If you did celebrate the American Thanksgiving holiday with a Thanksgiving Turkey Pie Drop, then give yourself a nice pat on the back. If you didn’t, you don’t deserve the whipped cream on your pumpkin pie.

Created by Utah Aerials, the Thanksgiving Turkey Pie Drop consisted of a flying turkey robot that dropped pies on unsuspecting passersby. Check out the video above for all the action. I think what I appreciate most about this hilarious adventure is the bulls-eye painted on the bald head of one of the creators.
