Improv Everywhere - Best Buy Uniform Prank (Remastered)

[ycland]

So a bunch of people get together and wear the same color scheme as the retailer employees? Is this what "entertainment" has become? I don't get why people think this type of behavior is 'cool'. It's not that they "can't take a joke", especially when one of the instructions for the Improv people is to help a person asking for it.

[gravecactus]

+1 to the cops for being rational about a silly situation

[1Shawndra]

What do you know, the cops did not practice injustice! YAY! You don't see that every day! lol I was disappointed that I didn't get to see customers asking for help. I want the next prank to have a little less people involved so that customers might actually ask for help before the cops get called lol.

[Uatemydoodle]

ROFL, were not gonna arrest anyone for wearign a blue polo shirt

[onesizesmall]

I like the idea of there being a random person who has nothing to do with the prank but happens to be wearing a blue polo and khaki pants somewhere in there, they would be so confused

[Skittles3Ginny3]

Best Buy really doesn't know how to take a joke do they?

[sparklezzvids]

Another reason I hate this franchise!!! Seriously, throwing them out the store for wearing blue polos and khaki pants!?!? Such ASSHOLES!!

[aroze14]

Wow. Best Buy used to be pretty ghetto.

[babybatproductions]

Way to over react! The Best Buy I work for would probably find this hilarious and just watch the chaos happen. :)

[corlongwell]

well calling the cops was a bit of an overreaction.

[element394]

bestbuy people are assholes.

true story.

[xx840]

@element394 true idk why but people who work in best buy freak out easily and are kinda strick. feels like you'r always being watch and buged. It's kinda funny that they did this,.

[modeltrainexpert]

Wow really? They called the cops on people wearing blue shirts? This is another reason why I hate best buy.

[airplanegod]

Oh, and great job to the cop who knew these employees are paranoid bitches. What a stupid company.

[airplanegod]

Best Buy sucks anyway, lousy employees and they never have the item I want. Great prank and kudos to all of those who participated!

[somuchrandom]

Call 911!

[simaess]

I can understand why they were alarmed. If a whole bunch of people came into my workplace dressed like me I'd go "...wtf?"

No need to fuckin' alert the authorities. Have people lost all sense of humor nowadays?

Jeeze...

[mratajczak67]

@simaess people have lost their minds! this is brilliant! "call 9-1-1" for what?!?....excellent!

[AlexLikesSandwitches]

"You're wearing the same outfit as us, we're gonna have to ask you to leave."

".... Ok diva."

[boredom847]

why call 911, where are their guns? 

[FrozenCrewGr]

fucking system , brainwashed world!

[Scrinoverlord]

@FrozenCrewGr The big bad "system" has nothing to do with it, idiot.

[FrozenCrewGr]

@Scrinoverlord are you a real life troll 

[Scrinoverlord]

@FrozenCrewGr No, I'm pointing out the obvious. These people are doing their jobs. They're not brainwashed, they're not "pawns of the system". They're average Americans with an average job in an average store.

[solomon651]

OMG! do one at target!! hahahah, sometimes i wear a red sweater or t'shirt and put my keychain around my neck, so many people comes up to me asking for help and i was like uh, i dont work here.. now i know not to wear my key chain around my neck! hahah do one at target!!!!

[guitarguy2596]

WTF I hate Best Buy now what a bunch of dopes! They kicked them out for wearing the same clothes........ wow. I would love to participate in one of these things just to piss Best Buy off

[goosio]

This is what happens when you don't have an actual uniform and just a wardrobe standard. I've actually gone into stores like Target not realizing I was wearing the store colors and had people ask me questions. :P I just laugh about it and help them out if I can. ;)

[TheGloriousApple]

"Americans"

[bia6677]

Wow, calling 911 was just... stupid. Why? At least the policeman thought the same.

[Liqliq888]

i bet no one tried to shoplift that day

[CeeJayy628]

"There's really no reason for us being here" hahah

People need to develop a sense of humor

[thenathmeister2]

wow! this means such bad PR for them haha

[KneeOJustice]

1:30

Call 911, there's a bunch of people wearing blue shirts and khaki pants.

[1sailor1]

welcome to corporate America. Where they can throw you out for not acting like everyone else.

[lqtm237]

I think it's because they didn't want them to steal anything then get away with it by all looking the same.

[firefox00123]

Best buy must be so pissed right now

[theKaraProject]

@vardoegers Please, no one ever wears a fake uniform when going to purchase an item at that store.

