Improv, short for Improvisation, is the act of going off-roading from the set script and making up entire chunks of dialogue or characterisation. This is similar to an ad-lib (a short — usually one or two lines — deviation), but here the connotations are that it happens frequently, if not actually the entire acting method. This varies wildly from individual lines to half of the script. Many examples of Throw It In! are because of this, with the actor just goofing around with the script in between takes. It can also be used to produce Enforced Method Acting, if one actor is turned loose to improvise in order to get a realistic reaction from another actor. "Theatresports" is a related concept, that's organised improvisational theatre, where teams of players perform brief 'games' for points. Note that this trope is not always a good thing. If done poorly and without moderation, improvisation may lead to meandering and repetitive performances and conversations that could drag out scenes for far longer than they should. It may also often result in bombastic performances that may not be appropriate for the scene as it was conceived. One way to see where a show or movie tends to use this is when there are Hilarious Outtakes and a certain line changes depending on the take that was used. Compare Harpo Does Something Funny where the script has a gap left with only the instruction "[actor] does something funny here." Examples |

The Thick of It was composed from several takes: in the first, the script was followed exactly, and later the actors would improvise around the original script. The final scene is pieced together from the funniest elements of both (which is why the camerawork sometimes looks jumpier than the usual Jitter Cam). | |

When auditioning for Cheers, John Ratzenberger originally read for the role of Norm. After badly botching his audition, he asked the producers if the show included a bar know-it-all, and proceeded to wander around the room ad-libbing lines that might be appropriate for such a character. A week later, he was called back and offered the newly-written role of Cliff. | |

Parodied in The Simpsons, where an improv team is given "A Starbucks in Serbia" as their setting. "I'll have a coffee" "That'll cost $8. This is Starbucks!" (audience mildly amused) "... In Serbia!" (rocking laughter). In "You Only Move Twice", much of Hank Scorpio's dialogue was improvised by Albert Brooks. This is particularly clear in the "hammock district" conversation, where Dan Castellaneta is obviously just trying to keep up with Brooks. |

The Janitor on Scrubs was not originally supposed to be a recurring character, so many of his scenes were improvised by Neil Flynn, which added to the Cloudcuckoolander behavior of the character. In many other instances the other actors would also improvise reaction lines and other moments. At the end of most of the later episodes, you see earlier versions of some of the scenes where the dialogue gets progressively weirder/more inappropriate/just plain stupider until one of the actors breaks character and goes 'Oh, God, we can't use that!' |

Most of the dialogue in Iron Man was ad-libbed with encouragement from Jon Favreau who approved of the "naturalistic feel." The film was subjected to so many numerous re-writes that the script changed daily. In the end, scenes were shot with a skeletal script outlining important plot points and action with the actors creating the lines as they went. Robert Downey Jr., who joked about balling up the script and throwing it against the wall on numerous television appearances, was credited for improvising many of the movie's notable moments, including Tony Stark's speech for the "Jericho" demonstration and getting the reporters to sit on the floor at the press conference. Jeff Bridges had no idea what to make of this approach, as he was used to meticulous learning of lines and parts, and struggled horribly with Robert and Jon's improv skill...until he retrained himself to think of it as "making a $200 millon student film". |

Paul Rugg's audition to provide the voice of Freakazoid! went way, way off-script. Nearly all of it was then animated as part of the first episode, "Dance of Doom." Some episodes were written with a Paul Harvey-type narrator. Paul Rugg, warming up his Paul Harvey impression, would say things like "smack me with a handle" or "I think there's a thuuuuuuumbtack under my fanny!" and, as before, was surprised to see it had been animated as part of the episode. |

In Gremlins the script had very little written for the Gremlins, so the voice actors made up a bunch of stuff they thought was funny for them to say; Frank Welker (voice of Stripe and others) said that he just made a bunch of random noises into the microphone.

Another famous example of improv is the Mockumentary This is Spın̈al Tap. The movie had no script; the actors simply got into character and improv'ed for hours. Rob Reiner shot several hours of footage which was distilled down into the movie itself; hours of outtakes have been included on the various DVD sets. Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer found they enjoyed this formula so much that they went on to make a number of other improv-ed mockumentaries, including Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, and For Your Consideration. Most of the ensemble cast in these movies started out in improv comedy groups such as the famous Second City. |

Though more scripted than most, at least in its final form, The Colbert Report is grounded firmly in improv, with much of the show being done 'on the fly'; host Stephen Colbert trained at the famous Second City and carried that training with him throughout his career, and Second City's "say yes to everything" motto permeates the Report as well. | |

The scripts of The Mighty Boosh are only loosely written, usually only specifying a few things the actors need to say to further the plot, with much of the rest being improvised. The performers often change their lines between takes to keep their delivery fresh. This is even more the case with the original radio show which was less rehearsed than the TV show. | |

