The Edinburgh Big Freeeeze

[katiex95x]

you look like alex turner so much in your older videos!

[MegaBbz123]

The big freeze looks just amazing

[DoctorKuehl]

Found ya! And it was because of your maroon converse too! XD

[ImogensImagination18]

This is brilliant. Who thinks of these genius plans?

[Intothemoooon]

So I found you through Nerimon. I'm just so glad, because I was terribly saddened by the fact that I'd never see David Tennant as the doctor again. You know, since the 10th doctor is done now.

But watching you is somehow almost as good! LMAO

[BarelyLauren]

Before I actually watched the video, I assumed it had something to do with the weather. Which is why your video 'Easter Egg' got me a bit confused because I didn't know weather could even suggest pain in one's shoulder... I was just being odd. I wanna do this at my school. Everyone would freak:D

[LifeMustard]

My eyes started watering because you weren't blinking.... Humans are so odd. :)

[charlieishisownform]

Loving the music with the guy in the blue... <3 :)

[bloodninja2000]

I watched another video of this and i saw you!

youtube(dot)com(slash)watch?v=­RONM_WhAp9Q

at 4:37

[AlexAmyGilbert]

I love it :)

[TennantJunkie1993]

What the Barty Crouch Jr.? Also, as a response to the music, so Doctor Who!

[missinterpreted65]

I can see the pain in your eyes, Liam.

[aprilizabeth]

why are people taking photos when you know it will just look as you took a photo of a random, not someone standing dead still randomly :D

[dragoncharm1]

Just imagine you're staring at a Weeping Angel. You don't dare blink then!

[doctorwhogirl666]

hi have been to forbidenplanet? its in edinburgh and its the best doctor who/si-fi shop in scotland!:)

[DaisyRoseLily]

i was there!! i can even spot myself on your vid, haha good times!!

[bunniesandbooks]

well ur prepared if the weeping angels ever come

[saturnstargirl]

That song playing in the background made this whole thing even funnier. Although, my favourite part was "I appear to have lost 5 minutes."

[gueswhathappened]

OMG that was great! and lol you not blinking made you look EVEN MORE like David when he plays the doctor :D

cheers

[ghoulia21]

its wally in australia too

[SaveTheEmpire6]

I've tried holding a camera through a football match. No fun. You have my sympathy.

The freeze thing seemed to be pretty popular. NY had a nice one going in grand central.

improveverywhere [dot] com/2008/01/31/frozen-grand-ce­ntral/

They have some pretty nice poses there.

[losroftheday]

I bet this would look brilliant as part of a Doctor Who episode. A birds-eye view of Edinburgh, with NO ONE moving... Ah...

[way2cool4schoolgirl]

LMAO! Standing there with a blank look on your face. GENIUS!!!

[Twilightcrazy4ever]

haha ai love this video! i also love the guyin the banna suit (why?) and the guy in the blue looked at you like you were crazy :)

[TheDevilguy676]

littleradge, "Don't blink don't move, blink and your dead"

[HeWhoLaughsAtAll]

@TheDevilguy676 Doctor Who is awesome!

[AvidMusiQBukworm]

Way to steal Doctor Who music... ♥♥

[lawlietlover20]

lol! at like, 5 mins in you look like your photo shopped in lol.

[IQuiteLikeTheQueen]

why was that man dressed as a banana? :D xxx

[crazycupcakefan]

DONNAS SONG lmfao OMG that wz so cool

[HavenDweller]

Oh, I wish I could be part of a group like this. I've had to stand at attention for hours, I could easily not move for five minutes.

[Kimberleeyx]

It looks brill!

Is there one this year cos i really want to go??

Happy New Year :) xoxoxo

[aCreativePeace]

Im actually planned one of these to promote improv and my drama club at school i sooooo cant wAIT!!!!

[FolieAMoi12]

This actually reminds me of The Rise Of The Cybermen. You know when everyone stops and get's the downloads into their heads.

That woulda been so cool if someone happened to be doing this with a bluetooth headset on!

[MrMonkeyballs1]

@FolieAMoi12 or two

[xSophieSkittles]

if i tryed standing still for 5 minutes, id end up laughing my head off :D

[hotbot43]

i wish Cape Breton had something like that.

[fizzymascara]

lol that orange jacket nearly burned my retinia

[AnonimosArtist]

I want so badly to do that here, but I don't know enough people for it to work.... me and a few friends occasionally did it at school during break or lunch, but we got yelled at, so we stopped...