[ybf034]

really, 911??

[CanadienAtheist]

Bloody brilliant! I love it.

[QED1964]

Those shop staff seem to have forgotten that when you dial 911, it should be for an emergency only. What a waste of police time because the staff didn't think about what they were doing.

[ElVenezolano94]

Lmao epic trolling

[KewkiesNCreamify]

They probably thought it was a terrorist attack lmfao.

[gingerwentmad]

Call 911! There are people wearing blue polo shirts!

[YeOldeTimeyScum]

Those police were not happy about being called in for that.

[Venusstar22]

But...don't the Best Buy employees have the Best Buy logo on their polo shirts as opposed to the ones involved in the prank who only wore regular plain blue polo shirts? So therefore it shouldn't be that hard to identify who is actually who?...i'm just saying!

[AndiKuerbiskernNet]

@Venusstar22

Not for usual costumers ^^ I was in an electronic market, where the staff wears red shirts with name tags. I was wearing a red shirt, too (without name tag and logo) and at least 3 costumers asked me and think, I wear a staff member.

[AndiKuerbiskernNet]

@AndiKuerbiskernNet I mean, the think I was a stuff member.

[Hekinsieden]

@Venusstar22 You're forgetting the main fact, Customers are STUPID! I work at Target and even after I clock out and take off my name badge people come after me because of my red shirt.

[Awes0meNameHere]

Really, they called 911. Fashion emergency?

[HAWBMWable]

"AAH, MY ORIGINALITY, YOU ARE RUINING IT, GET OUUUUUUT!!"

>,>

[Tstr0ng420]

It's nice to see a police officer who has a brain and didn't start tasing everybody.

[masteele7047]

can you say OVERACTION!

[WillShakespeare2007]

This is the most laid back U.S. cop I have seen. They usually just pepper spray and taser everyone and ask questions later.

[meme88lilmami]

"Call 911" Really does this seem like an emergency to you? Get outta here. People are stupid and they're just meanies.

[nuubez]

IM KICKING YOU OUT BECAUSE YOU ARE WEARING THE SAME THING AS I AM >:(

are you serious...?

[MegaJakeroo]

@nuubez They sound like two girls at prom.

[hebewster]

I worked for Best Buy when I was about 17, and I've never seen anything like this. Most of us were pretty laid back, geeky kind of people. Don't know what kind of assholes work at this one.

[ipodrulerz99]

seriously? its a prank! 1st amendment right broken there. freedom of speech. well sorta. they should be able to wear what they want where ever they want

[HavinFun94]

@ipodrulerz99 No, that only applies to the federal government, state governments, and law making bodies, as well as those that work under them. Best buy is in neither of those categories.

[SkyBuster3000]

@ipodrulerz99 True... but everyone dressed the same before and people thought it was a joke.... then the store got robbed

[SkyBuster3000]

Go into IKEA and pretend its like ur actual home

[shao19930711]

look! all the Best Buy workers disliking this

[ComputerPanda27]

They should have been like, Why do I have to leave? It's national blue polo shirt day!

[cmanleyspy]

hahaha fuck you best buy

[iloathbirdsss]

this is like a pussy version of Operation Mayhem

[nofatchxplzthx]

well dont go to best buy in a blue polo shirt, they'll make you leave

[cheermkd]

We're not gonna arrest anyone for wearing a blue polo shirt LOL

[Chucklor11]

Haha greatttt

[epicmaster244]

awesome

[MurphysLaw513]

the pussification of america: oh no! everyone is wearing blue polo shirts! call 911!

[0nett]

This is one of the many reasons why Best Buy is failing as a company, poor customer service.

[Strothy2]

Trolling level: impressive

[93Gamerz]

LOL they just wearing blue polo and they call 911...thats so sad, i mean come on! its not the blueman group!

[tayx24]

that man is wearing the same shade of blue polo as me.. call 911!

[mallorylauletti]

Do the same thing at TARGET!

[cptspoofy]

That's a great cop!

[marcin97]

"Call 911" -- OMG, so effin' idiotic. Embarrassing for BB. No clue how to handle it at all.

[pashak11]

best buy employees should have been arrested for obstruction of justice

[FFreeLevant]

They can't even have a laugh about it... what a bunch of zombies

[Broden124]

@FFreeLevant The cops probably got more of a laugh out of it than those sheep.

[giantalfreak1]

@FFreeLevant I completely agree. This is supposed to be funny like the Mall Santa Musical, not a drag like a boring documentary!

