I seem to remember a thread awhile back that mentioned Louise getting pied by her sisters in a prerecorded slapstick skit on one of her live performances many years ago. It was something about her wanting to be in the "middle". Dont quite remember but i found this the other day, check out the two minute mark. Im not a big fan of eggs but i never knew this scene existed and shes in the middle getting it from both sides. Maybe the lost pie scene is out there as well. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q4bc0JthfM
So weird, I was randomly looking for this scene just the other day but never spotted this! Shame there's only a brief bit from the full taped segment.
In theory, the entire segment SHOULD be out there somewhere, since it was pre-recorded and shown in the show every night, but in reality it's tricky tracking down stuff from the early 90s that never got a commercial release.
She was pied with her sister during one of those skits, a fairly known WAM moment, should be on youtube (search for Barbara being the target, but Louise also took one)

Not on the show.... all those clips have been circulating for decades. (My own copy of the clip you mention was recorded on VHS after I checked reruns every day for nearly a year!)
This was a special clip made in-house specifically for Louise Mandrell's show in Branson. SO the only way to have viewed it would've been to buy a ticket to that show run in the early 90s.
NormanMabeld Is our one member who's come forward to say he actually saw this video presented at a mostly live Louise Mandrell stage show in the 90s (this pre-recorded clip was an easy way for Louise's two sisters to appear in her show without having to actually be there). Hopefully Norman will see this thread and be able to confirm or deny if this looks like the aftermath of what he saw. Norman recounted that Barbara and Irlene hit Louise with "a bunch of pies," while this coverage looks minimal -- and only two tins are visible -- but maybe the photo was staged and taken well after the big pieing and Loise had cleaned herself up quite a bit? (I know, I know, wishful thinking.)
Based on the info Norman and others shared, the video was prerecorded beforehand, and shown in every Louise Mandrell show from that '90s era. (It allowed her to do a costume change backstage.) The quick clips from that "prank" video above match that picture.... Same wardrobe for all three Mandrells. So I would assume the video Norman saw is this exact same one.
It would be nice if the entire video surfaced, rather than just 1-second excerpts, but I've looked around online off-and-on for a while and never spotted anything.
I agree that doesnt look like much of an aftermath but they were notorious for buckets of water too. Maybe they came after the pies which is also why it looks like its drippy. I know Im totally reaching BUT it is Louise Mandrell.
You know, the scene from the tv show never did much for me because of their frumpy costumes. But I forgot how pie-worthy Louise was! A shame she didn't get it in a sexier outfit !!!
