Sure, pie is delicious, and that’s really all it ever needs to be…but sometimes pie goes above and beyond, supplying us with delicious inspirational gems. Just look at these sweet GIFs from your favorite pie-loving TV shows and movies.
Pushing Daisies – “Window Dressed to Kill”
Pushing Daisies delivered consistent epic pie wins, but Lee Pace eating his own pie? WINSPLOSION. It’s like self-realization in pie form! You do you. That’s what it’s all about.
Spider-Man 3
This GIF warns us to beware of the adorable pie-eating super villains in our lives, even if gettin’ with them would be sooo good.
The X-Files – “Jose Chung’s From Outer Space”
Mulder’s complete lack in hesitation to ask the hard questions drives us to want to believe…in ourselves.
The Office – “Work Bus”
Thank you, Kevin. Now we know it’s OK to go after what you want, even if it is a pie in the face.
Brave
The hilarious red-headed trifecta’s deft pie theft inspires us to think outside the box when it comes to achieving our goals.
Modern Family – “Yard Sale”
Cam, in this GIF, reminds us that sometimes we need to be vulnerable in order to grow as people.
Supernatural – “Girl Next Door”
This is mostly just a sex pie GIF. Errrrr….
Snow White
This vintage GIF endorses the importance of friendship, teamwork, and attention to detail.
Friends – “The One with the Birth Mother”
Joey was “Sorry I’m not sorry” before it was cool. Joe represents a gentler spirit that we all should strive toward. So when Joey devours a chocolate torte (it’s a kind of pie) and reasserts that “Joey doesn’t share food,” he reminds us to stick to our personal tenets. Don’t forget who you are and what you want.
American Pie
This is the GIF of sexual awakening. It is the quintessential moment of the quintessential high school movie. This GIF also makes us realize that somewhere deep inside of us is a seventeen-year-old who just wants to, in some way, get laid (reach our potential) before it is too late, before the metaphorical prom (death). It is a GIF that reminds us of our mortality. So, seize the day, and get you some warm apple pie.
The pie box from Supernatural’s “Girl Next Door” was from Chicago’s “Hoosier Mama Pie Co.” Friends own the store and their friends were completely geeking out that the set designer asked for one of their boxes.