[twistedexperiment]

If you can't arrest someone for wearing a blue poloshirt, then I don't know what the world has come to!

[mindinflow]

The 354 dislikes work for the bank

[IKnewThatNews]

the workers are doing their job but they are kinda stupid for calling the cops. why Would they arrest them just cuz of their shirt and pants? haha

[paintmareluv6]

call 911?!

[MrRbmx]

What the cop said: "We're not gonna arrest anybody for wearing a blue polo shirt."

What the cop wanted to say: "This is fucking hilarious why the fuck did you call us out here?! Assholes..."

[CashiusTML]

Fuckin retard

[TapsaTaBiLo]

Just trollin' around.

[l905l]

This I why I don't shop at best buy ... The staff are complete idiots

[ibmthinkpad99]

Haha love it.

[HerDamnTube]

I'd fall for this...as soon as I walk into a Best Buy I say, "Where in the fuck is a blue shirt?"

[pdcarter4598]

GEE they were only trying to have a joke!

[vardoegers]

Sucks to be that one person who genuinely showed up in a blue polo and khakis by accident to make a purchase and was thrown the hell out.

[meizupower]

@vardoegers That happened to me once but at walmart and after school were we have to wear uniforms and they were the exact as walmarts and some bitch told me to leave because i was impersonating an employee.

[420GOW2420]

If something as random as this happened anywhere that I worked I would look for Charlie and then ask for his autograph, then wink and let all my co-workers be confuzzled.

[xxvietbebe]

OH MY GOD call the swat team!!

[goldeagle501]

yeah call 911 because this is clearly an emergency up there with robberies, assault and abuse

[MacClay8]

Wow, that girl at :34 has an awesome braid.

[Balgore8]

Best Buy employees are twits lol

[makandra77]

"Call 911"... what a douche! Kudo for that cop!

[shadowbodypk]

that's my uniform too :)) lol ....come in my school and you'll see only blue pollos O.o

[CdL3o]

i think if there were like 2 or 3 people wearing the outfit it might have been weird if they asked them to leave

but with so many people coming in...i would be worried too

[smpowned]

that is soo fucking awesome

[PeteTrab]

If you watch the Ted Talk on this with Charlie Todd, he mentions that a lot of their cameras got taken away but the one guy who never got caught, went in dressed in normal clothes, and put a blank tape in one of their cameras on display and filmed hahaha

[MagicalArabian]

Hahah... +1 for improv -1 for whoever the jackass is that said call the police

[Elervin11]

Omg they cant steal anything there was hundreds of them of course something was going on..gosh theyre so dumb and it would be cool if they wouldve done that at my store lol

[strrowland420]

wow cops actually saying they won't attack innocent people doing nothing. was this movie made by M. Night Shyamalan? WHAT A TWIST!

[khaipham78]

how would u arrest someone by what their wearing? -.-"

[TheWallofLame]

I work at best buy and this is freaking awesome lol I wish someone would do this

[mrwalnuthero]

I would have been like "i was gonna buy something, but if u want me to leave. Fine bitch" lol

[523oel123]

prank gone wrong

[SergeantFiasco]

Hahaha You get asked to leave for wearing the same attire? NICE REASON.

[th3thrilld3m0n]

My robotics team wears blue shirts and khakis, plus on the front from afar our logo looks similar to the best buy logo (shape); its yellow, too

[KABOOM123454321]

Omg, same clothes! call 911 :O lmfao

[LilCodaD]

@KABOOM123454321 Don't you get it? It's a fashion emergency! XD

[jshizzle56]

they got mad because they just so happened to be wearing the same clothes...omg

[xarinrex]

They most likely believed this was an organized theft situation. People not knowing any better (i.e: New employees), would probably also feel that the people were employees, so the chance of them going somewhere they weren't to go, or getting stuff they weren't supposed to have, would be higher.

It's silly for people to call blame on Best Buy itself. The manager handled it the way he/she (not sure who it is), felt was needed. :\

[MrWubzywubzy]

@xarinrex shut up

[retardedmonkeyonweed]

Holy Shit they still sold ps2 games in 2011

0:34

[DookNewcomb]

@retardedmonkeyonweed This video is from 2006, you'd know that if you read the description....

[qwertypo1337]

@retardedmonkeyonweed You know this is the same footage from 2006 just slightly improved right?

[Squirrels310]

Fuck Best Buy

[MrMyvince]

Best buy employee: Hello?!? Is this the police?!?! We have a big problem! PEOPLE ARE WEARING THE SAME CLOTHES AS I AM WEARING

911:...

