Improv Everywhere


These guys are hilarious. If you don't want to read it (it's long) scroll down and there are some videos of the event.

I must be getting old, because all I can think of is what a nice cleansing of the gene pool opportunity was missed by not calling in a surgical strike on the HD building during this 'event'. Sure there would have been innocents lost...

Awesome, yea they do a lot of funny stuff. Some of it's stupid some of it's pretty darn creative.

I first heard of them on "This American Life" Episode 286.

They tell a story on that show of an "event" that isn't on their website. It takes place at a Starbucks, and I think it's the funniest one.

Guess I'm not following you - you have a problem with the HD employees or the IE "agents"? The IE team likes to do silly things to shake people out of their same ol', same ol' and the HD employees didn't seem too aberrant in their reactions to something weird happening in their stores ...

Just seems a little harsh to wish death to everyone in the store for that stunt...
