[Kabb005e]

[LunchBachs94]

I forgot what video brought me to improv everywhere. But im glad it did

[TheTrailerp]

[MCRmyPoet]

I'm a New Yorker...I wonder if I can get in on one of these pranks...

[jackbobfri]

[david56341]

@jackbobfri YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!­!!

[destruktor65]

1,354 people are part of the CFCF: the Camera Flash Control Foundation

[TheRealJimmyGlitchy]

[elybubbles]

It didn't reeeaaally work.

[WimsicalAssassin]

Totally Rad show! :13!

[IvanPol29]

Mission: Get everyone blind and drivers distracted. 

[twistedexperiment]

What is Harry Potter doing there?

[xXfatboyfryXx]

[jenny6100]

@xXfatboyfryXx i started at midnight and it's 3:05am now.. i can't stop either.. lol

[RICEBALLS117]

i wish i could do this kind of stuff, instead of sitting here wondering if i should even do my homework..

[cod4maniac100]

@RICEBALLS117 true story mate.

[BboyCustomz]

@RICEBALLS117 wish I was still in school... damn I miss homeworks :(

[iamzhippoppotimus]

@RICEBALLS117 Lol you're preaching to the choir here. I should be studying for finals.

[danielsnyder1]

These guys are awesome, but this video is a total FAIL.

[kkirk3012]

Worst one

[melinattttttttt]

Extreme Morse code!

[Ajskateman]

@guptaselia i know right me too

[guptaselia]

i really want to be in one of these~!

[PunchingCats]

Then there's always the guy with the $1 camera that you have to scroll back

[robn23x]

why so many dislikes?! i don't get it o_O

[kingopyramid2]

The top comment is a paradox!!!

[boomerangerful]

robbie williams.

[bangobasbaas]

The person below me covers them self with vaseline so he/she can pretend that they are a SLUG.

[justmisskasik]

@bangobasbaas lmfao what!

[haloreach8000]

sooo pretty!

[skyemarine]

There are 1337 dislikes o_____O

[nanabanana613]

THAT IS REALLY COOL!

[almondbluejay]

The great thing about improv everywhere is that those people are just there, taking pictures, not seeing the big picture. Until you see this video and you see how Charlie and the improv people create this huge thing. It;s wonderful

[XxDualBladexX]

@MrOnemanone Sorry, I forgot that the world and I actually gave a sh*t

[ArrestMeIRideBikes]

i think i blinked. can we start over?

[jonesfamilyphoto]

That's what I call a "flash mob"



[TheCman500]

@jonesfamilyphoto YEAHHHHHH!!

[XxDualBladexX]

That's not dangerous for the drivers at all x)

[MrOnemanone]

@XxDualBladexX

None of them are facing the street -_-

[Actionnelll]

The Lights look like emergency vehicle lights.

[CautionEntertament]

I was part of it, but i had a old cam, i had to light gun powder to make it flash,lol

[ViciousKitteh47]

@CautionEntertament LOL

[MrQuoteMan]

The city workers probably thought there was something wrong with the bridge lights!

[ligergirl123]

hope no one watching had epilepsy...

[jasin95]

Epilepsy incitc/bjiknl;'

[1228Jeremy]

How do they come up with this stuff?

[ZxPureWaterZx]

Why are there so many dislikes?

[astrox40]

@ZxPureWaterZx because a lot of the people thought they are ufo lights

[PhilthyRemixes]

@ZxPureWaterZx

Maybe they've all got epilepsy

[loper324]

@ZxPureWaterZx The people where blinded.

[coop925]

@ZxPureWaterZx Haters gonna hate.

[DaveDavilion]

@ZxPureWaterZx they think it was robi williams idea but noooo wayy ...

[zottelmischel]

Thanks

[jillybim88]

@ILOVEPANCAKES the only person awesome enough to create a song that awesome Julian smith/Jeffery

[Gammodore]

I want to move to New York

[jinspade16]

@Gammodore me too!

