, eventually the first two return, allowing for either revenge or getting the opponent even dirtier. (The same SpeedRound was later used on ''Megamatch'' in Venezuela (rerun through out Latin America) and ''[[Series/FunHouse College Mad House]]'' in the USA. )
* ''Series/ThePattyDukeShow'', during a modeling photo shoot.
* At the end of the ''Series/PennAndTellerBullshit'' episode on manners, Penn (who spent most of the episode at a fancy dinner as part of the framing device - and acting like [[TheGadfly his usual self]] because he can) wraps up the episode just as a waiter arrives and serves cream pies to the dinner guests. Penn tells the audience that no social event is complete without pie and that we should try not to take ourselves too seriously, and on that note, everyone at the table pies themselves.
* ''Franchise/PowerRangers'':
** [[ThoseTwoGuys Bulk and Skull]] on ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' frequently received these (well, typically it was {{ca|rryingACake}}kes, but the principle is the same).
** And in ''Series/PowerRangersZeo'', the Rangers once defeat a group of [[MechaMooks Cogs]] by pieing them. (Leading [[BigBad King Mondo]] to go into a SurroundedByIdiots rant, and you can't blame him.)
* On ''Series/PressYourLuck'', one of the Whammy animations has "Tammy Whammette" singing "It's good to have your money back again" as her guitar player takes a pie in the face. Another has a Mayoral candidate getting a pie in the face after announcing "If elected, I will raise your taxes!"
