Would it change things if no electric shock but instead was thrown cream pie?

The Milgram Experiment is, in the early 1960s, a series of social psychology experiments that were conducted by Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram, who intended to measure the willingness of study participants to obey an authority figure who instructed them to perform acts conflicting with their personal conscience. Participants were led to believe that they were assisting in a fictitious experiment, in which they had to administer electric shocks to a "learner". These fake electric shocks gradually increased to levels that would have been fatal had they been real.

Yes, but all the results of the experiment would be invalid, because everyone was just clowning around.
