[roland19hun]

[mebehold]

[rastaman24211]

[tomo12373]

train Performers

[diceman147]

[kryptonian700]

i would hate to catch a train in NYC !

[Cuauhtli47]

i like the mexicans singers better..

[link20098]

i saw these guys on the 4 train 2 days ago. they added a white guy to their crew tho.

[44deskin]

@link20098 yea they did i saw it like 2 weeks ago

[qzgoonie]

i think they cool

[thebiglilboy]

they suck so hard the kids started crying

[interstategar]

must have been a good smell in that car...

[tll1]

Everyone wants attention and a fast buck; when you get on the subway you want a ride, not a "forced" performance.This is absolutely the last damn thing that I want to see at the end of the day-2 hip hop jackasses with their boom box blairing going up and down the aisle.

[muzzer98989]

miserable twats on the train--lighten up



[brix4496]

this isnt performing, this is begging

[MountainQueen]

nice little gay move at the end.

[TheTracyPaul]

they made the baby cry. people are pretending to read. fail.

[mikrevvy]

DANGGGGGG

[HAYU571018031]

they made baby cry >:(

[slakker321]

LOL BBOYING IN THE SUBWAY

[AIgrim]

Attention whores...

[calye123]

this is quality, to do flips an dance moves like that on a moving subway takes skill, i think the people on the train need to stop being so ignorant an liven up, i went on the subway last week while i stayed in new york and found the subways to be as quite as a libary, i wish i seen some entertainment like this :D

[LittleNelly815]

i would've accidentally kicked someone in the face if i tried doin that.

[erreaperevolution]

fuk you blechke, this is the street

[TheYeasteatingwalrus]

The baby is crying for the same reason i would be....TWO BLACK MEN IN A SMALL ENCLOSED SPACE!!!! dont worry cause im black too white pepz

[thewomandirector]

Wow!

[jamialonnes]

looooooooool in train 2 wtf

[turquoise770]

this is from casting actually. this outtake is a little longer than what you'll see in the movie. and the fellow in the black w/ the beard is part of an undercover job with the black acrobats.. the dubbed in baby cry at :33 is actually an adult woman who gets paid a lot of $ to sound like that.

[kevlardude]

This shit should be prohibited in the subway! I see this shit in the subways almost everyday and I saw a few incidents where the dancer almost stomped on a baby or almost kicked an elderly woman! I don't mind seeing it in the streets but NOT in a subway with that many people so close! What if they actually injure someone like I saw some almost did?!

[kevlardude]

@kevlardude

This even goes against the rules about no loud music in the trains (as posted all over the trains)

[Aydee2020]

the jewish bastard is the coolest of em all!

[sublimechick571]

i would give these guys some of my bills fo sho....they are trying hard ...entertaining!

[CJ090]

look at this it looks more like a stereotype blacks break dancing corprates commuting and the random jew

[blechke]

I'm not saying they're not talented, but not everyone appreciates it because after a stressful day at work the last thing you want is someone blasting a radio in a closed subway car with someone jumping around with their feet missing your face by inches.

[InnocentSage]

Lol I highly doubt these people are coming home from work. In NYC? It'd be way more crowded. :)

[whatchutalkingbout]

@blechke

not to mention making babies cry too

[jagsdc21]

@blechke put a dildo in you assa and call it a day

[blechke]

@jagsdc21 take the one out of your mouth first.

[mrcorpsman123]

@blechke its better than robbing them then its a reely stressful day.

[blechke]

@mrcorpsman123 your right i should be thankful they're not robbing me! give me a break.

[tsireotmrad]

@blechke This would have made my day :)

[blechke]

@tsireotmrad you probably don't live in ny and take the subway everyday.

[bloodshye1]

@blechke Then get off at the next stop and let the rest of us enjoy their entertainment without the benefit of your complaints...*moving on*.

[blechke]

@bloodshye1 No i'm coming from work with something important to do you get the fuck off and let the rest of us ride in peace.

[Mega69yourmom]

Gotta love nyc

[radeon110]

hahaha i know that guy with the newspaper lol was trying harder to ignore them than actually read the paper

I know it

[IVIrIVIagic]

give em they money

[prosper58]

They made a baby cry xD

[jbres27]

It would be cool if they weren't doing this on the train, in such a small area. It would annoy me if I was riding on it.

[gnarly0guy]

LMFAO!!!!! look at the Amish person in the background

[GillianTom]

Why is everyone on the train so unappreciative? Those guys are great!

[NYTILLIFLY]

They're NEW YAWKAZZZZ that's why

[KarenisDestructive]

because we see the same ppl doing it for years, honestly. lol

[venkat884468]

sick spectators ...bastards

[omfgitzlito]

we see shyt like this everyday...to people that dont see it everyday its cool....

[Hirashirou]

0:26 best way to travel.