[giveitsomepizazz]

I didnt even know this happened! Man I love Edinburgh.

[IainDoc15]

i would have loved to have seen the reaction when people just randomly start moving again

[pinkhottie23]

Brown eyes!

but then when you blinked and that tear came out (lol) they turned GRAY!! lol, funny, you look quite pale, I showed my brother he says "thats rubbish y bother doin a big freeze when ur already freezing outside!?"

lol

[zapxlib]

Meditation and contemplation will make your feat even more perfect. After all we are a shadow of a higher dimension moving in a state of trance... The feat was good!. Nice try!.

[helow98]

So, how about that banana guy.... Hahaha, did you ever found out? I bet his sis' is called Chiquita LOL. Oh and no way, I can't stay 5' without blinking! But the Doc said never blink, I guess I'm outta of this time LMAO!

[LotsOfLovelyLol]

Omg i could never do that. I love moving too much

[Fuzzabeth]

OMG I WAS THERE!....i just wish you could have been there the same i was...:(

[missloss173]

lmao " I want to know why that man is dressed like a banana." Heeheehee

[xlessxthanx3x]

that's like improv everywhere. did they organize it?

[0honey0U]

kudos...when r they havin another one?!

[NCFChazza]

BAANNNNANNNNNNNNAS

[45stillalive]

ha ha ha dude, i found you on the big one because i was bored. ^_^ it was fun your hilarious.

[MissyHeart2009]

Omg. I remember doing that. Seriously awesome though I kinda had needed to go to the rest room after a couple of minutes... hahaha. *embarrassed*

[lalaluva]

That was totally awesome!! If only something like that could happen in Australia =)

[CamilledeBoisTracy]

This vid has made me want to go to Scotland more than ever.

What is the creation story behind this event?

[likeme188]

this is so freaking awesome !!

id love to do something like that !

lulz

[vampiregazer]

oh, haha, i was just thinking too, you're eyes get REALLY big when you dont blink, im craclking up

[vampiregazer]

the blue guy is annoying me. i dunno why, he just keeps looking at the camera...GASP he wanted a shot!! *withering glare at blue guy*

oh wells ^^

[lilemokid2]

my big sister goes to Edinburgh University and she knows thatb guy in the blue that was behind u!!! lol

[Sam4God]

'i want to know why that man is dressed... like a banana!' LOL LOL LOL

[WilliamsWarloft]

wooooo The young David Tennant?!??!?!

[alphabravo911]

Shun the non believer!

[littleradge]

Of all the videos you could have chosen to use the "when u eventually leave ur bedroom" insult, you picked the one where I'm out in the street. Gold star for you, kiddo. Your parents must be proud.

[worthlesspeon13]

LOL. Right on radge. Cut the haters down to size

[alexbarbour747]

Haha yeah, what a retard, he can also get a blue peter badge from me.

[thetwobrians]

this guy is so full of himself, he is totally up his own arse, loves the sound of his own voice and with expressions like 6.00 id like to smack him from stirling to dundee...plus id an ugly lil poker face...nuff said

[mattdot666]

Sorry to advertise but

There is another two flashmobd in Edinburgh: On March 6th > Waverly station @ 19.00.

On March 7th > St James steps @ 12.30

Loads of people are meeting in Waverly, plugging in their Ipods and dancing for as long as possible. Same thing on Saturday except out the front of St.James centre.

Find the Facebook pages for more info. Search Facebook for : Edinburgh Silent Disco.

Come along bring as many people as possible. It will be amazing

[kmeske]

I want to know why that guy is dressed like a banana also!

[kcecil5789]

It looked cool but wat was the point?

[sobz1994]

I live in Edinburgh too! lol x

[lander1228]

i totally would have done that that would have be awsome to be apart of!!!!!!!

[OriginalRopeAngel]

Why did the people gather? Yeah the shot of you was cool. The guy on the cell sucked. lol eyes blink, embrace it. Make it work. I could see Federico Fellini getting into this. Only he embraced the odd, and how the body works as well as the heart, mind, soul, and the child within. I want to see more of what you do :-)

[sahadlich90]

What a cool thing to do! I should totally start that here in Minneapolis!

[hpswtrke42]

awesome how you just stopped midsentence...and the guy joining in-totally ruins it for sure

[CFCRockAngel]

Haha! That was hilarious!! Yours eyes looked as if they were going bloodshot from not blinking!! lol xD Fair play to you! ^ ^

[Magnulus]

Flash Mobs are bloody awesome. I always wanted to make one where everyone starts having conversations with each other saying nothing but an animal of their own choosing. "Elephant, elephant, elephant." "Armadillo?" "Elephant, elephant!" "Aaaaah, Armadillo!" "Elepha-" "TIGER! Tiger tiger tiger." Best thing about it is that you could easily do it along Rose Street and Princes Street because it doesn't hinder people.

