Improv Everywhere has completed their new prank and, as usual, it is so annoying. PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO STUDY FOR EXAMS! But also now there is a Norwegian Improv Everywhere? They are more charming, for nå.

In their last stunt, they boated over to Iceland and planted a bunch of smoke bombs on top of some mountain. Needless to say, the results were hilarious!
Guilty as charged, Notsewfast.
Note to self: Don’t rely on security guard at New York Public Library to protect me when the shit goes down.
Did Copenhagen get annexed by Norway when I wasn’t looking?!
It’s not like there were loads of Danish flags in the video.
Oh…
I don’t know what Gabe was thinking they don’t have buses in Norway… they all drive Fjords. I’m out.
In England they call them inlets.
Oh you nordics, always expecting people to know the difference between your countries.
I’m impressed that they trained the caribou to operate a camera
I was kind of on the fence about Improv Everywhere for a while. Yeah, their pranks featured on This American Life were obviously awful and the main guy seems like a pompous prick, but he obviously had good intentions even if he was entirely oblivious that a random guy might be creeped out by hordes of strangers calling him by a different name and throwing him a birthday party.
But this Ghostbusters thing is FUCKING RIDICULOUS. I love Ghostbusters far more than any grown man should, and if I was at the library just looking for a decent novel, I would totally be into it. But people are working, you assholes! They’re studying! That’s the problem with IE, they just assume that everyone wants their lives interrupted in order to see a little of their fucking magic. And it’s so presumptuous and arrogant, like they’re saying “Wake up, SHEEPLE! Fuckin’ miracles everywhere up in this bitch!”
That Ghostbusters shit made me ridiculously angry. So I watched the other one and started to tear up at the end. These are too many emotions for one post!
How would you feel about a Ghostbusters reference in a song about Twin Peaks?
I think everyone would be happy with that.
iz u rly a man?
Dad?
I’m annoyed/ambivalent about the whole thing, but what gets me is the way they linger on smiling faces as if letting you know just how awesome everyone thinks they are. It’s like if a comedy special spent 30 to 40 percent of the show with the cameras trained on the audience. We get it, you’re well liked!
Well said. A lot of IE shit just reminds of that Mr. Show sketch where David Cross plays the janitor that spices up his work shift with hilarious hijinks but he’s really the only person aware it’s even a joke. Especially the part where he’s trying to fix a sink and his Groucho glasses get in his way and he throws them off in frustration. That = IE.
Of course the fact that the library actually ASKED THEM TO DO IT takes some of the luster out of your last paragraph.
I used to run an improv troupe, but we were apparently doing it wrong, as we didn’t carefully script out and plan every detail of each show.
If it wasn’t planned out then why were you all painted blue?
I’m afraid they just blue themselves.
well planned everywhere
Please, tell me the Assaulted Nuts are not performing!
Norwegians, 1. Ghostbusters, 0.
Yeah, that birthday thing made my day. Super Sweet. MORE OF THESE, THANK YOU.
Those Norwegians really know how to bring out the Topher Grace in all of us.
In Norway they call him Tjofer Gräce
That is what they call him in Sweden.
In Japan they call him Annual Gift Man.
In Mother Russia, the ladies call him “Monthly Gift of Nature Man”
ok bye.
In Soviet Russia, Topher Grace’s you.
All the upvotes for this one.
this guy knows what i’m talking about
This is so lovely. Denmark, in particular Copenhagen, is supposed to be one of the best places to live. Danish people pay super-high taxes and they are really happy about them, overall; people care about each other’s well being, cradle to grave. And their birthday song is really cheery! Even better: clearly not copyright-protected until THE END OF TIME.
As a comedian/performance artist (?) I agree that the majority of IE’s stuff is fucking dumb and obnoxious. However, one of their first “missions” (ugh) was to do a repetition of a 5-minute action-based scene in a Starbucks for an hour straight. It involved like 8 people doing the same 5-minute routine over and over again. That’s the kind of stuff I can get behind. It’s odd, funny, unique; it doesn’t interfere with people’s lives too much (people can leave if they find it annoying); and I’m sure that spectators found it very entertaining and left with a story.
But this thing is fucking bullshit.
I THINK I’ve seen SOMEONE talk about that SHIT on here before and I STILL don’t get IT. IS THERE a video?

Fair warning, the audio will make you want to put bullets in your ears.
Why does this guy ALWAYS USE caps on certain words? I am looking for A SECRET pattern or CODE but I just don’t see it.

As an asshole, I think your comment is bullshit, Duke Nukem.
As a fellow asshole, you, my friend, are no asshole.
Oh come on. We’re all assholes.
As a librarian (unemployed), I’m not particularly offended about this video, although I’m usually at least mildly offended by Improv Everywhere. Whatever keeps people thinking about a library is a-ok by me, because it reminds people to use the fucking library and keeps my profession/place of employment (alleged) relevant.
Seriously, though, I need a fucking job. Hire me. Anyone.
Norwegian everything is better than elsewhere’s everything. Also, when Gabe took geography ( before 1814) Norway was ruled by Denmark. Give him a break, Gabe is just a child of his era!
The Ghostbusters thing would have been great if they just came in, handcuffed the ghosts quietly then walked out. y’know, less is more…
also, I want to be friends with all of Denmark!
