PIEING


Pieing, or flanning, is the act of throwing a pie, usually a custard pie, at a person, usually as an act of slapstick comedy or as an act of protest.

It originated in the circus with clowns often pieing and being pied. Pieing then moved to Hollywood. The 1909 comedy silent film, Mr Flip, was the first film to show a pie pushed in someone’s face, the face of the actor Ben Turpin. The 1913 film, A Noise from the Deep, was the first film to show a pie being thrown into someone’s face – the actress Mabel Normand threw a pie into Fatty Arbuckle’s face.

Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy threw 3,000 pies in their 1927 The Battle of the Century film. Tiswas, the UK ’s television show of the 1970s and 1980s, regularly featured the Phantom Flan Flinger. The village of Coxheath in Kent, England holds the annual World Custard Pie Throwing Championships.

It is believed the first person to use pieing as an act of protest was the American journalist, Tom Forcade; in 1970, he pied the Chairman of the President’s Commission on Obscenity and Pornography. Andy Warhol, Bill Gates, Karl Lagerfeld, Kenny Rogers and, quite recently, Rupert Murdoch have all been pied in public. Jonathan May-Bowles was imprisoned for pieing Rupert Murdoch during a parliamentary investigation of phone-hacking.

Have you ever pied someone or been pied by someone?
Is pieing a reasonable act political protest?
Who else loved Laurel and Hardy?

PS I couldn’t find a photo of a custard pie so a photo of a cream pie being made will have to do instead - please accept my sincere apologies!

Laurel and Hardy's last public appearance together was on the BBC in 1955. They still make me laugh lots.

 Have you ever pied someone or been pied by someone? Yes but just whipped cream piled high on a pie tin.

Is pieing a reasonable act political protest? No

Who else loved Laurel and Hardy? LOVE EM. Used to love to go to the Pizza parlor as a kid and watch silent movies being shown while downing pizza. Keystone cops, Charley Chaplin, Buster Keaton, they were all great.