Ella Fitzgerald was performing "Mack the Knife" for her live Berlin album, but forgot all the words after the first verse. She quickly improvised new lines and a scat solo, keeping up perfectly with the rhythm section. The final cut was so good that she got a Grammy for it. This is, incidentally, why most performances of "Mack the Knife" are now largely incomprehensible: the song's origins as a murder ballad from Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill's Die Dreigroschenoper are now forgotten by singers who sing it as an opportunity to mention everyone else who's ever sung it. | |

Part of the reason Eric Matthews on Boy Meets World went through heavy flanderization was to utilize Will Friedle's improv skills by having Eric do crazier and crazier things. In "Seven the Hard Way", Will asked the prop department for a lollipop on a string which led to one of the series funniest moment of Eric pulling a lollipop out of his beard and licking it. | |

It is rumored, but not true, that Johann Sebastian Bach improvised most of his fugal works. Bach was a genius improviser, able to improvise three-part fugues, and once did so on command for Frederick the Great, but while a few of his fugues might be written-out improvisations, most of them were through-composed. | |

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl: A lot of Jack Sparrow's mannerisms were not actually written into the script, but improvised by Johnny Depp. Sparrow's epic ending line "Now, bring me that horizon" was also an improv. In fact, Depp's whole demeanor differs greatly from the creators' original vision of the character; he was intended as a far more conventional dashing rogue. When Depp interpreted the character differently, Michael Eisner even went so far as to say he was ruining the film. Depp's response was essentially "Trust me or fire me." Depp said himself that he chose to add the 'campness' as he thought that the other actors applying for the role were better than him. He chose to just go crazy and have fun. He also claims that his portrayal of the character has liberal doses of Keith Richards mixed in. (And then Keith Richards was cast as Jack's father. Win?) Apparently the reference to Will being a eunuch was also an improvised line that was kept in the script, and expanded upon as a Running Gag. |

One of the most famous comedy line improvs appeared in the movie Wayne's World. During a scene where the main characters Wayne and Garth are sitting atop their car watching airplanes take off, when suddenly Garth asks a strange question: As it turns out, the entire exchange was improvised. Dana Carvey visibly snickers right before asking the initial question and Mike Myers bursts out laughing after responding. The director decided it was too funny to cut and so left it in the final version. |

In the film of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (as opposed to the TV series) this also comes up in what is probably the film's single genuinely funny scene. Buffy stakes the Big Bad's second in command. The scene as written simply required Paul Reubens to say "You're gonna wish you died" and then slide out of shot. Which he did. And then, two seconds later, stood up again with stake still in his chest, putting on a bunch of fake but hilarious "ah, ooh, eee, ah, ooh!" noises and even looking directly at Swanson for one second before going off at it again. The fact the shot was ad-libbed is clearly visible in Kristy Swanson and Rutger Hauer's faces: Swanson turns to someone offscreen as if querying what's going on — and the shot cuts to Hauer, on whom another camera was already rolling, and who has a vaguely amused look on his face and who shrugs as if to say "Just roll with it." Which they did, and the shot stayed in. A part of the performance even got into a postcredits sequence. | |

Along the same lines, the Australian series Thank God You're Here (which also aired versions in the USA, UK, and several other countries) tossed a celebrity into a scene that started with the title line, and provided only the set design and costume to give them any clue what their character was and what they were doing. The show was mostly improvised, with certain scripted touchpoints for the cast to hit to try to steer the scene in a particular direction. | |

Ghostbusters (1984) is famous for blurring the line between ad libs and scripted dialogue, with nearly half the dialogue cited as ad libs by the cast. Examples include the famous "Twinkie" scene, Peter's response of "so do I" when Egon says he blames himself for not testing their proton packs, and Egon's response of "that would have worked if you hadn't stopped me" when Peter refers to a Noodle Incident involving Egon trying to drill a hole in his head. Sigourney Weaver's ad libs include comparing Peter to "a game show host" (the original line was "a used-car salesman", but she observed that he actually bounces around like a game show host), and much of Rick Moranis's dialogue as Louis welcomes people to his party is improvised. | |

Genesis had, by 1983 especially, recorded their albums "clean slate" (i.e.: no pre-written material) simply by jamming and improvising in their private studio, often using minimal sketched ideas or riffs by one of the band members (guitarist/bassist Mike Rutherford once claimed in a TV documentary he sometimes isn't even told what key to play in), collecting the best ideas from the jams to make songs from. This even extended to writing lyrics out of the words and phonetics Phil made up on the spot while singing melodies over the jams. Apparently this was done as the bandmembers felt most of the magic from previous albums came from group-written jams, and they wanted to maintain a group dynamic and collective spirit. | |

In Transylvania 6-5000, much of the scene between John Byner and Carol Kane preparing the lunch was improvised. The script's only direction was 'cut fruit and serve'. | |

Jones may have had more respect for the script of the The Fugitive, but he did the same thing while filming it—ad-libbing what became his character's defining line (and the film's most famous)—"I don't care!". And the fugitive himself, Harrison Ford, deliberately did not learn the lines for the scene where he's interrogated by the police, wanting his responses and reactions as their questions and attitude change from helpful to hostile to be as realistic as possible. | |