[dynomax3]

They always jump around in front of your face.. Fucking anoying...

[CoDPR0SniPeRx]

Lol thats funny knowone cares.

[SecretSquirrel2010]

As a New Yorker..... there is a reason what you see in this video is illegal. Yes, they scared the baby and that is why the baby started crying. .

Street performers can get a license and when they do they find out where they can and can't perform -- and on the train isn't allowed.

I will gladly open my wallet for a licensed street performer in an appropriate location, but never on the train. The people riding the train as if nothing is happeneing are doing the right thing.

[snapppp2]

@SecretSquirrel2010 well i have a question why do people always look at whats legal and whats illegal. instead of looking for that u should look at what truly art is. they arent doing anything wrong lol. now if they were selling drugs it would be a different story. idk why people put a crime on dancing and street performing its uncivil also so check yourself man. this is art homie!!

[SecretSquirrel2010]

@snapppp2 Maybe the first couple times you see stuff like this on the train it might seem like art. I see rather mediocre street performers creating a nuissance on the train. Even if they were better I'd still say it is too much of a nuissance and safety hazard to be appropriate.

[crazygirl94kc]

THAT WAS AWSOME!!!! i wanna see it again and wtf is it with the jew....he seems, statue lyk im tempet to nudge him to see if he would move lol

[momarcus]

monkeys

[LFercho]

LOOK AT THE JEW RIGHT THERE!!!!!

[KenneWilleJ1102]

wow

[6524bs]

@LFercho he's amish

[dodgeramracer]

@LFercho hahaha

[dackalac]

@LFercho hahahah that's my Uncle Bush! Philip Bush!

[TheScreamingRetard]

look at that prick guy on the left readin the news paper actin like theres nothin goin on hahah loser

[onesirian]

Steve, plz remove that vid response - that's the wrong one.

[thecaitlynoffical]

their audience didn't seem very amused. :( thats sad.

[shadowbud17]

I'm from chicago and riding the subway and being sealed underground in a smelly tin can with a bunch of strangers is uncomfortable enough. Having guys jump and flip around a foot in front of my face in the only open area left is something I wouldn't need. Its a cool act though and I'd check it out if it was outside. I think the baby cried because it almost got kicked in the face....

[ZoeMadam]

Thats the way it is in the New York.

[Spaceomatic]

Man, people there seem "thrilled"

[zbnawbc]

Man i used to see these guys literally everyday on the 6 and 4/5 sometimes. I spotted them on the 7 like 2 weeks ago. They usually have 3 or 4 people with them though.

[CrissySnow]

this is what makes nyc no other city like crazy fun

[roymaloydotcom]

No kidding - it breaks my heart that you guys are SO talented, and you're audience were reading a paper... TV has so much to answer for. Great skills guys!

[olopower]

haha, they made the babies cry xD

[youngninjaz]

The bald guy with the newspaper was just like "stop jumping around, and sit down." lol. XD

[YIPEE86]

More presentable what did you want them to wear business suits. HAHHAA... yall are tight

[Villageiddyit]

If they made themselves look more presentable they'd fine more money in their do-rags. Great performance for such a small space.

[Fablesarah]

beruhig doch mal jemand das baby

[motosportjunkie]

haha i wish i lived there it looks like a normal thing haha nobody even notices hardly lol

[franchboy]

i live in nyc and i hate it when street performers are on the train

[Sonnythemobster]

i geuss that if you grew up there or lived there for a while it would get tiresome. kinda like living in arizona for my whole life has pretty much made me dislike sunny days.

[JuJu828]

i love mah nyc!!!!!

[willy4u4u]

crazy jungle bunnies.

[ishebaearth]

Aint no place like home. NYC is so next level, lol!

[hemelos1978]

maan, if I woulda been there I'd given them $5 each, that was AMAZING...How did they go around the poles when rolling across the car!?

[cassandrabadie]

cut that crap out no one wants to see that crap

wow maybe if they were kind of good but they are just jumping over each other

reminds me of lindenwold nj jersey i am telling you all the people just sit there like zombies very quiet and still

[Chickenetta]

These comments on here have me in tears...'since when do the amish use public transportation?' hahah good stuff.

[artardG2]

the man isnt amish, he is a orthodox jew...

[artardG2]

i love how no one is paying attention

[licalikitta]

ahaha the baby screaming was pretty funny

[bamboozul]

ppl on the train just mind there on business lmfao!!!

[ducci13]

Nice- Way to roll around the floor of a NY subway train! Hope you have your hepatitis vaccines.

[Nyrthair]

Lol they made a baby start crying

[Kristiesarki]

the jew looks wierd and gay

[Xproletariatx]

You obviously havent been out of your small backward crosseyed country town. Most orthodox jews in NYC look like that. Explore the world for a change, youll learn a lot.

