London Freeze 2008

[ArianedeCunha]

lol

[haksiel]

My friends and I do this thing where if we've been tying our shoes, or near the ground at all, when someone starts walking past, we'll get up and look around and start asking about where we are (like we just woke up there and have no clue about what's going on) and we get so many strange reactions.

[jamialonnes]

[indiestar91]

the guy with the mobile phone hanging in mid air, that was the coolest part.

[gucygucyyou]

It was much better to go and prepare for work not to steal from the people

[BRAJMUN]

[jennymph]

[boldertits]

London is so cool.

You won't see a greater diversity anywhere in the world.

[palantekida]

Its not freaky it was a minute silence of rememberance

[SouLakaZangetZu]

Please tell somebody ... What is the name of this song??

[kidcoolangot]

read the description.

[gengen625]

good video but they ruined it at the end by clapping an the conga...with grand central station they just carried on as normal wich made it alot better :P

[ryozaki92]

lolz that was cool!!! and kinda freaky O.o

[ritualcompleter]

very clever

[FSMonster]

The point of freeze is NOT TO CLAP at the end of it, instead, continue doing as if nothing happened. It's a great feat with that many people, however, Grand Central freeze is thus unmatched for this reason.

[jkaf8]

now they need to walk backwards

[chrismastere]

it's probaly Improv-Everywhere

[millyteaspoonsock]

ahhh i love it. good times.

[nathangyt]

r man i wish i waz dere i  would go 2 da center and start screaming!!!! whats wrong with u people!!!!!!! LOL

[Emu132]

Thats would be soo strange! Like everyone has posed as they were walking, its so clever!!

[Frankie1992]

the dropped mobile on a string was very clever. for a second i was like WTF?!

[xxIRONMAID3Nxx]

yh lol same here

[shafal123]

it wasn't that gud as NY's one..cause everyone were freezed..there should be some folks to move around and make the freezed ones special..actually it was gud though..

[galan98]

Does anyone know the song used with this video? I really like it.

[OliverFroomes]

I'm gonna make a facebook group to do it again! Search "The London Freeze 09 Group!" :D:D:D I really do hope this works :Z

[DJMATTRiX2008]

1:37 man blinks, not very good at this freeze thing are ya haha

[thedustbinun]

i liked the one with the string on the phone

[WickedPakhtoon]

the happening

[BlitzKriege35]

They copied Improv everywhere, still cool though.

[datninjaboyy]

the dudes phone probably has a string atatchted to his hand

[datninjaboyy]

the dudes phone probably has a string attatched to his hand

[jonasbrosaddict01]

wow! no,seriously how does the phone NOT drop? that was AWESOME! so, in London, is it like a whole big freeze party? like an event?

[jamii992]

they was all people from a socal webite who organized it

[hichem555]

Magnificent

[DerUnbekannte]

if you have parkinsons, you should not be the one with the camera..

awesome though...

[johnklarinfinitelove]

LOL

[fallingleaves2]

how often does this occur? what is the point or is there none? its a real cool thing! i would love to do that!! totally loved the phone dangling guy!!!

[andrea23345]

how do they manage to be so still? it looks like they dont even breathe...

[kws0113]

whats this song in the background... its good

[fr000tch]

This is the perfect example how to drive the next revolution: no blood, just laugh.

[Righteousness101]

hear, hear

[fr000tch]

The guy at 2:09 Greaaat, excellent! A real timer. Everybody's fine and happy.

Not spending a Penny. Great show, thanks to all.

[fkarlsson78]

[pickoo]

Geez, calm down all of you...

everyone knows Australia's the best :P

[ZlyPocet]

can you please tell me whats that song? send me it please like private message or just write it here.. thank you very much

[rosydonut]

OH FUCKING SHUT UP! WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT IN ARGUING ABOUT WICH FUCKING COUNTRY IS BETTER!

LET US NOT RESORT TO WILD STEREOTYPING ANDD MINDLESS CYBER BULLYING! i as a british person will admit that america did save our arses in world war 2 or 1 or whatever but we did a lot of work ourselves..but i will add that we dont all have crappy teeth, drink tea, go fox hunting blah de blah de blah!

i mean these stereotypes are as stupid as the ones we have about americans..so please calm down?

[Ubersoldat2003]

Come on, honestly?

[vidaest]

Well, Rosie, perhaps you could read a book or two on British history...

You mean, you don't drink tea at 5? ;)

[rosydonut]

mmm..i told a lie..i fucking love tea..its the best drink in the fucking world...dosent mean every english person does though ;)!

[analyticSynthetic]

Tea time is 4.00.

[riro123]

i have a question for uber whatever the fuck your name is why do you keep arguing on the internet go outside get some air and a life preferably

[vitt209]

stfu harry potter and brush your teeth and damn right im going beaner hunting

[Ubersoldat2003]

Do you always try to divert the point of the argument towards senseless swearing?

Are you not capable of defending yourself?

