Slo-mo customers raid a Home Depot

http://www.improveverywhere.com/miss...?mission_id=59

Saw this at another site, and thought it was silly/funny enough to bring it here.

I have to admit, some of these things are pretty hiliarious (check out the Best Buy one, some of them really did look like they were a Best Buy employee lol), and since I work in a Home Depot, I would've probably cracked up at seeing lots of people do this.

I don't think I'd be able to take part though, cause I don't think I could keep a straight face (maybe during the slo-mo, but no way during the frozen part, I'd have to break character and bust out laughing at the sheer silliness of what I'm doing).

However, I would've loved to have suggested things for them to do. For example, have two of them break into a "fight", and freeze as one guy "hits" another in the groin area, with appropiate reaction from the guy getting hit.

Another silly thing I would've suggested was a Three Stooges routine, where one guy is about to poke another guy's eyes with two fingers. The guy about to get hit would "counter" with his hand in front of his face to stop the eye poke.

Or having another two fight with sticks or something, and then as their "weapons" are locked during the "frozen" time, have a third guy hold up little balloons up to them, as if they were speaking like in a comic book (I was thinking of the scene in the Simpsons when Lenny and Carl were fighting with rods that looked kind of like lightsabers. "I say Phantom Menace sucked more!" while another could say "Well I say Attack of the Clones sucked more!") To add more silliness, have the third guy either out of the picture, his back turned, or hidden behind a box or something so it seems as if the two guys fighting are part of a comic book

What other silly things would you like to see them do, if they haven't already done it that is? While this is largely pointless, it is kind of funny, and certainly does give people who see this in action something to talk about later lol.

That is HILARIOUS! I wish I was there to either participate or even watch. I probably wouldn't have been able to stop laughing after watching that.

Quite and enjoyable piece, and I would have to say that I would enjoy doing something like that.

I guess you could do a lot of different things to be able to see how people would react. Anyway, they did a very good job.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

This was fucking fantastic, along with everything else on this site!

I've been reading this stuff for the past hour and a half or so, and it's just comedy gold. My favorites so far are the Best Buy prank, the Suicide Jumper, and the U2 Concert.

Honestly, these people are geniuses!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I fucking love Guerilla Theatre. A friend of mine once staged Gorilla Theatre, wherein 10 people suddenly rused out of a van, stormed into a Wal-Mart, and proceeded to do a very well done version of Much Ado About Nothing. In Gorilla suits.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Haha, that's pretty awesome. I hope someday I get to see people doing something like that in some public area. That'd be fun.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I saw this site when they did their Best Buy stunt, and I've been checking back every so often. They do some pretty creative and fun things. I wish there was something like that here to witness or participate in. I'd do silly things like that in a flash.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Now THAT is unique! I would have loved to be there in person to witness that.

FELIPE NO

It's too bad they're in Manhattan -- I would participate if they swung by San Francisco some day.

That said, Anton Chekov for the win!

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

You know, I was talking to Pang about this last night.

It seems like our generation is getting into this pseudo-community-service-via-insanity thing. Correct me if I am wrong, but I've really never heard of these kinds of things done by the previous generations.

We seem so INTERESTING. I love the idea of randomly doing something like this. Even if it upsets people.

In fact, I think its even MORE interesting when it upsets people (like the Best Buy prank) since it indicates that people automatically assume the worst when in fact, no one is there to be menacing at ALL.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Holy crap, that's amazing! I need to watch more of these pranks - this is a very entertaining thing if I've ever seen one. Man, I'd love to be part of a group like that - interrupting the flow of daily life in the name of "art, perhaps". That, and I love Improv. and Improv. groups. I'm moving to New York; sign me up!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I remember a while back watching and reading through the entire catalogue of "pranks" on Improv Everywhere. I loved every second of it. Then I forgot the web address, and I haven't seen the site since then. Thanks for posting this so I can catch back up.

WOW! I spent at least 2 hours on this site and love it. I just want to duplicate some of this stuff locally!
