** In 2011, they created a "sequel" to [[http://improveverywhere.com/2010/07/14/star-wars-subway-car/ "Star Wars Subway Car"]] in which [[http://improveverywhere.com/2011/04/01/jar-jar-subway-car/ an actor playing Jar Jar Binks gets beat up on a subway train.]] Unfortunately, this was not a joke involving the fandom hatred of the character; the assault was unwarranted and the actor pressed charges.

** [[StarWars Imperial Stormtroopers]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5gCeWEGiQI&feature=player_embedded capture Princess Leia on the New York subway]].

* {{Anticlimax}}: To celebrate five years after what he considered IE's first mission, Charlie Todd [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBS04FZrtb4 attempted to call]] one of that mission's [[TheMark marks]] (who had given him her phone number), to see if she had ever figured out it was a prank. When he dialed, [[spoiler:a voice told him the number had been disconnected.]] Lampshaded in the Improv Everywhere book.

* TheMark: Any passersby, or whoever IE decides to randomly target. Always without malicious intent, of course.

* WeddingDay: [[http://improveverywhere.com/2009/06/02/surprise-wedding-reception/ Surprise Wedding Reception]], obviously.
** As well as [[http://improveverywhere.com/2011/10/17/pro-wrestler-wedding/ Pro Wrestler Wedding]].

* BavarianFireDrill: See their Best Buy operation.

** In 2014, they Claimed they did a reenactment of "Franchise/SpiderMan".

** The Gregory Brothers participated in "Mall Santa Musical," Evan as the delivery man and Michael as the Christmas present.

* NewYorkSubway: A great many of their pranks are carried out here.

* BellisariosMaxim: Something they encourage, intentionally or otherwise. Don't question the show, just enjoy it.

* DoingItForTheArt: Of comedy. No one gets paid, and everyone participates just for the sake of causing random fun.

* RooftopConcert: Once got a cover band pretend to be {{U2}} and play some of the band's songs on top of a Manhattan rooftop ([[ShoutOut in reference to]] the band's MusicVideo for "Where The Streets Have No Name") when the real band was scheduled to play at Madison Square Garden.

* AprilFools: Each year since 2009, IE has posted a fake mission video on April 1, with the joke being on the fans of the website.

* BedsheetGhost: Invoked in [[http://improveverywhere.com/2010/05/18/who-you-gonna-call/ Who You Gonna Call?]], a life-action re-enactment of ''Film/{{Ghostbusters}}''.

->''"I think this movie's biggest achievement is the authenticity it creates. Unlike scripted dialog, all conversations in this film felt completely real to me. "Nice hotel, um I mean cafe". That's stuff that happens in real life all the time, especially when you've had a few beers. But it never happens in the movies. If it were to happen, they'd shoot another take.

* FlashMob: Some might say this is the entire point. Charlie Todd, however, doesn't like using this description as A) Improve Everywhere was created before the term 'flash mob' came into use, B) Their 'missions' are so varied that many don't fit the usual image of a flash mob, and C) The term has been used for so many different things, some with negative connotations, that he doesn't really feel comfortable using it.

** What's wrong with forty-odd people in khakis and blue shirts just standing around in a [[http://improveverywhere.com/2006/04/23/best-buy/ Best Buy]] helping anyone who mistakes them for employees? (Besides freaking out the management, that is.)

[[http://improveverywhere.com/ Improv Everywhere]] is the improvisational troupe founded by Charlie Todd that goes into UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity and does really odd (and [[RuleOfCool awesome]]) stuff for their own amusement. Known for pulling off a fake Music/{{U2}} concert atop a roof top where a real one was about to be held (before being pulled away by cops), riding a subway with no pants en masse (before being pulled away by cops), and going to Best Buy dressed in blue shirts and tan khakis like employees ([[RuleOfThree before being pulled away by cops]]).
