- (Finebros) So what was happening in those videos?
- They're like-- they're flash mobs.
- They're kinda like flash mobs.
- Pranking the public.
- They had a bunch of people doing the same exact thing
in a public area.
- I believe it's called "Improv Everywhere."
- (Finebros) So let's dive into each one of them.
The musical one there: what was going on?
- They were singing about napkin-- like needing a napkin.
I don't even know.
- Their mission was to create a musical out of nowhere,
and it was a musical about needing napkins.
- And at first, I was like, "What?
Like, why is she singing right now?"
- And the thing that I love so much about it:
each time someone joins into it,
it's someone that you would least expect.
- She gets a napkin in the end. (imitates explosion)
- (Finebros) What about the one where people were frozen?
What did you think about that? - That was pretty crazy.
Like, people were like... "What's going on?"
- People were kinda freaked out. It was like Twilight Zone.
- I think, if anything, they looked annoyed.
Like, "I can't get through. What is going on?"
- It kinda reminded me of Inception kind of. I don't know.
There's like scenes in Inception where they're frozen.
- That one was my favorite one.
It was genius.
I'm inspired. I want to try something like that now.
- (Finebros) And finally, what was happening in the subway one?
- They were just taking off their pants, you know. No big deal.
- They took off their pants.
They took off their pants.
- The No Pants Subway Ride-- I love it so much.
- That one was just plain stupid.
Okay, those people were in tiny underwear
that went up their butt crack. And like, no. Nuh-uh, guys.
- (Finebros) What would you have done
if you were on one of these subway trains
and saw a bunch of people with their pants off?
- At first, I'd kinda be like, "What? WTF?"
- I would laugh.
- Because they're purposely trying to get a reaction out of me,
I'd just be like...
- I'd probably join in, to be honest with you.
- I'd start taking my pants off, you know?
I don't want to be the odd one out.
- I would probably be like, "Hey, pants-less party?
Woo! Let's go!"
- It has its positives and negatives,
'cause you can be sitting down
and some old hairy dude can sit next to you.
Or you might get really lucky, and Kate Upton is right there.
- (Finebros) So the group that does all these,
they call themselves "Improv Everywhere." - I've heard of that.
- (Finebros) Do you think it's okay for them to do these things
and disturb the public like this?
- I guess on occasions when nothing goes wrong, sure.
- It opens your eyes to another side of life.
- People get so set in their routine.
"I have to be at work on time. (mumbles)"
Adding a little spice, throw in a little paprika in there;
it's perfect.
- I don't really think you can stop it.
You can't arrest every single person that takes part in it.
Dozens of people with no pants in handcuffs--
that's a little bit more disturbing.
- (Finebros) Improv Everywhere is very popular.
What sets them apart from other prank-type videos?
- I think 'cause these are more elaborate.
- It's just amazing to see so many people coming together
to just to do one thing.
- Prank videos take advantage of people and could ruin their day.
Whereas Improv Everywhere typically--
I mean, it would make my day.
- (Finebros) Would you be interested
in joining Improv Everywhere?
- Maybe, but I wouldn't go out with any pants. [sic]
- Yes.
- Oh my god, yes.
- Yes, 'cause why not?
- Yes. Are they taking applicants or something?
Is that why you're asking me?
- Yes.
I mean, they do so much random stuff.
Like, how many people can say
they've been on a subway with their pants off?
Well, in New York, a lot, but that's not the point.
- (Finebros) And now that you've seen some of their missions,
are you gonna check out more of them? - Yeah.
- Oh yeah.
- Yeah, I'll definitely keep watching them.
- Yes. Definitely, yeah.
- Yes.
It makes me want to try new things
and communicate with people
and appreciate the moment that you have now,
because you're never gonna get that moment ever again.
