[edit] Name
Moar like "Planned humor mostly in the New York City area" mirite lol. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.89.247.127 (talk) 01:51, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] NPR has no respect
There was a rather insulting profile of the troupe on This American Life which presented them as just another HA-HA-WE-GOTCHA group of sadistic pranksters along the lines of Ali G or Punk'd. Perhaps the broadcast (and its notable lack of objectivity) should be mentioned in the article. 206.114.20.121 21:24, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
- Oh, splattering elephant diarrhea. *Sigh* But as the group's nature is clear from the text and TAL doesn't seem to be that famous, I think that a mention on the page would be unwarranted - this one here, on the other hand, might do fine. --Kizor 00:46, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Need mission list
I think the article is good, but needs a list of missions and a brief synopsis of each. Their past missions are listed on their website, but each has very long logs of each event. Brief synopsis of each (and why some were notable or infamous (e.g. "The Best Gig")) would also be helpful. Just my $.02... — Frecklefoot | Talk 15:25, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- I've started a synopsis list; as of now, it's only up to the end of 2001. I hope it's not too wordy. Azure Haights 00:48, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
- No, the synopsis list is fine. I can't wait until you get to "The Best Gig" and "Ted's Birthday", since I want to know why these two are so (in)famous. -- Jalabi99 08:36, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] TV show pilot?
"Improv Everywhere" is listed as a pilot on Variety.com [1] If this is indeed the same thing, it needs to be added to the article.
- It is the same thing, but the pilot was not picked up for NBC's Fall season. [2] has the source. And the last 4 missions have been filmed for NBC.
[edit] Augusto Boal
This seems clearly inspired by Augusto Boal's Invisible theater. Any theater student should know the guy... Maybe something could be mentioned in the article? Love, Parababelico 02:52, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