Also: Love how the camera angle droops more and more as you get further in.

[DaffBeckett]

haha radge that was awesome :D!!

[BalletDancer313]

i seen that but my friend refused to stand still i think we seen you x

shouldve said hiya tbh x

it was too cold to stand still if we had it wouldve literally been a big freeze kwam ?

[ihuxo]

Ah! Thats amazing! Would have been somthing fantastic to be a part of!

I Cant believe i never heard of it! I was in scotland then too. what a bummer! haha

Was it youtube organized?

[TheEyeOfHarmony]

How did you not break down into fits of laughter?

[BrizyComics]

I love the way you just picked up talking into the camera after and continuing your blog as if nothing had even happened! Classic!

[timegirl95]

man u europeans are the bomb! lolz seriously though i wish i was from england, i dunno y, i just do. y wuz tat dude werin a banana suit? "save the banana! why? it's a good source of potassium!"

[crubbish123]

u dont want to it rains all the time its cold and its full of chavs

[CynthiaCicci]

blinking is totally easy lol but im surprised you heldyour camera up that long :D

[halloweensorachan]

Haha that was amazing, I'm so going to organise one where I live! Thanks for sharing :)

[lainrosier]

This is really interesting. I kinda found it hard to understand at first but it is really amazing that you had a chance to participate in this. Great vid! Thanks for sharing it!

[Pikkonin14]

The banana guy looks like the florescent branch of the KKK...LOL

[bornonthesideofahill]

this was fun to watch:D

[LORNA5231]

Haha! Wish I'd done it now! :( Well done you.

[Bombalurina600]

Man I love Edinburgh

[shazam15]

I SAW THAT ONLINE! they did it in NYC too. fantastic.

[montypython203]

Good on ya for doing it!

[zaccatac]

AHHHAA it took me 3 views but i watched the original video until i spotted orange jacket guy, banana dude, you, and waldo! great job though!

[Galescott]

Watched the big freeze vid of edinburgh and got linked to your account for some reason.

Looked awesome. Ill watch out for the next one in edinburgh :]

[melodyhellyeah]

was the bana guy taking a piss?

[vivsmiles]

haha the guy in the blue behind you LOL.

[sevensassy]

u totally cracked me up!

we did this in Melbourne Australia recently.. the first turned out great but the second was in a small location..so way too many pple at like 2,000 :S crazy crowded... hoping the next one will b beta organised cos its such a cool idea! :) you did great btw.. ur poor arm tho lol and that guy behind u did ruin it.. looser.. lol

[mardespumas]

Hey, that was cool!!! I wish I can enjoy a flashmob one of this days!

Great!

[kylielovescole]

I want to know why that man is dressed like a banana also. Aww, your poor eyeballs look like they hurt :(

[parabecks]

omg i didnt know how u did that radge! geeze...n them other peeps walking past ya i would of just failed by laughing or something.

[kbklynish]

You did an amazing job! I couldn't have held my arm up like that for so long. And finishing your sentence was great too. Also, did you ever find out why that man was dressed like a banana? lol.

Have you seen the youtube video of the one in Grand Central, NYC? It's hilaaaarious because the unmoving people trapped a guy in a little trolley and he's trying to radio in for help and he says, "The people! They've stopped moving!" Hahahahaa

[ToothandClaw14]

This is a favourited video because we get to look at you for a long while.

The moving people suck.

[gxs22654]

man that looks harder than the first Super Mario Brothers.

[EdnaxScissorhands]

Your poor nose looks cold :(

[EllzC0]

our arm sloooowly got lower :L

[BUFFTINGBAYBEE]

Hey Look Who I Found! Its Wally!! Classic!

[mccaramba]

i am in edinburgh and think you did quite well until you told me someone had done better! I havent been in Europe for ages & i would never have known.If i hadn't i would say you were alittle twee but overall i enjoyed yours more than the others.Not as good as the flashmob in princes st in 95 though! imagine the whole of edinburgh rock taking off...

[SDvsRaw2008Fan]

Unfortunatly I have no idea what this event is about, someone care to Elaborate?

[kbklynish]

Look up "Frozen Grand Central" on Youtube ... it might be the same type of thing, though not in connection with the "Improv Everywhere" organization specifically.

