custard pies
Slapstick throwing ammunition
Custard pies are open-faced pies with a baked filling of eggs, milk, and sugar—a simple dessert.
In slapstick comedy, a custard pie is the prop thrown at someone's face for laughs: The scene ended with the villain taking a custard pie.
The comedy version typically uses whipped cream or shaving foam rather than actual custard.
