im-pro-vent (im-prau-vent): A public event that involves the use of improvisational acting.
((( Something I have been seeing just from today alone is that some people are taking ideas to an extreme. It is my opinion that your ideas shouldn't incite a mass panic or require ambulances or police. Ideas should create curiosity, bewilderment, laughter, and fun. Staging events in which mass amounts of people would writhe in pain would incite a panic of people who would think that their is either a disease or someone would call ambulances. That should not be the goal. The goal should be to cause a scene that doesn't have to do with horrible things. I saw a video earlier of some people impersonating target employees, not only did they brandish stolen name tags but they also claimed to work there to customers. Thats pushing it to an extreme... in my opinion.)))
I had some time to sit down and think of a few, hope you enjoy and or use! (All ideas are copyright my imagination. haha)
Improvent Ideas:
[[ THIS DISCUSSION IS BEING EDITED AND ADDED TO FREQUENTLY SO CHECK BACK OFTEN! :) ]]
Improvent 1: Falling Fast
Agents: 10+
Description: At a not so densely populated area a group of agents spread out. One agent has what I would call the "fainting touch". The person with the "fainting touch" will walk up to each agent to ask for directions but as soon as he touches them on the shoulder to turn around they collapse to the ground. As this continues to happen to each agent he touches, people will begin to take notice and probably back away. For added effect one agent could begin backing away yelling "Don't touch me!" and then run.
Improvent 2: Cell Phone Phenomenon
Agents: 20+
Description: Agents meet at a pre-disclosed location in order to exchange phone numbers. Agents are paired off into partnerships and then split into two groups. We can call the group in action the Responders and the other group that will be participating the Callers. The Responders will make their way into a store one by one discreetly looking at products in a small store with decent foot traffic. After all the Responders are inside the shop their partner Callers who are at a location away from the store will simultaneously be told to call them. Each Responder will respond in unison with the others to their partner Callers. The Callers will be asking the same questions all previously orchestrated. The surrounding people and workers will watch on in confusion and surprise.
Improvent 3: I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Nothing?
Agents: 50+
Description: In a densely populated area with a lot of foot traffic agents spread out. At a pre-determined time they all start cheering, clapping, and wooing at nothing. Will other people start to clap and cheer for no reason at all ? Find out!
Improvent 4: The Biggest Pillow Fight Ever
Agents: 50+
Description: As a kid I always liked to pillow fight with my brothers. As an adult... pillow fighting may be a little childish but it doesn't matter to me! I think it would be great if their was an orchestrated event in a large park during the day where agents were told to bring big soft pillows to be in the largest pillow fight ever! Of course you would hold back from smacking people too hard, we are all friends here, but the scene of 50+ people pillow fighting in a giant park would be by far the funniest thing I would ever witness.
Improvent 5: Boxes and Boxes of People
Agents: 30+
Description: All right I admit this idea is a little out their but I figure if someone wants to do it then more power to them. I don't like to qualify any idea as being stupid so here it goes! This scene involves a need for a lot of cardboard shipping boxes. Agents flood the scene, wherever that might be, with giant folded up cardboard boxes. The tops of the boxes which are used to close the box have been previously cut off. One at a time or all at once, after they have spread out, agents build the boxes quickly then curl up underneath them. Similar to a freeze this will cause a lot of "weird" confusion as people walk amongst the large amount of boxes littered around the ground. New comers to the scene (or agents pretending to be new comers) may let curiosity get the best of them and pick up the box. If a box is picked up off of a person they stand up, yawn, and walk away like nothing has happened. Would it freak you out if you picked up a box and found a person underneath it?
Improvent 6: Babies For Sale
Agents: 15+
Description: This Improvent requires a van, a lot of dolls wrapped in towels, and a baby! A make shift booth is made that is entitled BABIES FOR SALE set up in a park or elsewhere allowed. "Couple" agents walk near the booth and are shouted to by the over aggressive man selling the babies. The couple then discusses and buys a baby. (Preferably low cost!) Onlookers won't know what to do as they watch couples purchasing wrapped up bundles of joy! Of course the real baby will be displayed on the table as a display baby "DO NOT TOUCH DISPLAY!".
Improvent 7: Happiness in a Bag
Agents: 10+
Description: One agent, "the vendor of happiness", carries around something similar to what people whom sell things at sporting events carry around. ((the name escapes me at the moment.)) On the tray their would be paper bags rolled up that contain nothing but "happiness" inside of them. The agent yells, "Get your free bags of happiness here! Free bags of happiness!". Disgruntled agents periodically walk up and recieve a bag of happiness and as soon as they open it they instantly have a new look on the world and a smile to share with everyone! Maybe people will give it a try haha.
Improvent 8: Running Down a Bean(Dream like the song :P)
Agents: 50+
Description: One agent is chosen as the runner, preferably someone who is physically fit. The rest of the agents scatter throughout the chosen route. The runner begins his run and as he passes agent groups, previously stationed, they join with the mob (yelling and shouting) about five yards behind the runner. Not only will this keep the mob in a good number of people but it will also allow those who get tired to break and sit down without drastically withdrawing the mobs numbers. The route is preferably finished at a Starbucks where the mob goes in for a coffee and or water to sit down and chat like nothing has happened at all.

But Stephen shouting in your ears sounds arousing o_o
Lol, no, I keep the batcave tidy. (wtf, I should gain some shame XD) I would say something worse.. .but this is public and all XD Aha, okay, good~
I totally know what you mean. I only recently started appreciating comedy from there, in the past few weeks. I normally have to use subtitles though XD I mean, I can decipher Larry the Cable Guy, but not Eddie Izzard. Yep, I'm a Texan. But I like when Izzard aims towards an American audience. As for Monty Python, a lot of the time (in the movies at least) you don't have to know much about Britain :D
Well then, sir, that would make you amazing XD
STEVEN COLBERT YES!!!!!!!!!! My laptop is named after him. I'm still in the middle of reading I Am America (and So Can You!) Though, I'll have to admit the comedian that I first loved was Conan, so he gets seniority points. I mean, I had sexual dreams about him when I was 8. Seriously. XD Lately I've been watching a lot of Robin Williams, Eddie Izzard and Monty Python though.
Well my ex referred to my ....place as the batcave. Cause he had named his Bruce/Batman.
Yeah, nerd dating is terrifying.
Aren't Batman and Catwoman enemies? And we all know there is something else going on. Unless Batman is retarded.
Baha :) who are your favorite comedians? I like the name, works well~
Y'know I just took that picture today so pfffffft. And I'm too lazy to upload any more here. XD Plus I look better in green than teal.
I've never had sushi. I've been to Tokyo twice, but never ate sushi. I should, but at the same time it's fun to say I've been to Tokyo but haven't had it.
It's understandable, I spend a large amount of my time watching comedians on YouTube.... shockingly I'm not right now.
Yes, beautifully I have this done so far:
" "
Yep.
Is that like a Californian thing to say? My sister was stationed in San Diego in the Navy and she was like "I'm so excited to play in the giant sandbox! :D" She's already done with it though, now she has a civilian job in Iraq.
Ah that's true, and that flight is easy~
Honestly, I wish it was D: it's about poems and Hamlet.
Nice sign off haha :)
