I'm not saying it won't be good, but there's just nothing genius about it.

I'm speaking to the idea that when you improv each scene 4-5 times each, there's gonna be funny shit left on the editing floor. That being the difference- most takes are essentially the same thing.
Curb your Enthusiasm shoots like this also, based off a bone script of plot scenes and storyline. Louie CK's show has a bit more of a fleshed out dialogue, but will run improv scene takes for guys he thinks can actually bring something to the episode.
I'd love to see all the tons of film they have in the can over the course of show that's never seen the light of day because it didn't make final edit.
As a fan of the cast in general, all being funny guys, it's a cool idea to turn your outtakes into another cohesive full feature. Its a creative means of presenting additional content for those interested. That's all.
