In this scene, we see four of our lovely ladies taking turns looking right at you and demanding they be pied with an enthusiastic, "Pie me!" This of course, causes them to be the targets of baked crust cool whip filled pies. Each gal gets five of them thrown directly into their pretty faces. These creamy pastries are hurled with force, absolutely walloping all four of these women! After all the girls get it good, The Wife comes back on set stating that since everyone got pied, they must be done for the day! But as it turns out... not quite.

How did you prepare the cool whip?
For the cool whip itself, we have to let it thaw in the fridge for a day or two, and then about two hours before a shoot, it sits at room temp with the lid still closed.

Good to know! I'm looking for new pie recipes but I'm afraid to use cool whip after having wasted a session over a decade ago, lol. Nothing worse than an amazing build-up only to have a bed full of pies that don't stick. Pretty sure I was legit traumatized by that experience.
There was Grey Goose and a vinyl nurse's outfit involved. I still get sad when I think about it.
The Man and The Wife said: I mean, you'll just have to try again? lol
Thank you for the answer!
I've had good and bad results with Cool Whip, following your general directions.
There must be some variable I'm missing, but I'm always looking to try again!
Hey man! We JUST shot a pie barrage scene today with Bree as the target, and used 30 cool whip pies with various fillings. We did the exact same process I mentioned in the previous comment and got awesome results still. There has GOT to be a variable somewhere if you're having difficulty, which that stinks if you are!
Damn! This is perfect. I love the repetition of the line before each pie and the time allowed for a reaction after each one. And no-tin cool whip pies, thrown hard? Amazing. And pretty, willing ladies, with colorful backdrops, and good lighting? Bravo!

We sincerely appreciate you pointing out everything you mentioned in your comment!!!
[SPOILER: I don't think I have anything to do with your very accurate aim, actually. That must be instinctive!]
So any problems with broken crusts? I've come to the sober realization that the more you spend on frozen crusts, the less chance of breaking. Love the cost of those Wal-Mart 2-for-$1.99 packs, but they've got a high rate of breakage.
For Cool Whip, I actually use different generic brands.... AND to make matters weirder, they all get "soft" at different rates too. I tend to keep them in the fridge (no freezer, no thawing) and leave a good amount of tubs out overnight, and then the rest a couple hours before using. From there I can mix them together if one tub is too hard or too runny.
TBH some of these generic brands can stay out indefinitely. Regular Food Lion brand never gets soupy or runny even after 10+ hours unrefrigerated. But the "Lite" version will in half that time. Again, mix-and-match really helps.

We honest to goodness have had great luck with the Great Value brand crusts. VERY few breaks.
While I create every bucket of slime, The Wife creates every single pie. So I asked her what her special instructions are for crusts.
Per The Wife:
- Take 6 crusts out at a time - Let them sit for 15 minutes before oven baking - About 5 minutes before oven baking, she stabs holes in the crust randomly with a fork - Bake them in for 8 minutes (3 crusts on top rack, 3 on bottom) - Take them out and let them sit for at least an hour before she CAREFULLY flips them out of their tin
Per The Wife:
- She has not noticed a huge difference in thaw times of cool whip in terms of store brand vs name brand or regular vs lite. - Cool whip is stored in the fridge and taken out two hours before creating pies for a shoot.

I don't blame you, I do too! In fact, now that you mention it, I really should get some footage of her making pies for our now mandatory 'post credit' reels that we've added in new downloads for a while now. Good thinking Mr. chap!
