I am a New Yorker who is in NYC everyday and I think this would be a wonderful idea... Especially around the holidays. I'm sorry, but tourists walk too slow and randomly stop in the middle of the sidewalk and it gets annoying. Today, I watched numerous people stop in the middle of the road to pose for pictures while cars were trying to get by... NYC, just make some tourist lanes please!
I think if we look just a little deeper, this video shows us how humans are so susceptible to following 'boundaries' which can lead to social norms or conventions and hence leading to dogmas, when those 'dogmas' are just full of chalkmarked lanes of what is "allowed" or not, what is "right" or otherwise falsehoods and bs. sadness
lol I like the idea they were going for with this video, but they were kind of assholes about it. It's funny to me of course because I'm sitting in my freezing cold house in illinois, however if I were one of those tourists I might've gotten kinda pissed at these guys and it may have ruined my vacation to the big apple XD. oh well, nice vid.
@equistera Huh? I think you misunderstood the question. In alot of their videos you'll see that they pull the prank at 2:07 in the afternoon. As you can see on this video at 0:04 it says, "5th ave and 22nd street at 2:07pm". I've also seen at least one where they had 207 actors involved. It must have some internal significance.
should have a system like this in every major city in the world - or at least a slow walker lane - if your a fast walker in TST or MK (in Hong Kong), you'd probly spend half the time not on the sidewalk cuz of all the tourists
Amsterdam has the same problem. Italian people in groups just standing in the middle of the street screaming at each other. Japanese and Chinese people stand still every 3 seconds to take pictures of themselves and everything they see.
in nys a release is not needed to record audio or images of people in public where they have no expectation of privacy unless being used for commercial purposes of which this does not seem as i see no google ad shit or other annoying commercials on many videos nowadays for which those uploaders receive monetary compensation.
Awesome. All your stunts are so clever and harmless fun. I wish there were more groups like you. Watching people's reactions to them is the best part! My friends and I do smaller scale stunts like this sometimes, for instance, a guy dressed in a Tigger suit playing hide and seek with knights in armor downtown was a fun one. Keep up the good work!
@lindynumbr4 Hell Yessss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I live in Bradenton and there are soooooo any Tourist there!!!! We need one that says "Floridians" "Tourist" "Yankees"
Oh how I wish this were a reality.Tourist are pains in the rear end. Oh look honey lights, no wait look here more lights, oh are you kidding me more lights! I'm having the time of my life. I've never seen lights before.
@sansaviera Oh come on. Yes, I understand that tourists shouldn't be walking super slow but when you never been to a big city like New York what else are you supposed to do. Tourists are enamored with New York city. Of course they are going to take their time because they want to see it all. Still a funny ass video!! Love it.
rofl "theres a bunch of people that sprint and there's a bunch of people that walk at regular rates. So you average it out and it's about 12 MPH." !! xD!!!
how is this improving anything??? I like your other videos, but this is pure BULLSHIT.. if i was gutted, i'd ask you politely to stuff yourself, and then i'd stuff your mum
@Mriarepwnage "we cause scenes" to "ImprovEverywhere".... is that a joke too? if this is what millions of people signed up for, it's true, they're a joke
@Mriarepwnage and I understand it was a joke fool, but what did this joke improve? others jokes made by these guys did bring about awareness... this mocked for no reason that i can see... what reason ?? Can someone tell me?
@LiMaoTang Dude, calm down. ImprovEverywhere was not made to "improve" things. "IMPROV"....google it as "acting improv". You'll probably come up with the acting talent known as "Improvisation". Improvisation is where an actor comes up with an act, singing, or dancing on the spot (Not rehearsed). In their title ImprovEverywhere, "improv" is not short for improve. They are to completely different words. And may I just say: If you don't like it, don't watch it & don't complain about it on here.
