Flash Mob "Worshiping the Purdue Engineering Fountain"

[andrew14carlson]

love the guy at the end, "what is the purpose of all this??" lol

[kidrock1109]

ha fat kid on 0:52

[eggsandwich8885]

FLASH MOB'S DON'T HAVE WHISTLE SIGNALS! The point is to give the impression of random strangers doing something coordinated, and yet leaving roughly 1-5minutes later as if nothing happened without signals that would give away such impression. Noobs...

[snickwah79]

HYSTERICAL. Move over Meca West Lafayette has just rocked your world.

[chrissweeneysphone]

Kinda what you would expect from Purdue students, not much there between the ears

[theneb29]

running through the fountain was part of being at Purdue. Did it, loved it - 2006 alum

[Sage3Oswald]

This looks like a monument to a god any way so funny. They worship watter.

[OldPersonal]

-.-'

[hmghosthost]

Fools will be fools.

[loganpaulmuller]

Puck Furdue, Go Hoosiers Enigineering fountain. pfft

[frozenmatt]

@loganpaulmuller

IU has engineering?  hahah

[Rylee2010]

IU rejected me, which i still don't understand considering i have a 3.0 and 1650 on SAT`s. idk. my dad said that their standards have gone way way up!

[schoedan]

@Rylee2010 School are doing weird shit lately. I was rejected from a school I was very qualified for also, yet my friend got accepted when his grades, extra curriculars, AND SAT score were all lower than mine. Just move on, if they don't want you, it's their loss.

[Rylee2010]

@schoedan yeah it's whatever. I'm gonna go with U of I for now and then maybe transfer. but who knows? maybe i`ll end up falling in love with U of I.

[schoedan]

@Rylee2010 Yea, just make the most of it. Plus, none of the tier-one universities are head and shoulders above any other. I'm dealing with a quite depressing outcome for me also, because I couldn't go to my first choice school simply due to money and geography :(

[Rylee2010]

@schoedan yeah it sucks =/ but i just keep telling myself i have to do what i need to get what i want. so U of I for right now and then who knows. i hope everything works out for u though! :]

[boulderchick3]

soooo funnny!!!!!!!!!!! lol oh university!

[Buababa]

funny! xD

[Rylee2010]

whooo Purdue ! i applied there a couple months ago so hopefully i make it ! :]

[fastdancer77]

I hope you do to.

[kinsmed]

2 hundred students. 1 camera.

[bKiwiD]

I agree- Stop it with the whistle signals!!!

One of the coolest parts of a flashmob is the appearance of random strangers coming together to do something coordinated, and then randomly dispersing as if nothing's happened; when they're all obviously obeying whistle signals, they look like part of some club or group. Not the same effect at all!

[Sottho92]

@bKiwiD the beginning should be subtle, like just one guy yelling "oh fountain, protect us from the zombie hordes of hell!!" and then the rest worship the fountain

[Woopee]

oh man. Don't start and end it with a whistle. That just so much destroys it all!

[bratislavaBratzk]

reminds me of the game "black and white" nice^^

[skylin3gtr013]

haha funny stuff...i'm at purdue and last week i heard shouting outside my dorm window. Turns out there was a huge pillow fight at like 11 at night out there lol

[crowamonghens]

geek humor is the best. wonder if my little nephew was there.

[Kerisa]

Okay, that is kinda funny.

[baBristow]

so funny

[dinner2dr]

team work :D

[jpickles]

Engineers what would they think of next?

[striker10mf]

Everybody should be bowing down to engineers.

[sharperguy]

"what is the purpose of all this?"

[luism88]

NONE. Thats the point

[killaed09]

To establish that purdue is the shit

[TheRocketVoltage]

I like the design of the fountain. But I have to be honest, the whistle really gave everything away and made it so obvious.

[Ezm23]

awesome ^

[TaoProductions]

ROFL

[MESHSTARS]

that's amazing!!!!!!!!!!

[MrBigStuff456]

i used to run through that fountain in my swimsuit, i dont think its allowed anymore though.

[FallingStuffy]

Running through that fountain was banned when I was down there - 2001

[Milton987]

my God how lame.

[KyndestKid]

This is hilarious, and as a Purdue Alumnus I can't stop laughing....great idea engineers!! :)

Check out this cool video from a house party during Grand Prix 2009

[atlien276]

lets face oit, the thing looks like a huge altar...might as well.

[skylin3gtr013]

lol hilarious

might go here next year

[Padgham]

Go Hoosiers

[ABDNflashmob]

Haha video made me chuckle. We tried a freeze mob in Aberdeen:

watch?v=4fmR677_-1k

[ccdesan]

This is supremely awesome. Oh, how I would love to go back to college...

[ReptilesRock2007]

why the hell would you want every muslim to feel offended about this? I certainly didn't. Please think before you post.

[robertkjjj]

HA HA I hope every Muslim on the planet feels offended by this, somehow. That would rule.

[spinaltap32]

Where's Obama? I couldn't see him!

[f16c5212345]

meh... 5/10. good idea, but they sound like crazed zombies.

[lowndessooner]

fucking awesome!!! lmao.

