Improv Everywhere Strikes Home Depot

Charlie Todd and his improv agents strike NYC again. The mission: the agents have to walk slow and eventually stand still in a Home Depot.

From the website:

One thing we had not anticipated was that most people normally shop a pretty slow pace. Because of this, the slow motion phase was very subtle; you had to look close to notice something out of the ordinary was going on. It was difficult at times to tell who was in on the mission and who was not. It was only the large gestures like picking up a product or taking a sip of a drink that were obviously unusual.


So most people are slow-motion zombies when they shop at Home Depot, so much so that you can't tell who's walking in slow-motion as a prank and who's just shopping for a cordless drill. And these are New York shoppers. This might be the saddest prank in recorded history.
