Long story short: get a bunch of people to wander into a Best Buy and wander around wearing blue golf shirts and khaki pants.

Theo, what they did in the store was the improv part.

Quite passionate about the 'pure' definition of improv, eh?

Theo, of course it's improv. All they had was a time and a date and a place, but everything they said inside was all unscripted. According to your logic, improv shows aren't improv either simply because they plan the date to do it.
So yes, it is improv. Idiot.

this was stupid and a waste of time
