“Improv Everywhere” Pranks

This isn’t the “improv” your mother used to make.

This group creates highly orchestrated public pranks. Improv Everywhere causes scenes of chaos and joy in public places. Created in August of 2001 by Charlie Todd, Improv Everywhere has executed over 70 missions involving thousands of undercover agents. The group is based in New York City.

One prank involved this group of pranksters descending on an unsuspecting Best Buy.

See the clip of one of their crowd experiments below. The group’s movements are synchronized by listening to an MP3 on headphones.