[IL0VEPANCAKES]

"Are you stupid? Red-eye flashes twice" If you get that reference i love you.

[AmeKurou]

@IL0VEPANCAKES Don't move, Are You Stupid??

[XSVJak]

@IL0VEPANCAKES i hate their guts, they didnt stay still

[MsCloclo22]

wow so cool!

[Ricochet1495]

And then the camera died.

[Deerector]

not impressed at all.. Should have had 3 times the amount of people at minimum to pull this one off.

[PaintSwurl]

...I wish it had been more like a whole bunch going off at once, instead of a flash and then another and another. But it still looked nice, and sparkly too. :) lol

[rockst4rFTW]

UFO!

[TheEverEssence]

Aww, I wish it worked a little better.

[schwig44]

I think what you guys do is awesome, but the next time you guys do a camera flash mission, consider everyone spending like $3 on the same disposable cameras. that way the flashes will all have the same delay. But still, great vid

[The32BitMan]

i bet the drivers are like..

"freakin tourists"

[bofawziii]

i was there :)

[wejamon84]

i love the music :)

[lilraz08]

that's gonna be one hella long slide show xD

[kinsley2108]

Now a Search and Rescue chopper flies past, lol, oops.

[TheAppMania]

I need 2 minutes of my life back to watch this over again

[porkolicious]

meh... that's 2 minutes i'll never get back.

[Toaster1023]

that was pretty cool. maybe a flashlights would have worked better?

[oakgrove0811]

427 accidents later....

[DoingFirstBRreAkdanc]

u think how long theyre gonna delete the files?

[LuisMaMontes]

Now that is what I call a Flash Mob

[speeedskater]

@LuisMaMontes ha,ha,  ha,ha

[nely11111111111]

No cars were harmed in the making of this video.

[bobojeff123]

not to be a bummer but is that bad for the drivers?

[slimjimzquinn27]

I hope no cars were distracted by the bright lights!

[9189erbear1195]

whoaaaaa... epic. XD

[ChocolateLoverHAHA]

it was still awesome

[chickenmcfuck]

failblog *lightning* dot org

[greenlunni]

that was cute! :)

[capwep]

You guys should make a video consisting of a dark rainy night, and there is a camera flash war throughout newyork. 

[HoorayItsMike1]

I can understand if someone is a few seconds off, but seriously the distances apart were at least 100 feet, how are you that late or early? Still kinda cool though.

[nuttynutbeams]

Robbie Williams done a better flash experiment

[werter1999]

lets give em a break. it was raining.

[almostsk8erboi]

what the fuck are ppl talking about that is awssm!

[eelram1999]

beautiful!!

[TheGulag1]

Might have worked a little better had they all used actual zirconium flash bulbs. Little Sylvania blue dot press 25's, and a battery powered pocket flash igniter.

[Kodocha7]

this is beautiful I don't care what the top comments think I think this is absolutely magical

[TCNSmusic]

@Kodocha7 Let's make yours the top comment!

[Kodocha7]

@Kodocha7 oh wow I am a top comment now :D 

[wejamon84]

@Kodocha7 nope

[Kodocha7]

@wejamon84 aw not anymore

[kinomotoalex22]

@Kodocha7 your on top

[THATcommentor]

@Kodocha7 lol You are the top comment

[tommypongo1]

Robbie Williams made you lot look utter shit.

[egdqv13234]

lool looks like someone is shooting XD from the other side of the bridge

[Zhaede1]

it seemed like morse code

[twbeale138]

it may not have worked as expected but i admire them trying. GODD JOB I.E

[lurzax]

A kid watch that flash from far away and said "mom ! WORLD WAR III !"

[ZNorden]

I still liked it though.

[DevilDogMarine911]

It did NOT work at all.

[wattttt2010]

I think some of them had a 3 second delay

[Crazy1991Rocker]

hmmm...if you know some videos where I can find a way to make a flash from a digital camera to shine on music please let me know :D:D:D:D

[Linice926]

Well dosnt it suck when the top comments are not exactly GOOD comments... theyre basically making everyone feel worse! I mean its not excactly ALL THAT easy to make a wave of light through the brooklyn bridge. I dont think any of us would be able to do it. To me this was a succsess

[GenericAmerican1]

Uhh boss, I think there's a shootout out on the bridge.

