Hurley used to keep a list of these. Given the internet and DVRs and our ever-vigilant community, most of these are older clips.

His "Holy Grail" was finally found, the Virginia Slims cigarette commercial where a half dozen beautiful models got pied hard.

I have two: the Dating Game clip that appears as a "partial" on one of Hurley's tapes. A really pretty bachelorette had the bachelors pie themselves if they didn't answer a question the way she liked. At the end, one of the losing contestants came out and nailed her. This was a great clip because she was gorgeous and she really did not want to be pied. It was probably all staged, but she sold it well. The clip that survives rolled through the VCR late and catches her already pied. Would dearly love to see the clean shots of this girl and the actual hit.

The other one was a skit from the short-lived "Wacky World of Jonathan Winters" TV show. The premise was "bitchy" people got rewarded with a pie in the face. Two I remember were a gorgeous blonde who said "I never kiss after the first date" and an equally gorgeous waitress who said something about bad service. This show appeared briefly in the late 60s.

anyway...just put this out there in case anyone has other "lost" hits they remember...

thanks

Good post Fredsout. I saw that Jonathan Winters scene as a 9-11 year old kid. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Lots of people, as you say, attractive women getting pied. I'd love to see it again.

I think Hurley tried to contact Winters to see if he had a copy of that show. Hurley also contacted Steve Allen about a pie scene in the early to mid '60s in B & W involving Playboy Bunnies. Allen actually replied to Hurley, but unfortunately didn't have many tapes from shows from that era.

This is indeed always an interesting topic, though I can't say that I have a favorite "lost" mainstream pie scene--since I haven't seen it yet!

However, a select few that went from "lost" to "found" are among my favorite clips now (thanks largely to Hurley Coward, but also to youtube). The "Love and the Baker's Dozen" pie fight finale, where Susan Howard and Laraine Stephens (though, alas, not Susan Oliver) get pied VERY nicely, comes immediately to mind. The Judy Landers pieing on "Madame's Place" is another one--it's short, but very sweet. "The Captain & Tennille" clip was another long-lost one that was fantastic to finally see. I liked the long-lost Virginia Slims ad as well, but was ever so slightly disappointed when I finally saw it--perhaps due to unreasonable expectations?

Perhaps my favorite of these, though, is the amazing "Ring Around The Collar" pie in the face blackout sketch on The Johnny Carson Show, which is really hard to beat for the quality of the pie, the "comeuppance" element, and the PERFECT way that this completely unknown bit actress plays up the humiliation of getting completely plastered with a cream pie at a formal dress soiree by standing stock-still while the pie crust oozes deliciously off of her face and the party goes on around her.

Based on stills that I've seen (but not in a very long time--does anyone have these?) , one that I'd most like to find is the Charo "Shakespeare" skit pie in the face from "Sonny and Cher"---something about the Elizabethan-era dress and what appears to be the VERY solid pieing that Charo takes has kept this up around the top of my own list for many years.

Both the Steve Allen Playboy Bunnies pie fight and "The Wacky World of Jonathan Winters" pieings definitely sound intriguing. I hold out little hope that the Steve Allen clip will ever be found, but there seems more of a likelyhood that the Jonathan Winters one may eventually turn up. For the record, at least 8 of the 26 episodes of this series (which ran from 1972 through 1974, and seems to have been cancelled early in the second season) do exist on some of the "grey market" DVD sites out there--has anyone here ever checked these out?

Again, always a great topic--I'd love to hear about more "long lost" clips from others!

I think of lots of lost WAM...One example was a run of early 70s TV adds for incense sticks. They would approach people (Women half the time) with a burning incense and ask What flavor of **** ** brand incense is this? They would have some wrong answer like 'Lavender'? and the reply from off camera would be "No...It's chocolate." Then the interviewee would get hit with a well thrown chocolate cream pie.

The only two spots I remember specifically were women. One was a very confident girl who proclaimed "You can't fool me. It's lemon!" No...it's banana.

And the other was a woman inside a Hot box, which is a personal sauna people used to sit inside with only their head sticking out of the top while the rest of their body sweated on the inside. That pie hit was seared into my 4 year old brain. She had a towel on her head. There was no way to block or wipe with her hands being stuck in that stupid machine. She got OWNED and said nothing as the pie oozed down her face.

Another lost gem was an add for a summer show running against Tails of the gold monkey. Just Man/Woman in the street interviews. Would you like to watch re-runs of Gold monkey,..or get a pie in the face? "The pie." was everybody's answer.

In the early 80s when cable TV channels had to fill up time, the "Making of The Toy" feature was played several times. The pie fight scenes on it are much better than what ended up in the movie, plus there is a interview with the bodacious Teresa Ganzel covered in pie afterwards. I didn't have a VCR then. Earlier versions of the DVD of "The Toy" (Jackie Gleason/Richard Pryor) had no special features. I see a version now has "Bonus Trailers," so maybe I'll invest the $7.

"Bonus trailers" just means trailers for other movies.

Both times Philippa Forrester got pied. The footage actually does exist, so it's not technically "lost", but neither are in circulation.

I remember that Charo once pied herself on the Captain and Tennille show, during their reccurring MasterJoke Theater sketch. It was always a male guest who pied themselves at the end of the bit. Charo (bless her heart), was the first and only woman to ever pie herself. I wouldn't mind seeing that scene again.

Esther Ranzen pied by clowns on "Thats life"

Piemyface2

I remember that too, the lead up that week on ABC had Annette pieing herself and when it aired that Monday night it was David Soul from Starksky and Hutch doing it for the second time. What a disappointment!!!

Funny the things you remember in life

Lenny

Hurley swore to Jeebus that Ann Margaret was the victim of a great tv pieing. Would love for that to see the light of day.

I haven't seen either of those! What TV show were they on? Were they any good?
