It's different to make a topic for something that could be put in 100% off-topic, but this is an awesome site.
It's an improv group that executes non-demeaning pranks in public places. Some of the best public improv I've ever seen.

A mobius time-loop inside a Starbucks. (http://www.improveverywhere.com/mission_view.php?mission_id=30)
A suicide Jumper on a 4-foot ledge. (http://www.improveverywhere.com/mission_view.php?mission_id=53)
A surprise party thrown on a subway. (http://www.improveverywhere.com/mission_view.php?mission_id=18)
A mob that moves in slow motion (And then freezes in place) at a Home Depot (http://www.improveverywhere.com/mission_view.php?mission_id=59)
A McDonalds bathroom attendant. (http://www.improveverywhere.com/mission_view.php?mission_id=46)
A Manhattan boat tour inside a water fountain. (http://www.improveverywhere.com/mission_view.php?mission_id=32)
A big crowd of people at a baseball game try to help Rob find his seat. (http://www.improveverywhere.com/mission_view.php?mission_id=62)
A prank is played on the audience of a Ben Folds concert. (http://www.improveverywhere.com/mission_view.php?mission_id=65)

I'm definitely getting those DVDs sometime.

Haha, i love stuff like this!

Me and a friend were once going to both dress up in suits with matching briefcases, and go around the busy town centre doing the old bag switch trick where you sit down next to each other placing the cases together, then stand up and walk off with each others cases, but doing it really obviously and looking shifty. This was about 5 years ago though, and we couldn't find anyone with a video camera to record it.

I'm going to bed now, so I don't have time to check it out much. But I've seen the 4 foot suicide jumper on youtube before, it was much to predictable to be that funny..

I think predictability was the whole idea - they were staging a stereotypical suicide jump from a 4 foot wall...

Definitely worth a thread of its own. It's hilarious just reading about them.

Trying to help Rob find his seat made me laugh extremely hard. :D Must get the DVDs I think.

The Möbius loop and the slow motion pranks seem to be awsome to watch as a whole.

p.s.: Could a mod correct this threads title?

No. the title of this thread is already correct.

If you'd like I could correct your punctuation instead.

It's a shame that the no-pants 2k6 turned into such a mess, and LOL at police officer Panton.