[Ilessthan3RWJ]

would've been a little better if it was an actual wave..... still pretty awesome though!!

[BadassCeino]

If people can do this, IMAGINE what else we could do together.

[19buz94]

i was just sat there like waiting for something cool to happen.. it didnt.

[chucky493]

How did it not work that looked amazing..................stop being downers fags.

[DivaMomochi]

It looked cool :D

[maffonseca]

one problem: rain and cold ...

[CarrotZ53]

From far away I bet one retard thought it was gunfire

[Rhysp8int]

the term a wave of light means one goes off then then the next, not all simutaniously, so every one who said at the same time is wrong. And zRev1983, why would it be fake? people just assemble on a bridge during a cold and rainy night just to stand there?

[NYhippie543]

too many differing camera times. what they should do next time is have everyone bring one disposable camera. of the same make and model.

[TheOnlyInformant]

@ponyrock7471 Hence the word, 'Experiement'...

[zRev1983]

fake and gay

[Iphark]

fail?

[nschenk]

Robbie Williams flash concert

[EdeLovesGerrard]

ok..

[Shart78]

or maybe (but what have been done ... have been done >_<) it could be better if everyone turned on one by one a light all over the bridge

P.s : sorry for my english i'm french and i continue to learn english as well as possible but i still being not really good ^^'

[jennie0024]

@Shart78 - Keep up the good work. Your English is fine. I know I can barely speak a word of French. I agree with you about the video being better if they were able to make all the cameras go off at the same time!

[b3stm0dd3r]

you should have had everyone do it one at a time with the same camera that has a large flash!

[sopranocellistgirl]

I hope noone was prone to epilepsy! Lol, that would suck!

[Dam262a]

not bad thought it was still good

[shnupit]

now if they all had the same camera it could of worked

[TheAsianTable]

Every worth of picture taking

[frozeddragon]

lightning?

[emmameina]

I think this was pretty well done. It's hard enough to get so many people to synchronize, not to mention camera flash lights...

[drizzleluver]

They needed to synchronize themselves. It didn't look cool with a few camera flashes going off whenever.

[monypril]

@drizzleluver

Synchronizing camera flashes is hard, as each model has a different relay time.

[AttemptingToBeBusy]

What nice music.

[Phulesmith]

music is the best part :) but good effort.

[SailorPhil1984]

Y u no be good video?

[Drake14161337]

Lol one person isn't satisfied and everyone hops on the downer bandwagon.

I thought it was pretty cool. Didn't turn out as bright but it wasn't really there fault.

[Dareigan]

@Drake14161337 Exactly. They probably planned it for that specific day before it started raining or something. I thought it was pretty cool too :P

[ShampooMoo]

This is cool as heck!

[therookpiece]

That was a bit pants, really.

[xXDemonWater098Xx]

Improv Everywhere,I Am Disappoint

[deepvoicedemocrat]

how do u guys organize these events?

[tjgodwin1]

I love the music in the background! =]

[Hellstorm3110]

Thats kickass!

[sanderino]

the could just take a police car and turn the sirens on

would even look better

lol

[MajorBis]

1:22 Uh oh...

[ZzDreamGoat77]

lmao the bridge turned into a seizure depot XD

[volunteernation16]

??

[CrazyCutesy]

1:13 Wasn't that woman taught not to walk in front of people taking a picture?

[berschiii]

Hey There.... plz Vote for myPic on the Nikon Page:

ichbin.nikonwelt.at/galerie/be­itrag/42353

cheers

[oxysean]

that didn't work probably because cameras these days don't go off immediately. maybe they should have tried to make one big simultaneous light.

[TheCanky]

fail

[jwxie518]

they should do this on empire state

[konfuziunz]

Fail

[thejuggernautbitch7]
