  • HAHA anyone else hear "awkward applause awkward applause!" at 3:12 ?

  • Am I the only one that gets sentimental watching this?

  • Improv was one move ahead of fox news.Nice job.

  • He felt good until everyone left.. his feeling of emptiness only punctuated by the realisation his plasma TV and stereo were gone too.

  • I love IE but wow, this was lame.

  • Aw this is cool :)

  • omg you did this on my 6th birthday!

  • You guys are helping repair society - hugs!

  • Owned!

  • Lmao. I think the Lion King made this better.

  • I must be extremely stupid but can someone explain to me how the joke was on Fox because I don't get it =/

  • @OhItsGinevra It was fake. The guy who got hugged was an "agent" for improv everywhere.

  • nice

  • LOL "causing scenes in public" while they were inside of the guys apartment

  • not to be a total diss on the idea but this sort of also goes with all the 'high fives' that improv does as well, but is this hygienic? If that were me I would take a shower with antibacterial soap afterwards... just saying. I don't know where 50 people have been.

  • dont give credit to the mayor, damn

  • @Gulllars

    I think it was because they thought it was scripted but idk kinda lame

  • Cute

  • Goes to show how great a hug can make someone feel :)

  • When Fox News asks to cover an IE Mission, _the mission ends up being on them_. How does this end up being on them? For that you would have to do something on them, like have the hug patrol showing up in the studio when the anchor was talking about it and start hugging her...

  • "Couldn't be scripted any better than this." XD Did that guy just give away the joke? :3

  • can someone tell my the music for it pls? :3

  • @TanyTatyLote elton john ''can you feel the love tonight? ''

  • OMG I THINK THERE WAS A ROCKY POSTER ON HIS WALL!! <3

  • Can you feel the LOOOOVE tonight?!

  • Theses people are crazy and I love them

  • Wait, how is the trick on Fox News?? :)

  • @SarahTurquoise I dont get it either.

  • @cmac1100

    Sounds like the mission was intentionally very cheesy specifically for the news cameras.

  • *gives you all cyberhugs*

  • The best part about this mission was that the joke was on Fox News. I can't believe Improv Everywhere troll'd Fox News. Great Job!

  • The one who let the people in had a rocky horror picture show poster! :D

  • that's cute! i wish i could get 100 hugs!

  • Next thing I did after watching this video, grabbed a piece of paper and wrote: "Today, give a free hug to someone" and wore it to school the next day. Life is pretty great.

  • LMFAO I ♥ that one of the lion king song's is playing in the background during the hug @ the guys house. =D I would have cried if I was that guy. So heart warming...

  • That laugh!

  • i feel bad for the cameraman :/

  • IF EVERYONE WAS AS ACCEPTING AS THAT MAN WHO RECIEVED THE HUGS, THIS WORLD CAN BE A BETTER PLACE

  • I don't get how it was a prank on Fox either...

  • @MandiMarie316 beacause that guy that got the hugs was an ImprovEverywhere member. it was all staged. Funny as hell, lol!

  • there not comedians but a genius flashmob who're organised rule breakers! from which humour comes

  • i wish we could do this all the time seriously

  • This just sucked, there should have been some "tables have turned" moment in there, so the Fox crew would really become the targets in the mission. But no, this was just lame, no imagination involved.

  • 0:26 Woman to the right: Best laugh Ever

  • love then ending where it repeats him saying it cant be scripted any better than this... LuLz

  • these videos seem pritty pointless

  • I love that song (1:50), what's it called?

  • @Quionic7 Elton John- Can you feel the love tonight

  • i need a hug now :(

  • @SkemoBrie *Hug* haha

  • i dont get it

  • They did this on my Birthday :)

  • the moment at 2:27 is priceless ahahah that guy on the left just so excited ..aswell he should be. hes gettin  a hug

  • Aww u actually made that mans day. How cute. I feel like a hug now lol

  • i'm so confused.. how were they trolling the news station? "we got you! it wasn't really improv!" i don't get it..

  • scripted better then this...

  • im hug hungry

  • That guy got more hugs in one day than I've ever gotten :'( *hugs self*

  • can i have hundred of hugs as well??

  • HUG MEH!!!!!!!!! XD

  • LOL THEY GOT DA NEWS WOW LOL

  • Awesome, this happened on my birthday!

  • I don't get why it was a prank on them!?!

  • @5student The prank was on Fox cause the guy getting hugged was in on the whole thing.

  • i love improv everywhere but it seems like theyre making fun of free hugs, which is actually a beautiful idea

  • @ClareT994

    Free Hugs didn't even exist when we did this in 2003.

  • @ImprovEverywhere

    I agree with ClareT994. You guys rule!!!

    And I don't know what free hugs is...

  • @ClareT994 I dont think it's making fun of it. All their missions have a positive impact on the public. Put smiles on faces. This is what we should do more.

  • @ClareT994 I never understood the free hug thing though..aren't hugs suppose to be free?

  • @gaoyusi85 yeah but i heard that free in free hug doesn't mean free of cost.. free represents freeedom somehow..

  • @ClareT994

    go hug a bear

  • lol it ended up the prank is on them ahaha

  • it is not a prank. Get real man. NYC is actually like that. I have lived there.

  • hugs are amazing! I've done two videos on Free Hugs. Each with over 200 hugs!

  • this was also on tv in Norway... i was watching it

  • the fox reporter kinda looks like a reporter version of B real in cypress hill

  • lol the next thing the dude notices things missing in his house... love you might say.

  • Ha ha. Maybe, MelsArtTickYouLet. I like your name, it's creative!

  • This is the best!

  • i want a hug!!!!!!

  • me too :( this video made me hug hungry

  • @vvelvettearss Hug hungry!? =o oh my. me too.

