It all started when I was a kid. Nickelodeon, Saturday morning cartoons, game shows like What Would You Do—and the golden rule of kids’ TV: someone, somewhere, was going to get slimed, pied, or both.
I couldn’t tell you why it stuck (no pun intended), but watching people get covered in pies, cakes, slime, or even hit with a seltzer blast was absolutely satisfying. It was chaotic, colorful, goofy—and honestly, kind of magical.
As I got older, I realized I wasn’t alone. There’s a whole tribe of weirdos like me who adore seeing someone get a cream pie to the face, a big sheet cake smashed in their face, or a dramatic slime dump from above right in the middle of a sentence.
Even stuff like egging, tar and feathering, or just full-blown cartoon mayhem? Yes please. There's something deeply nostalgic and oddly satisfying about the ritual of it all.
And let’s be real—a lot of people get that little spark when they see it, too. Half the people who secretly enjoy watching this kind of derpy slapstick chaos will never admit it. But I know. We know. You loved when that pie hit.
Folf is the butt of the joke.

Comedic timing, meet creamy timing.
I love it all: pies in the face, cakes launched like soft artillery, surprise seltzer attacks, absurd buckets of slime, and even over-the-top things like egging or fake cartoon-style tar and feathering. It’s silly. It’s timeless. It’s joy.
Yes, I have and do do this shit in real life with like-minded friends.
