This looks like it’s from a European prank show.
Michigan Improv recently created a marathon inside a shopping mall. The runners ran through the mall and then finished by freezing in place just before the finish line, which was cleverly chosen to be right in front of the retail chain Finish Line.
Our friends at Scene Diego have posted their latest mission video.
They write:
41 Agents bring Rocky to San Diego. We dress up in gray sweats, run thru the mall, and across downtown showing true Rocky spirit. Mall security called for “backup”, we stopped a tour trolley in its tracks, and had a couple bystanders join in. While nobody was really sure who these loud, energetic people were, they cheered us on until the finish line.
The Israeli group Shuk.Li recently got a large group of participants to go camping in a huge mall in Tel Aviv. They write:
Dizzengof Center is a very big mall in Tel Aviv that is an architectural masterpiece of twisted space. It is quite hard to navigate, and every time I go there, I keep getting lost. It is a perfect place for us to act as if we are tourists from the suburbs of Israel, coming to see the sights of the big city. The mission had three parts. First, the happy campers trekked the mall dressed in their best trekking equipment, asking people for directions, etc. Some of us even had maps of the mall or maps of the city.
The second part was a guided tour. We had an actor portraying a tour guide, telling stories that are tied with local folklore and culture - things any one in Israel would instantly relate to and recognize. Only, each story was twisted to fit some part of the mall. The tour was really fun for all of the participants (including one or two bystanders who joined in the middle).
The last part was actually building a camp. We planned a little surprise at this point. While the campers were unpacking their sleeping bags, two forest rangers jumped the group. They told them this is not a legal camping site and asked them to leave so they do not disturb the habitat of the local animals - to the surprise of everyone, campers and bystanders alike. All in all, a great success.
Here’s their video, in Hebrew.
Rob Cockerham from Cockeyed recently helped stage a dinner party in a Sacramento Ikea.
He writes:
Oh! Those IKEA room displays! Entire rooms full of furniture, lighting, rugs and notions. Any one of those rooms would be a great place to sit and entertain friends. They look so comfortable and inviting!
It was an invitation that Jason Adair couldn’t pass up. He decided to have a Fancy Dress Party at IKEA.
Rob’s video is below:
The folks from Scene Diego gave out coupons for “free massages” in the (always free) massage chairs at a Sharper Image in Philadelphia. They then had agents show up and confuse the hell out of the managers when they tried to redeem the coupons.
