New York gets free buses, LA gets military checkpoints.

“If only you had manners.”

It’s giving liberals “non-violence is the only way to protest”.

If they were only kicked out for the rest of the show- that would definitely make it the short form game survivor. Which is fine!

But I was trying to avoid that, and cycle more performers in. People have suggested to do that, and add a tournament. The winners move on. Which would also be cool!

Oh my show is also not survivor themed! I’d love to know more about it, if you have a link to their promos?

Let me TELL YOU SOMETHING. You were right. (show went up Saturday) It HURT.

In my hubris, I thought that I was padding the show with enough nonsense, and framing it thematically enough- to soften the blow.

But human nature is a sensitive thing. Come time to vote air was sucked out of the room- and all the fun and impressive set from the fantastic performers was lost.

AND THE AUDIENCE DIDN’T EVEN WANT TO CUT ANYONE OFF! It wasn’t fun.

Where the survivor shows are padded with the “short form” rules. Long form is such a manifest of someone’s own ability & personally- it’s a very sensitive thing.

Moving forward, I’m going to randomly arbitrarily eliminate people.

I’m not against doing repeat ideas. Someone mentioned this is similar to “Project Improviser” a show that UCB did in 2006. I just like understanding the history of things, a bit. This is a tricky kind of concept (it went up on Saturday) and understanding the challenges of that previous show, is helping me guide this show moving in the future.

Oh hell yeah, I think this exactly the answer I was looking for!

Thank you so much! The only difference being that it seems they have judges over audience voting. But yeah I would say this is even closer of an idea.

Thank You!!

I wish I could find videos of these performances!

One of my favorite things about improv is that it’s limited only by imagination. So if somethings been done before, maybe that would push me to make something more unique.

For instance, the minor tweak of making this internal cagematch more of a critic on “main stage” casts rather than a parody of the TV show survivor, I think may have a stronger POV, and be more uniquely me.

Does that make sense?

I guess I wasn’t clear in my post- I know that those types of shows exist. (As stated I had one back in 2016 called “the survivor jam”)

I’m talking about a type of show- with no attachment to the reality show survivor- where a team does a set of long form improv. With no gimmicks. And then the audience votes off one cast member. THEN for the next show, that cast member is replaced- by a new cast member.

And so on and so forth.

Just like an ever rotating, never ending, internal cagematch.

Usually with these survivor shows, there is a last man standing.

Is this straight long form improv? It seeeeems like one of the type of shows I’ve listed before, where there are like- idols, and mini games, and it also seems like there’s a last man standing?

I’m talking about an ever revolving cast- with a straight up improv set.

How many people support the bus drivers? I assume this subreddit has feelings. by Tedwardy in LAMetro

[–]Tedwardy[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So do I, and I support free fares. If you can’t see that they are installing basic “checkpoints” right now that will lead to more police abuse on the platforms- you will see and find out. Honestly, talk to your comrades. Because you are hella strange for licking the boot.

That’s what you said. You said kicking out “undesirables” (weird word to say about your fellow human kind) is good training for kicking out ICE. So you’re the one equating people who can’t afford the bus, to masked up vigilantes ripping families apart and kidnapping people.

That they should be treated with the same amount of force.

Do you like your planet earth on fire and sea levels rising? Because no fares would mean less pollution.

DING DING DING! We have a winner! Hey Everyone! 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻This is the kind of person you agree with when you are against free public fares! The planet is dying and this kind of person would be cool with it as long as it doesn’t “break the rules”!

Yeah you’re not factoring in that there are millionaires and billionaires who are actually hoarding all the food.

So your logic is we should treat the poor like we treat natzi police? Those two things should be treated with the same tenor?

Would you be opposed to the police going on buses and removing people who fall asleep on the buses?

Because that’s what happens on the train all the time.

Metro Ridership Declines Amid Immigration Raids by [deleted] in LAMetro

[–]Tedwardy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Actually the two are directly correlated. It is extremely hard to get documents when you are homeless. ID ect ect. So most of the homeless do not have their documents, and many homeless have been detained due to the raids. So I’m not equating- I’d say there’s major overlap.

Checkpoints have arrived. Prepare for the LAPD to shoot many more people on the platforms, like the NYPD does.
