Masterpie Theater

Parts:

Narrator: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Masterpie Theater. The following will be a demonstration on the comedic impact of one of the greatest comic devices of all time, the classic pie in the face. At this point, I would like to ask my three assistants to join me here on the stage to give you a visual picture of the many methods of pie throwing.

The art of pie-throwing was initiated into the comedic world by the infamous Samy "White Shoes" Johnson and his band of traveling clowns. However, the sport changed greatly over the years, and today, we have developed many new and exciting techniques of pie throwing. But before we start with the tricky stuff, let us demonstrate the classic, the Straight Shot.

(Pat hits Sam) - Sorry for taking no picture - we were caught by surprise :-)

Quickly the art was revolutionized with the addition of the Wraparound Shot in 1933.

(BJ taps Pat on the shoulder, he looks at BJ, Sam wraps around and hits Pat) - Sorry for taking no picture - we didn't recover yet ;-)

Several of the early pie throwers attempted to use fast motions to increase the comedic impact, the most successful of which was the Windup Shot.

(Sam steps forward and hits BJ) - Camera was booting....

Now, we realize that the last shot was a bit faster than the human eye can handle, so we will repeat it, using the last technology in pie throwing contests, the super slomo camera.

(Sam steps forward and hits BJ in super slomo adding several additional moves not shown) - Sorry, we did not have a super slomo camera!!!

The emergence of basketball as a premier sport in this country has added a few more techniques related to the sport. First, the slam dunk.

(We present: The Slam Dunk!)
