In der englischsprachigen Wikipedia wird man über das Stichwort "Pie-throwing" automatisch auf den Begriff "Pie" umgeleitet. Dort erwartet Dich eine schöne Erdbeer-Rhabarber-Torte. Und wenn Du dann ans Ende scrollst, gibt es folgende Hinweise auf die Rolle der Torte in der populären Kultur:
Pies are favorite props for humor, particularly when aimed at the pompous. Throwing a pie in a person's face has been a staple of film comedy since the early days of the medium, and real life pranksters have taken to targeting celebrities with their pies (often called "pieing").
Pie is regularly referenced in many contexts, often to inexplicably humorous ends. Pie itself may be an inherently funny word, or it may be that it is the thought of actual pie which adds humor to a situation. In any case, the following are but a few of the innumerable pop culture references to pie that could be listed.
* Garrison Keillor's radio show A Prairie Home Companion regularly thanks a fictional sponsor named Beebopareebop Rhubarb Pie, which supposedly sells frozen rhubarb pies.
* In internet culture, references to pie have been popularized by the flash cartoon Weebl and Bob, which features catch phrases such as "want pie now", "me like pie", "mmmm pie", and "there is no honour without pie."
* In the movie American Pie, the pie appears as a prop gag of sorts. A young man, eager to know what sexual intercourse feels like, experiments on the family's apple pie in lieu of a human partner (though this is depicted explicitly only in the unrated version). cf. the liver episode in Portnoy's Complaint.