[bamboozul]

you must be a bagel nose then!

[Xproletariatx]

WTF is a bagel nose??? Geez, you whites think of the most ignorant shit to say about all types of national minorities. Whites have a offensive code word for every ethnicity. Why is that? How fucking immature and adolescent is that? Grow up idiot.

[cassandrabadie]

true but you can't find them anywhere but in ny so it is an understanable mistake why so harse

[theunit93]

oosh79 you just made because you wanna be licke them bitch

[theunit93]

shut up oosh79

[oosh79]

black people.lol.

[FuNkySpH]

shut the fuck up asshole

[oosh79]

stop hatin cause you kno im right.

[Xproletariatx]

^^^^^ LOL racist people!

[bluegrassgreensky]

that shit was sick

I throw a buck down

[qolspony]

This is how the black youths make money in NYC. How else are they to survive? Anyway, the dancing changed a little. Too much human interaction, unlike before.

[littleknight813]

The thing about street performers in New York is that there's just so many of them that you can't give them all money. And that's where tourists come in.

[LliasiAsbi]

Some people are just bitter. Those sour eggs just sitting there looking stupid, pretending they are so caught up in important affairs and deep meditation, they don't even deserve to see talent. Katette got it right; zombies.

[pieeater420]

Why Is No One Looking At Them????

[WhrsTheMoneyLabowski]

because people in NY are assholes. and if you don't look at them you don't have feel bad for not giving them money.

[mitchberry24]

its not just people in ny, there are street performers everywhere, and there are too many to give all of them money. besides, these guys shouldn't be performing on the subway, thats too dangerous, they should try to get a good job, or at least do their performance on the street instead of a moving vehicle

[Katette1982]

Ummm... See ppl on the train, they look like zombies... Well thats new york city for ya!

[coldcrush1]

learn to spell before you post

[melirose89]

haha i saw these guys on the train once

they were awesome!

[imarule]

once i was coming back from school on the 7 train in like new york and stuff and some weird guy comes stands right in front of me with like a mexican sombraro thingy and like a guitar and then starts singing and stuff and i was like what the hell?...

[kingofkards91]

Busking is very common in big towns. We do it for many reasons, attention, practice, and the assurance that we'll get a good crowd because the only ones who watch really want to see it so there's no hecklers.

[EMERALDAGEnet]

I love watching the perfomers from NYC too bad they don't live in a big town like Roanoke, VA!

[kingofkards91]

Their just afraid that the town will dissapear again...

[chaynsaw21]

Hahahaha! Very clever! I wonder how many other people understood that. ^_^

[kingofkards91]

They're really good, but it's actually illegal to perform a busking routine on a train or any place that an audience has no choice but to watch. In the station it's fine but not on the train.

[JAYIZCHILL]

haha, really?

thats hella funny, u can't force a person to watch u proform

[kingofkards91]

True, but all the same, it's regarded as harassment since they are a distraction that people will naturally be forced to watch, I didn't write busking law, I just work around it :) I'm a busker (street performer) and I'm so sick of all the laws regarding it because people see most of us as nothing but common beggars.

[chaynsaw21]

Aren't you though? Explain the difference, please. I'm just curious.

[kingofkards91]

A panhandler just sits there shaking his cup.  A busker EARNS thier money. It's really no different from a stage performer. You buy a ticket, which gives them money. Also, a panhandler does what he does because he's either lazy or has no choice. A busker does what they do because they love it.

[chaynsaw21]

I think it is different. If someone wants to see a show/act etc., they pursue it and buy a ticket. They have the choice to see it. Street performers/"buskers" perform in public so people see it whether they want to or not. It still doesn't seem the same to me. Anyway, in what way do you perform? What is your skill?

[kingofkards91]

Magic, escape, and comedy.

Oh, and after this post I'd rather not argue this further, but a huge reason we do what we do is because of this connection that you just can't get on a stage.

[Mindaugasx]

nice... realy nice

[azianbiatch]

wow dat wz pretty gud tough crowd tho... wts wrong wit dem?? so unappreciative!!

[giomol123]

cool break dance ;)

[BubblePants444]

since when did the Amish use public transportation?

[tahtahfornow000]

their jewish

[Tribulation725]

That's a Hasidic Jew, not Amish.

[somecleverword]

i love the trains

[DannxO]

they just make it unsafe for the people on the subways

[nittzzu]

stupid ignorant fools reading papers..good for nothing people ! the two guys are great !

[Nickelopelus]

u know why they ignore them? cuz if u watch they want money... i expierenced it myself in NY cty :S if u watch dey like...u watched gimme dem bucks

[kingofkards91]

No, they're ignoring them because they're New Yorkers.  I'm a busker (street performer) and usually if you don't politely ask for a tip you don't get one.

[coMpLekS1]

weak crowd

[MevseC]

lol baby crying