[vipey1337]

I was totally going to be a part of this but it interfered with a class I had to go to :( Gah

[pythonbob71]

is this an Obama rally?

[vipey1337]

ROFL

[Soonerborn03]

Would have been better without the big whistle, but I still laughed.

[TheNilvarg]

Fountainu Akbar!

[loafy3112]

I laughed until I cried! xD

[dragonballzgt1989]

i didn't cry but i came pretty darn close XD

[jckid1]

i dont think they are making fun of muslims people. they are just using the most well-known stereotype of worshiping something.

[RoddersBoyfriend]

I love seeing MORONS that think this is about mocking Muslims! I bet you think you are college educated too! ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[jeffroultra]

I wouldn't think making fun of Muslims like this would be tolerated on a university campus.

[TheNilvarg]

Burn in hell, hippy.

[jeffroultra]

Since you obviously lack the requisite intelligence to offer a witty reply it's no wonder you aren't smart enough to understand sarcasm. Pity.

[TheNilvarg]

Since you obviously haven't been on the internet more than a few hours in your life and have not yet learned that sarcasm is difficult to convey in text, it's no wonder that you'd make such an idiotic reply.

[froggleggers]

some people need to get a life.

[Skandranon2148]

This is my favorite of all the flashmobs I've seen, including the ImprovEverywhere ones. It's just hilarious. Great job!

[Raluquita]

I find this retarded... And I don't care about the replies nor the thumbs down :P It's just my opinion.

[IAmaPersion]

I agree. These flashmobs now are just to simply gain attention and so people can get more of it here on YT.

This was laaaame!

[despy12d]

that's funny:))

[thingamajig89]

funny idea =)

[joane619]

i remember this fun day

[OOMPHband1]

genial

[ETWirt]

must be more seriously

[thewoodscall]

LOL

[DrifterMW]

looks like Black and White 2 :D

[Milton987]

How lame. No wonder Purdue students spend four years smoking weed and drinking.

[Darkknarf]

stfu

[helldamnfart]

doh, this is after they put up that stupid condom thing over the fountain, now you cant even run through it properly! rip that mother fucker down, then worship the REAL fountain! there hasnt even been a good riot since my freshman year.

[scept31]

Could have been cooler without the whistle, but it was awesome nonetheless.

[usaroxy19]

simple, and really good!

[KyndestKid]

This is awesome.... Simply Priceless!!! :)

[LibZnowCrew]

nuttin special, just stupid

[eidsvig]

allah akbar derkah

[rriturajg]

THAT WAS FRIGGIN' STUPID!!!!!!!!

[slowwukwai]

i totally participated in this. one of the coolest things i've done at purdue.

oh and check out my latest vid to see why purdue rocks. it's not ur usual admissions recruiting BS

[icefenix11]

That's priceless =) ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY ENGINEERING FOUNTAIN! Oh Engineering Fountain, please help me pass this Physics 152 exam, for it is the bain of my current class schedule! Haha, ahhh... the good ol' days on campus. If only the bible-beaters carrying around signs and calling people whores were around to see that instead of being on the Mall... bet they'd flip.

[Riken]

LOL

[Sectorsophia]

Well done! Very original idea for a flashmob!

[Sophiieleiin]

Einfach Geil :D

[SoMahn]

love the sound effects

[HOLLYYY01]

hahaha !!

[5687678]

God would be a engineer because that shit is too hard.

[FruitySweets]

wtf..middle you make no sense...

[tollboothjason]

All hail t3h mighty engineering fountain! LMAO that was friggin' awesome.

[bijal18]

wicked nice idea might do this in me area

[middienumba10]

Wait, so in "your" area or "me's" area? Because I'd hate to break it to you, "me" doesn't put up with that shit.

[DarrenKahan]

well if your going to get all proper then saying "me" instead of "my" isnt classed as "shit", its classed as "mispronunciation"

dick

[bijal18]

Thanks..for that..DarrenKahan

Middiennuma10 I meant "my" not "me" but people should get it..so bogof.

[lickmyclass]

get a life

[GTavalanche2rider]

wow

this is sad

people do faggot shit like this

i guess they were outcasts in grade school

so they do this "to feel cool" and "in"

[stlvideo08]

Wow lighten up...You missed the point.

[AnonNov]

Or they wanna have fun while they can

[straightupBO]

They should have surrounded somebody and did that to them. That would have been hilarious.

[Starhorn]

What is a flash mob? Date on this?

[sodacan187]

A flashmob is basically a bunch of people doing something similar in public. For example, maybe 100 boys running down a school street swinging their shirts off. Date? Dunno.

[mitjek]

hahahahaha :D wuuuuuuu

[afroloewe]

this is absolutely in-fucking-sane and that's why I love it :D

[JoeAcid69]

hahaha...very very funny...i like that.

[CascataAriana]

Man want to organize a flash mob!!!

[Lilif87]

this is awesome!! the best i have seen since yet XD!! HAHAHAHA

[therealscl]

This is pointless. I'm glad I don't go to Perdue.

[riskitake]

this is classic!! absolutely amazing!!