  • tears in my eyes. come to Belgium no? :D

  • great song with this.. )

  • feel the love?

  • Way to ruin the fun.

  • Wow. Your stupid. How could you get arrested for asking to hug someone? You clearly don't know the law. Dumbass.

  • "your stupid"

    appreciate the irony, if you even know what that word means

    the extent of your arguing skills is saying the word "wow" while failing to show anything besides the fact that you are a dumbass with the experience and knowledge of a 5-year-old

  • Your clearly the one who said that is a good way to go to jail. Which that statement was just a bunch of bull shit.

  • Comment removed

  • Now I want a hug lol

  • its like a hug orgy

    lol

  • Well at least Local Fox channels aren't as evil as the big ole' FOX NEWS CHANNEL

  • Hugs to Shoshana R!!!

  • me too~

  • everyone remember FREE HUG DAY is second thursday of EVERY month

  • "no, you dont have to hug everybody, you get to hug everybody!" hahaha SO FUNNY! i love these ppl!!!

  • the song is so sweet...

  • SWEEET I WANNA DO IT!!! NEW YORK ROCKS

  • the emotional music was a nice touch

  • But isn't the funny point lost here if it doesn't get official? And with that I mean not just posting a video on YouTube about it, but maybe writing an article in the news paper or having the Fox News announcing the joke in a later show...

    Don't you think?

  • Lol, gotta love the way the news reporter can't help but give an awkward comment: "Oookay."

  • i always thought Fox was evil, well the probably put sars on all the huggers

  • LMFAoooo.. so funny guys, hahahaha.

    I like Charlie, cute!!

  • Great Idea!

  • hahahaha dude!!

  • The joke is the 'random' man's house is one of the agents, and the Fox guy says it couldn't be any better if it was scripted....

  • Wait how is the joke on Fox?

  • yes IE was asked to be followed and insted of improv they scripted it

  • hahahaha totaly amazing !!!!

  • imagine if they found a house that was having a frat party!

  • id be freaked out

  • damn my ex-girlfriend tried to organize something like that...sure it was something like 10 ppl but anyway, its weird since i live in Brazil and i've never heard of a "hug patrol" or "free rugs campaign"...

  • Free rugs campaign? Ahahaa.

  • Comment removed

  • "Free Hugs"

    And you don't need to hear about it before, just hug if you want / feel like it =)

  • I is wants hugz nao ^^

  • Even though that guy was in on it, it totally made me feel good.

    My favorite lion king song ever helped also....not that i listen to the lion king sound track at 21..

  • Haha, that may be true, but who cares? It's nice to do something like that, it's actually very inspiring. =D

  • AWW im gonna cry now :"(

  • I agree with yous sevenar7R everyone needs love, You never know what someone is going through. And a hug just might make their day, just to see a total stranger who actually cares.

  • i wont a hug now : (

  • a hug patrol in every town would solve all the worlds problems

  • yeah it would make everyone happy

  • @sevenar7R Except for poverty, illness, hunger, and everything else.

  • haha the newscaster... "oookay."

  • 2:04 LUcky man!

  • that was an akward video...

  • Burn on fox! They put fake news on tv!

  • You don't get hugged much do you.

  • this reminders me of the FREE HUGS Campain by Sick Puppies

  • I don't get how the mission is on them...?

    The hug thing is fake?

  • Yeah, I don't quite get it, either.

  • Fox thought the mission was real. they didn't know that the people getting hugs were staged.

  • haha if you go to 0:50 of the video you'd see a collage of pictures, or three photos rather that show the guy at the door, one where's he's reading a book and the other when he's in shorts or boxers - he's no total stranger - "Agent Fountain" as he's dubbed - is a part of Improv Everywhere...therefore Fox news thought it was a "real" IE thing...but it was just staged. Kinda like they fooled Fox News.

  • ohhhh. i get it.

    kinda funny i guess...

  • i think the whole world needs a hug too much shit n stress n crap

  • xD Exactly. They really should have a hug patrol, lmao

  • Wouldve been so cool if the fox report ended with... "they found brian 2 weeks later hanging from a his doorframe.

  • hahahaha

  • these guys r awesome! either they're being funny or making people happy in all of their videos

  • Scripted? That guy really needs to listen.

    ... or maybe a hug.

  • Comment removed

  • HAHAHAHAH!!!1

  • i was expecting him to be some crazy axe murderer

  • haha. i was too

  • LMFAO! XDDDDD AHAHA XD

  • That was so awesome and nice!

  • perfect song!!!

  • You didn't end up making the joke on Fox 5. You just set up a fake mission because you didn't want to bring them on a real one. They still got their story. Clever? I thought you were going to make Fox 5 think they got into some crazy situation with a mission gone wrong. That was expecting too much.

  • well i donno but every mission i've seen they've done they haven't really offended anybody, so maybe thats why, but i agree with you, i also wanted something more

  • this is my favourite one

  • i like ur thinkin

  • you don't have to hug everybody

    you get to hug everybody

  • the song for the first 100 hugs fit perfectly lol

  • ROFL! totally.

  • This is so much more subtle than most of their stuff.

    And it seems almost mean somehow. But it's just fox.

  • i like the first guys response to getting a hug: "oh, alright"

  • 6-9 hahahah

  • hahaha fox was owned!

  • I love how happy everyone is around 2:50

  • the laughter at 0:24 was kind of creepy..

  • Fox is so stupid, this is great.

  • LOL FOX NEWS GETS PWND!! EPIC!!

  • HAHAHA that chick in the beginning laughed really funny then she was all embarised

  • awsomeness, the first guy was a little teeary eyed

  • Hug patrol sounds like fun!! :)