[jellypeanutbutter666]

Fantastic! 'I appear to have lost five minutes'

[trustytimelord]

hahah great, "A tear, Look I just made this a piece of art" lmao

:D Hope Ya Had Fun!

[doctorwhoinsane]

loving the music you use, i wonder where that came from!

[haggler]

go cassinis!!

[HoshiHikari]

"I'm in the middle of Edinburgh "???????" there and-(FREEZE)-me and my cousin for a coffee later on..."

Hnaaaa. :)

[SoILoveCheese2011]

*takes out phone*

[AlchemicxInferno]

I did the bg freeze in London, didn't bring a camera though so Kudos to you for freezing with camera in hand

[247findmehere]

[ladyjeanne07]

Yeah, the guy in light did mess it up, didn't he? I hate when people do that!

[YourMomsUHz0mbie]

[0oLunaDragon0o]

[YourMomsUHz0mbie]

from the video it seems that they just "freeze" for five minutes but i just wanted to know why they do it, etc

i guess i just worded my question incorrectly

[0oLunaDragon0o]

[XxRfizzlexX]

[Hydebehindthemask]

Just thought of this: Don't blink! Don't even blink!

lol

Also, my mom said that when she was in college she and ten of her friends were in a train station and then all just stopped and looked up at the ceiling. Everyone around them stopped too. Maybe she and her friends started this all lol =p

[Hydebehindthemask]

I want to know why that guy is dressed as a banana as well lol

[optimisticrabbit]

improveverywhere is amazing. we did a freeze and now I might be taking over the group here because the person who started it has now stopped. I'm excited!

[mypersonscool]

[julieobrien]

Music from the first episode of the new series of Doctor Who : (y)

I'm such a dork xP

[eveSAVIDGE]

What is that, Donna's theme?

Anyway. Since there isn't anything cool and inspiring like that out here as far as I know of, I think... I might need to organize one.

Well, when summer's ended. Five minutes out in this heat, and you feel your face start to melt off. Or YOU GET A WICKED SUNBURN THAT STINGS FOR SEVEN YEARS. (curses!)

[azukar8]

You've done a Big Freeze!

That is fifty kinds of awesome - there's one in Sydney in like three weeks' time. I am so going to it.

[chuckwooding]

possible btard? Kind of want...?

[gillygonebarmy]

Omg you look so much like David Tenennt and on the plus side you have the cool accent to match, that was such an amazing idea to film it your great :D xx

[Blueaveo3568]

Liam- you rock for being part of one of these. You did a great job!

[orphenia21]

Looks like mad fun. There was going to be one in Sydney I was considering going to, but had that little thing called uni on, so I didn't!

Forget blinking, I wouldn't be able to not laugh. And I have a LOUD laugh. Fail, right there.

[c13diz]

I think you did very well! That guy is a COPYCAT!!! The camera was sloooooly drooping. Haha. Good on ya. Hooroo

[reggie017]

hope your arms better ...lol

[RequiemForADream412]

Yet another reason to move to Scotland...

I'd love to take part in one of those. Looks... fun? Er, cool? Is that a good word? Yeah, sure.

[dovertocalais]

don't blink!

you should know better, honestly.

[RubyeyedDragon]

haha! awesome, my friend arranged one in bristol! it was pissing it down and only a few people did it! funny though.

[ThatEnglishGirl111]

I love these!

It would be great to do in Auckland!

[studentdotcom]

What a brilliant idea! I love it.

[sashc777]

[BrianLeeUSA]

[HoshiTski]

That was amazing! :D

[WhatMakesALiam]

I wish I was there, man. There was on in America in a train station (in my favourites, me thinks) and it looked awesome. That's quite a small place in Edinburgh... they could have picked a more effective place, me thinks!!

Nice video, dude. :)

-Liam x

[duanewilliams]

Cool event

[nj106]

he looks like doctor who

[SpiderCT]

Hi the radge, just to let in on a little secret, there were Bigfreezez all over the Uk, we did one in brighton a couple of days after the London one. As far as I know they were all organized by the same group.

Cool though.

Spidey

[Jendub13899]

dude, you fuckin' crack me up. I luv it!

[CoffeeShopPunk]

That is the most amazing thing ever.

[batmanvsgravity]

Haha that's really awesome. People done generally walk around a lot here, but if they did I would try to do that in my town.

[mongoos150]

Sounds like SO much fun! Hope Glasgow has something similar...
