Editing You Can't Do That on Television (section)

=== Pies ===
The original slapstick [[Pieing|pie-in-the-face]] gag was also frequently used on ''YCDTOTV'', although pie scenes were most common during the early years of the show. One whole episode, 1981's ''Drugs'', was constructed completely around the pie-in-the-face gag. To avoid the wrath of the censors, the episode showed the cast getting "high" by pieing themselves continuously, comparing the stupidity of hitting oneself with a pie to that of taking drugs. Unlike the slime and water, pies were not usually triggered by any certain word or trigger phrase, although in the earlier years, saying "let me have it" or "give it to me" would frequently result in a pieing.
