Talk:Edith's 50th Birthday/@comment-24158129-20131115170014

I'm not sure I'd call this a "lost episode" creepypasta, since it actually WAS an AITF episode...and one of its best, too, one that was shown in rape crisis centers.

I believe (having seen it several times) that the studio audience's laughter was more nervous release than anything else. David Dukes, the actor who played the rapist, said that at first he got a vibe off the audience that they expected it to be played for laughs. But as soon as he violently shoved Edith onto the sofa, the whole mood changed...he felt real HATRED toward him from the audience. He apparently got hate mail afterward...and my mother used to say that she could never watch him in anything else afterwards.

But listen to the audience when Edith shoves the burned cake into his face, knees him, and runs. That was the longest moment of cheering and applause there ever was on AITF.

Now, if this article claimed that there was lost footage where the audience became a hate-crazed mob, rushed the stage, and beat David Dukes within an inch of his life, THAT might be closer to a traditional creepypasta... :-)
