* ''Literature/TheBerenstainBearsBigChapterBooks'': In ''The Berenstain Bears and the Giddy Grandma'', Gran tells Sister about how Gramps and a clown performer named Roscoe fought a DuelToTheDeath over her... with cream pies. Gramps ended up with one smack in the face, since Roscoe's clown experience made him an expert pie-thrower. Later on, in the book's finale, Gramps ends up crashing Gran's performance at the adults-only talent show, riding a unicycle in a clown outfit of his own, and it culminates with he and Gran each throwing a cream pie at one another and then falling to the ground, each happily kissing their spouse's pie-covered face.

* ''Literature/OctoberDaye'': At one point during ''Chimes at Midnight'', the False Queen has one of her men hit Toby in the face with a pie made from goblin fruit - which is dangerously addictive to changelings and humans - in an attempt to undermine Toby's credibility as a threat to her power.

* ''VideoGame/DragonAgeInquisition'': If you agree to play pranks with Sera in the ''Trespasser'' DLC, what follows is a ''montage'' of the two of you gleefully pieing random people - and then each other.