[haaalls]

jajajja

[wernox87]

How do you run through it with that big cylinder there? When I was a student we ran trough once a week

[froggy8765]

Purdue rocks! I lived there for most of my life, and I remember going to that exact place a million times when I was little...

[richsouce3]

it was alright

[bmassb00]

Oh, my gosh! That was so great!

Purdue dominates once again! lol!

[tipytipytipy]

I agree onn losig the whistle, and I agree that this one is really fun to see!

[mpmcd81]

That's hilarious. I visited campus for the first time today for a faculty interview. Great place to be. Bright folks, very friendly, and, obviously, with a real sense of humor.

Someone explain to me now why robots will never have sex. LOL

Boiler Up!

[TulangKaruk]

since when did this happen.....i'm lookin forward to see one at my place....i heard they were doing it this sunday....i'm hopin someone would upload it....

[TulangKaruk]

this was the best one!!!!

[mikeofcetacea]

HILARIOUS. Thats all.

[mentholhead]

Have just looked through all the flash mobs I could find on here and this is the best yet. Brilliant, wish it was a few seconds longer to see everyone walk away and the reaction on those left behind.

Love it!

[brendanwl2]

gay

[carlotta4th]

I like the idea and the way it turned out. Next time, lose the whistle and have them all do it at a specific time and stop at a specific time.

The running guys were the best, because they made it appear more spontaneous than the people who were already standing there waiting for the whistle.

[LloydGenis]

nah just do the signal like wave hand or somewhat that what for those who are "not in" would be just a gesture.

[kvanvelz]

I am in this...I saw myself!

Boiler up!

[zedy87]

omg hahaha, probably one of the funniest flash mobs I've seen! the weirder, the funnier, and worshipping a fountain is very weird!

[bigspartans17]

ahahahaha

[Msphere]

hey i just got accepted there! man tht is the funny shit ever. im gonna try 2 do a flash mob at my high school.

[nurselynnn]

this is the funniest shit i've ever seen!!!! i love it!!! randomness rules!!!!

[LaxNasty]

I love flash mobs.

[colwell37]

good one

[BunnieofWrath]

and now i know what the hell everyone was doing at the fountain right then. insane!

[waggabiggadoo]

they make good zombie sounds really

[Knightshield]

you can see that fat guy's butt crack in the end

[Edwinem2k]

Yeah, the whistle made it not that good. I would be better to have some random event trigger it or a specific time...

But still, you have to respect the idea...;)

[MbeeTeen]

yeah, i agree, it ruins a lot of it...

[maeuschen22]

yea all the flashmobs that have whistles almost defeat the whole concept cos then people know it was all organised, if you want to see some really good ones look up improveverywhere they have some pretty amazing ones

[tehleper]

you've gotta love all the people who pretend nothing is happening, and just keep walking.

[Airlight]

"What is the purpose of all this?" - Man at end of tape.

[rspurdue]

I was in Materials Engineering lobby/cafe when this happened...I watched it start and finish. Naturally, I presumed it was freshman civil engineering students - worshipping concrete and steel for extra credits...

[sammyshoe]

All hail the engineering fountain!

[CincyKid3285]

thats why god sends all purdue grads to hell

[babybluebubblefairy]

lmfao

[wilsongat]

fucking gay!

[CohanDigitmatta]

that was shit

wtf is with the whistle?

[jak7116]

They use the whistle as a signal for the mobbers in the area to start the plan.

[CohanDigitmatta]

how inconspicuous

[vnano]

thats so stupid

[ahernra]

how else do you suggest?

[vnano]

a specific time + when someone starts, everyone follows. or something in the place that triggers it. a train coming for example. the whistle makes people think its organized

[ManiaReina]

Somebody was thinking about islam before??? there is 1000 different kinds of flashmob and they took the most idiotic one..I am not a muslem but I respect this religion...

[ikwilkijkenverdomme]

You sir ... are an idiot.

[snaz76]

I concur..

[vnano]

haha. they have theyselves to blame if they look this stupid

[KSlug]

Hahahah that was amazing!

[Guciacia]

Oh, fountain! xD

Flashmobs are awesome xD

[Dyedude22]

Really well done, good job yall. :]

[drewlfc27]

Brilliant stuff.

Now choose a proper president next year please

[keldaan]

You guys do the same, and lose that ridiculous accent please.

[cathyevey]

go boilers! haha

[jjlieb]

My school is going to do one like this with our fountain.

I love the guy in the paper hat. :P

[Sillefuckaduckfuck]

geil xD

[nognilk]

and in 30 years one of them will become president

[lilLeLuen]

pff i hope so, would be alot better then bush lol

[Jibeker]

It's a shame UT did this one before you guys. Next time be original.

[jillianstanton]

that was priceless my hod couldnt keep myself from laughing

[funcki]

hahaha! fukin hilarious, it was out of the blue...amazing lol

[simkyle]

i don't think so you stupid fuck. texas sucks ass

[o0oanh0o]

yeah,

you guys definitely copied UT.

[cablatore]

i classici americani....

[adamoliver52]

you're all a bunch of geeks. but i love it.

BOILER UP!

[BeatGR]

Rumor has it the fountain allows the student body to "boiler up" to the maximum capacity...
