Why do you have to ask so negatively?

Improv Everywhere is a group about challenging social taboos, stigmas and stereotypes en masse. They inject changes into the social conditions and perimeters to see how it effects the programmed responses of society, and if new and unexpected emotional responses are executed.

...Or they be weird to see how people will react...for fun.

Not wearing pants in public would be a social taboo.

Here is one of their more famous improvs:

They prove that all boundaries are abstract and that the world is what we make of it.
I for one support what they do, people who take themselves and their surroundings too seriously need to chillax.

Lol, thats funny. I love the baggage carrier trapped - its obvious society is simply no more then a thin layer of paint over barely suppressed emotions, I'm just not one to heave paint thinner into the mix - as its all fake, why try to prove it anyway.