Well then I have good news for you - you're just like every single American on Earth. You can't even win a war against underfunded, undersupplied, undertrained Vietnamese soldiers, when GREAT Britain held off the Nazis for the entirety of World War II.

Get back in your place and stop moaning.

[vitt209]

dude 1 get of the crack 2 learn your history. hate to break it to you buddy but britain/canada/aust. were all in vientame too and plus they used gorila warfair one the most power tactics when your out guned out maned

[Ubersoldat2003]

Wow, even a quick look on Wikipedia will demonstrate how incredibly obtuse you are. Anti-Communist forces: South Vietnam United States South Korea Australia Philippines New Zealand Khmer Republic Thailand Kingdom of Laos

[Ubersoldat2003]

NOWHERE in that list does it state Britain as ever having taken part. QED.

Perhaps you should lay off the fatty foods, CNN and Fox News.

Once again, it looks like I have to correct you on your English. "off" "Vietnam" "guerilla" "warfare" "outgunned" "outmanned".

I can't believe i'm communicating with such a dunce. Consider this conversation over.

[vitt209]

haha bro. you need to just chill alright just chill i know all your brits have sticks up your ass and have to be 100% perfect at everything just buy some weed here i will even send you money for weed and just smoke it and just CHILL

[MOHH2COD4]

NO FATTY NO! get away before u sink america with all ur FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!

[Babyvonne1987]

awesome!!!

[puchculi]

its a song by david holmes i think

[IguaneAvecLaQueue]

what`s the name of the song ?

[BigManJJ27]

Oh Thanks Dell058.

Saying That us British Is Crap..

If You Think Were Crap..

Then. GET THE FUUCK OUT OF OUR COUNTRY!

LONDON IS ONE OF THE BEST CITIES YOU'LL SEE.

PPL HATE UCUS UR A GEEK.

[BigManJJ27]

LOL!

2:09

THE MOBILES FLOATING XD

This Was One Dau Before My Birthday ;D

This Was My Aunties Bday.

It was The Dya When Man Utd Beat Arsenal 4-0 :D

[vitt209]

if i saw that i would of just stole one the "freeze people" cell phone that the one person out out in front of them or that nice camera

[UkraineLFCsupporter]

HAHA nice ))

[Ubersoldat2003]

Glad you live in America then; not surprising either, with that level of morality.

[vitt209]

thats right ubersoldat2003 so you can go suck on my HARD LONGE DICK OF AMERICAN JUSTICE BITCH

[Ubersoldat2003]

Now i'm even more glad you live across the pond. Perhaps you should engage in a little rootin, tootin mexican hunting instead of engaging in a futile struggle to win this? It's the internet, you can't win.

Oh and please refrain from using incorrect spelling when addressing me. The scariest part is that I don't know if "LONGE" is to be attributed to your intelligence or if it is a new perversion of the ENGLISH language by your people.

[teo829]

Aw no funny poses

[ongoy4]

hey did anyone see that guys mobile floating at 2:09, it was reall smart abd cool!!!

[gracesupang]

i think he tied a string to the phone and to his fingers. but it looks surreal tho! cool..

[chrazy5]

thats not fun cause all ppl knew it gonna be freeze the fun is the 204 ppl in the subway stopped without anybody knows it just ACT all ppl were STUNNED

[bubamonica01]

The meaning of this is to raise awareness of human trafficking .

Because many people are still enslaved around the world . Most are women and children for sexual purposes .

[darkmatter2007]

2:36 lol...

She likes that banana doesn't she?

[zarafino]

Finally someone mentions the banana-woman. The highlight as far as I'm concerned.

[E9878]

amazing thanks for sharing

[WaterPhoenix93]

There's going to be one in Melbourne? Does anyone know where and when? i would love to do this!

[mixymo]

Flinders Station 3rd nov 7pm

[insos]

[ZelRiannij]

No, it's not COLD, the PEOPLE are frozen.

Meaning they're not MOVING. Dipshit.

[snoopz2]

[bubamonica01]

The meaning of this is to raise awareness of human trafficking .

[mrmagoo0670]

this is stupid....

Let's all make a pact that if we see this happen where we're at, we run up to one and kick them in the balls...that'll make them stop doing this stupid waste of time, energy and other ppls time!!!

[krcluvsau]

why is it a waste of people's time?...

i was a part of one of these in my town, and it was dead fun.

i couldn't keep myself from grinning and shaking with laughter, though, when people came up to me. dead giveaway right there ;)

[01101FrIzZy10110]

what would be cool is if they all unfroze at the exsact time.

[01101FrIzZy10110]

I would'nt be able to stand that still lol

[kakuzumaster]

that would be funny u just steal a wallet

[punzao]

I prefer having my wallet robbed than my son killed by classmates with a gun.

[duncabbin]

I prefer no to be shot by some crackhead slummers over 5 peso

[hepster121]

GOD DAM HIPPYS, funny if they were all Mugged

[FairFlare]

;D wow!

