Is smashing someone's face in a cake funny to you?

[happywife]

?

Why the fuck do people do this? Smash my face in a cake and see what happens.

[TrickyBob]

Before I started in my position, the last woman who was there did it to her boss. I was horrified when my co worker told me. Who, over the age of 10, does that??

[puppyluv]

Only maybe in the very best situation among friends who are all inebriated could there be a chance that it would possibly be funny. In most cases it’s awkward as hell and should be avoided.

[bears]

Are you talking about the shit that happens at weddings? I told MH I would divorce him if he pulled that shit at our reception.

[nextbigthing]

Not funny. I can't believe when people do this

[ally]

Never funny, certainly not at a wedding.  DH knew we would have the shortest marriage ever - I trusted him not to do it, but some of his friends would have thought it was a good idea. 

[gummybear]

No. Not at all. At BILs wedding the bride did it, unexpectedly and with force. He got cake and icing all in his contacts. It was such a trashy thing to do. They are divorced now.

[iamgrace]

No I don’t find it funny at all.

I keep coming back to this! I need to know how this transpired. Like with an office birthday cake? Send off party? Was it with malice?

[raangoli]

It’s a waste of perfectly good cake.

[knx9211]

NO I mean do you have any idea how long it took to get my makeup done on my wedding day?

This is only cute and funny when a 1 year old does it to themselves on their birthday.

I posted this story in a random thread after it happened a little over a year ago.

We were out celebrating both of my kids birthdays at a hibachi restaurant. I’m at one of the corners of the table, with another family celebrating a birthday at the table directly next to us. Just after their food is served, I see someone run up the sidewalk and into the front door of the restaurant. A woman at the table next to us jumps up and runs out the back as the man coming through the front door runs straight to the table, throws a pie in the face of the man next to me and then runs back out. The man with the pie in his face looked to be 70ish. He falls backwards out of his seat, hitting his head. He breaks his glasses. His wife is hysterical. As he fell, plates and glasses went flying with him. He’s on the ground, covered in food, with broken dishes all around him. His family helps him slowly get up, waitstaff helps clean him up. When everything calms down, he leans over to me and apologizes “I’m so sorry we made such a disturbance, I hope we didn’t ruin your celebration.” I say, “Oh no sir, we’re fine, I just hope you are alright, too!” Then he explains that the woman who jumped and ran from his table just before the pie was thrown was his daughter in-law. He said it was the THIRD year in a row that she arranged to have a pie thrown at him at his birthday dinner. I told him he needed to stop letting her know the details of where and when they would be celebrating.

That bitch never came back to the table that night, she was out of there. It was not a “ha ha, she did it again” moment for the family, it wrecked their whole night. You could tell they were all in foul moods after that and got out of there quickly. I still think the DIL must have some pretty deep passive aggressive issues. It was horrible.

[cleo29]

no. and if done in front of a crowd, it would be embarrassing.

Holy crap!!

I didn’t even know this was a thing, outside of one year old cake smashes and wedding cake. And yeah, we’d have gotten an annulment if H pulled that shit on my $150 wedding day makeup.

[snapoutofit]

It’s never funny. I don’t like practical jokes in general.

[nicanmatt]

UGH! I remember my brand new MIL pulling me aside at the reception with a sense of urgency and dread... She wanted to tell me not to do a cake smash. I was slightly offended she would think I'd do that! And ruin my dress/makeup/hair and WASTE cake??? Ummm, no way! I love my cake too much.

Other then weddings and 1st birthday cake smashes-I never knew people did that sort of thing.

[VillainV]

My work does a “pie in the face” thing at our annual picnic to raise money. Like you pay money to nominate someone for a pie in the face, or you can buy your way out of a pie in the face if you’ve been nominated. I’ve always skip the picnic because I hate that we do this. I mean, we are professional adults, and I can think of much better ways to raise money.

[CurlyQ284]

I don't think it's funny either.
DHs family does a pie in the face at birthday celebrations. They've never done it to me but ILs and some cousins have had a pie in the face and every time I just do not get it. My parents were visiting during one of these and were horrified.

This is one of the strangest things I’ve heard of.

Cake smashers are also the prankers and the practical jokers of the world. They should all be eliminated.

[venice2007]

Nope never funny. Not as joke, not at parties, not at weddings. Neve funny. I hate when anyone does this

Same.

[minerswife17]

I believe it was the night DH proposed to me and the shock was starting to come down a bit I stopped looking at my ring for a second and said "don't even try to smash cake in my face on our wedding day." He knew I was serious and he promised me that he wouldn't.

We even had 3 different people come up to us after the reception and tell us they were happy we didn't smash cake in each other's faces. They all went to ones that summer and the couples did that and they complained about how tacky it was.

ETA: I just remembered... when DH fed me the cake he accidently got a little bit of icing on my lip and he was so sweet and grabbed a napkin and cleaned it up for me so I wouldn't mess up my makeup. A month later when we got our pictures from the photographer she had snapped a pic of him cleaning my face and I didn't even know. Oddly enough it's one of my favorite pictures from our wedding.

[Shreddingbetty]

Nope 👎

[melmel48]

No. This is not funny in any way. I would be so angry if this happened to me. 

[sapphireblue]

No.

So stupid and tacky. Just rude.

The woman was early 20's and pretty immature still. It was the boss's birthday and she walked up to him and smashed a plate full in his face and then told everyone how funny it was. No ill will but she pissed him off pretty well.

[rosiebear]

it seems like when I was a kid, almost every bride and groom smashed cake and I always thought it was horrible (I also hated the groom removing the garter, but that’s a different discussion). Now I never see it, thank god. I’m glad it’s out of favor.

[Aquatica]

Never funny. Evan as kids, we were just happy to have a cake for our birthday which a grandma homemade from scratch.

[Deleted]

No. I don’t even think it’s funny or cute for 1 year olds.