Best buy employee: HELLO?!

*Beep beep beep beep*

[Hiidenlintu]

"There are people wearing blue shirts and khaki trousers, this is an emergency! Get them arrested!"

[movieshop1000]

911?? why??

[IIWATCHUWHENUSLEEP]

I woulda been laughing like hell if i was workin there

[Browncoat06]

I wish I could have heard that 911 call

[L3GTxGaming]

people get butt hurt easy these days

[Death102]

i love what the cop says haha

[TheHamsterOfRudeness]

if i worked t best buy i would 've left with them

[blacknmild1234]

if people would invest less time into taking arrows to their knees and a bit MORE time on being as creative as this channel the world would be a better place.. lol BEST CHANNEL ive ever subscribed to i plead you not to stop :)

[tonywf]

The real prank will be if this video is shown a few years from now and there's still a Best Buy to even remember.

[chilidog921]

1st amendment violation much!!!!!!!

[Louisplam]

@chilidog921 This isn't a violation of the first amendment since it's a private property.

[trilobright]

First time I have ever heard or even heard of a New York cop declining the invitation to arrest people.

[lifeisfunwithpeople]

call the fashion police!

[pvtjamesryan3]

Best Buy is full of a bunch of fucking assholes.

I would've told the cops and the manager to suck my fucking dick.

There's not god damn law in the world those people broke. Fuck Best Buy for inciting violence against their customers. Attempting to prosecute the innocent.

FUCK BEST BUY!!! MOTHERFUCKERS!!!

[VereorUnus789]

@pvtjamesryan3 No, that's just NY.

[SoCalDualSport]

@pvtjamesryan3 Dude! I'll talk you down. Don't jump.

[snowboarderr1234]

0:45 employee looks kinda like Steve Meade....

[CriminalWolf1]

Bitch stole my outfit!

[shusaved]

Here's an idea, why don't you all walk up to the president, everyone holding a realistic plastic handgun. Let's go even further and make gun toting law enforcement even more overwhelmed.

[DemetriCyvka]

@shusaved shut up you little giot it was a joke now grow a pair and take it

[SoCalDualSport]

@shusaved You killed it. Thanks.

[shusaved]

This seems funny I know, but it is a security and theft risk.

[TheInfiniteDepth]

amazing love this:)

[spannertechXXI]

just imagine the cops are also into it and wore blue and khakies when they came

[rerg15]

this is so brilliant, cause what's the worse the authorities can do? the problem is Best Buy's and Best Buy's only lol

[cambieCA101]

Guessing from the like dislike bar 350 ppl are best buy employees !!! lol

[mnmtvFV]

Hey, love this vid :) everyone please check out my channel, i've been making videos for a while so please leave comments :) thanks!

[nileyz]

To all who are blaming Best Buy for them getting kicked out: You're idiots.

The store manager, or whoever decided to kick them out and call the cops on them is an idiot or are idiots.

But this has nothing to do with Best Buy in general except the fact that people are wearing Best Buy uniforms.

Amazing prank.

[thedocisn2]

Love it! Makes Worst Buy look like the fools they really are. Instead of embracing it and having a little fun with it (free advertising anyone?) they choose to freak out. Way to go, Worst Buy. 

[rockford016]

strange day for best buy - - more best buy looking staffs than the regular customers!

awesome prank! :D

[Jomokb76]

dont blame the best buy,.. they just never meet such that strange day  hahahahahhaa

[Jaeffeful]

Would you rather them not wear clothes at all?!

[thowley91]

im boycotting bestbuy because they cant take a joke, what assholes

[NEXTGENCRAFTING]

awsome but that BS kicking them out for wearing the same clothes people do it all the time

[ganjahproductions]

lmfao yeah

[robjmoore63]

I made the mistake of walking into a Target a few years ago wearing a red polo with khaki pants. I didn't realize it until I had a few people asking me questions when I was browsing the Electronics section.

[EricsSmallWorld]

@robjmoore63 challenge accepted

[QueenExpress]

The Other 350 People Must Work @ Best Buy LOOL

[talklouder13]

[AllXClubGoldenSE]

[Seouljaz]

1:51 "theres a hundred downstairs" LOL

[misslegallyblonde]

someone please explain that phone call to me cause it had to be awkward... like someone had to call 911 and say "there are too many people in our store wearing the same outfit as us..." well now i know fashion emergencies do exist...