[HappyGirl10101]

lol that was good

[aerrow179]

i know how to make them unfreeze !!! steal thier walets lol

[kienhongpham]

knob cheese

[maroumedia]

it's a disease spreading all over the world....not!!!! lol!!!!

[samisleet]

it's a cool and artistic idea...

but srsly that must be proper boring

[Jassive1968]

i love this idea it's great!!!!

[sxcaki]

OMG This song is so beautiful! What's the name of it? Name Name!!!

[SomeSunshineOutside]

Kota by Bonobo

Read the description, duh!

[seicomoe]

Seriously, this has to be the most brilliant thing I've seen in a good while. Oh my God, this is absolutely incredible. I don't know how you'd get everyone to cooperate like that.

[sinrize]

what an amazingly original idea..

[sean4656]

its for world record , imagine if everybody did it apart from yourself, i would honestly think i was dead or something.

[simonsclass]

lol i kno

[fieliepsa]

will there be another freeze in london soon? id love to see it!!!

[twilightfairy26]

beautiful i love how everyone just slows down and stops for a moment. if we could all just be present in each moment everyday and just be still to appreciate the beauty and majesty around us and more importantly within us what miracles it would manifest. what inspired this Freeze is this a common tradition in London?

[seicomoe]

I totally agree! I wonder how it's set up though.

[chooseyourfutures]

Is this art???

[docbreaknik]

i took part in this.....but ive got a weak bladder + im a alcoholic......with a tic and turets.

[Psyroh]

awesome,good music

[Zaldin1301]

lol, I didnt know that they did conga after that! xD

[JagBlirGaaaaalenn]

It's wierd, is it REAl or is it just made up? ^^

[vivaelrock87]

Outrageously awesome!!! I wanna visit visit London!!!

[DEL058]

good luck in visiting London. It just might be ok if your visit is short. Generally speaking these people are the most pretentious and xenophobic people i have ever come across.

[lovelyrita4o5]

I beg to differ. I was in London this summer and was slightly apprehensive of the attitude I would get, but they Londoners were much more friendly than the people I am used to in California, US.

[battyangel]

why thank you very much, and I'm sure you're a very lovely person too :P

I hate to know what bad experiance You've had with Londoners, I just find it sad that you have choosen to say that about the whole of London - despite people being different individually and all that jazz...

[DEL058]

I have lived here for 6 years and am still living here in London. I am not saying that all Londoners are like this but i don't find them to be very friendly. Secondly, my experience with Londoners suggests the general attitude that if you are not British you are crap (this attitude displayed by the British extends itself to Irish, Scottish and welsh people as well)

[battyangel]

I can understand what you're saying... It's just where I'm from it is true that London isn't very friendly (yay character building :P) but where I'm from, I live in a mixed community where there is practically everyone from different parts of the world living near by. My neighbors are Turkish and South African and I get along fine with them.

I was born in London and just felt a bit offened at your comment, BUT I see what you mean. London isn't a nice place, but not everyone is a total twat :)

[punzao]

This city is very organized, clean and civilized. But I think the Londoners are too formal and shy, do not look at you into your eyes and are, in general, cold people. I prefere latin people, who are more friendly.

[duncabbin]

Yeah?? People in Argentina are not so friendly

[punzao]

In general, argentinians are actually informal, objective, friendly and extrovert, as other latin people: italians, spanishes,portugheses, uruguayans, brazilians and so forth. And "peso" is not the currency of Brazil, Italy, Spain, Portugal, France, neither is common a person be shot, in these countries, because of 5 bucks.

[Ubersoldat2003]

You will find that we are only formal and reserved (not shy) as we believe it is rude to infringe upon other peoples' personal space - nothing to do with being cold. It is our respect for others.

Once you get to know us, we're about the most open of all people on Earth.

[collbary]

i quite agree with you ... :)

[JSGsea]

It's nice to see, in this video, stuffy, cold Londoners having fun with abandon.

[basseloooo5]

w00t love it!! in a week we r organizing to do a flashmob in our school!! w000t i wonder wat ill be like!

[EgoDoctor22]

These freeze videos are so cool. Wonder what it was like to be a part of it, either as a freezer-teaser or just a guy walking around when suddenly the world stops but you keep moving. I'd probably freak. I'd probably think I had a tumor.

[edokia26]

é interessante! um campanha a paz! muito humano! transmite alegria e desejo de um novo mundo!

[Berkeli009]

Amaizing. Nice song, nice city London. Freeze Barcelona now!

[EilianNoyes]

I don't know why, maybe because of the music, tears appeared in my my eyes, nostalgia. Awesome vid.

[zarafino]

I'm glad you liked it :) :D

[EgoDoctor22]

Excellent music! What is it?

[adamyorks]

brilliant

[Immutiny]

haha! look at 2:13, hes sposed to be dropping his phone! that was awesome though!

[matt0ne]

Spooky effect.. looked awesome. Shame about the camera work
