Worship the Sock Man

[Badwolf182]

GAw Blimey! The sockman and that whole town brings some memories back. Good old Lougbborough Uni. Hahaha those were the days. I must visit soon! Its been a few yrs and whats the bet I can still find some of the locals on their fav chaair at 6 pm at the Firkin or the Orange Tree or The warehouse or The Gallery! lol

[lordarachnius]

i live here!!! loughborough FTW!!!

[XXHannaHNewtoNXX]

i so wish i had been there lol

[xxmizzflirtxx]

i don't see what the big fuss is..i do this daily

[MelodicMuffin]

Oh I wish I knew about that!! xD

Loughborough FTW! <3

[jpickles]

Please no clapping. It just ruins it! Flash mobs get the satisfaction from just the performance itself.

[00MrPanda00]

ワウは、これそれ任意一見より現実的によりよかったかもしれない­。

[silvaportugal]

lol not supposed to clap it ruins it

[n1cklass]

no good flashmob ....a cameraman whos laughing ugly and applause after...no good at all

[Jinn786]

Hey that was on my birthday that time, i still miss music zone and i dont see the point of makking another cafiteria we all ready got about 4 or 5 store.

[vacaum2001]

Just the claps at the end are wrong... just leave the place quiet, its the flash mob sense :)

[GreySparks]

Yeah, I was thinking exactly the same thing. I wish they'd taken the "worshipping" idea to the extreme too. It was still funny though! :D

[Zhirgoyt1991]

very nicely executed flash mob ;)

good job

[JIerpaH]

вахахахаа ржу нимагу )))

[thewoodscall]

LOL. PS That statue is hideous.

[nastni2]

LOL, makes me proud to be an alumni

[schott319]

HaHa, Even though I hate that bloody statue, that looks like fun.

[TheAveragePunk]

@schott319 :O how can you hate the sockman?! i shud hate it as it kicked me in the face!.

[DannyH2oo8]

[IndieSoup]

If I had passed by this, I would have just joined in- it looks so much fun :)

Aww I miss that Music Zone, it was pretty cool

[easty551]

[tebudamum]

*sigh* if someone started one, everyone will think its just a joke.. but i would so go. FLASH!

[soxnsuits]

OKAY! I Now See the Connection!

[baboonsarse]

All very good but why spoil it by clapping yourselves in an infant school style?

[mist890718]

indeed... the clapping ruins everything >.< and also the guy filming... his laughter is kind of funny ^.^

Sock Man FTW :P:P

[bishbabish]

YESSSSSSSSS THE FOUNTAIN IS PERFECT! they're so many fuckin tourists in balboa! hahah i'm SO DOWN! but i dont know how to rave . . . so ill just dance weird? and, there's the big clock that goes off every hour so there's no need to whistle. and it's 21st not 21th. i know it wasnt you who wrote it but to whoever did.

[membereighty8]

This thing better be going off on the 21st cause i'm migrating a huge group from LA down there to do it! I believe i just got a myspace bulletin about this as well.

[1Hutchinson1]

im not getin in2 any argument but im just gna say i think it wud be better if ppl didnt applaud

[piinkchiick]

Haha pure genius .. anyone know of any flash mobs in Nottingham ?

Hail the sock man =]

[mindlesslogic]

San diego Flashmob

Location - Balboa Park's large fountain located by the Air and Space, and Natural History museums Time - PROMPTLY 2:00 July 21th 2007 I'll (blow a whistle at 2 exactly and I'll try to set up like a few digital clocks with the correct time around the fountain) Action - The action will be Silent Rave, The general idea behind this a mass of people dancing to whatever happens to be playing on their headphones at the same time.

[unicorn193]

hehe. wooo the sock man!

[youcanawesome]

Say does matter.  :(

[tombaker1222]

fuck you lame ass, why don't you take your own advice? and comedians do laugh at their own jokes. Ever seen a Billy Conolly live show? hes always laughing! Mock the Week? they all laugh!

And how exactly does it ruin it? i think it makes it all the better, bit of a celebration for being able to pull it off.

And your excuse for not being able to spell bilbo was terrible. next time, tell the truth and say you're illiterate!

[Akheil]

LOL

[Conza88]

Next time don't applaud yourselves.

[tombaker1222]

shut the fuck up, just cause you dont have any friends to do anything funny like that with. loser

[Conza88]

hahahah. Thanks, that made me laugh... compared to the shit I've done, this is shit is completely lame. Anyway, I'm goin to quit telling the truth, as it hurts... Now go watch your favourite ballad of bildo baggins. Whose really the loser?

[tombaker1222]

compared to the shit you've done? ah well, shame you didnt video it, big man!

btw, the ballad of BILBO baggins is hilarious,so when you learn to spell it you might start looking for the humour in it. just a thought.

[Conza88]

Yea it was filmed, like most of our stuff. Noones bothered to edit it though, tapes are a mates place. I'll bother to spell it correctly when I believe the content deserves respect. Midgets with hairy feet do not. The reason I said 'next time don't applaud yourselves' is because it fuken ruins it. Do comedians laugh at their own jokes? Fuck no. So next time I offer some constructive criticism to make your charades less fuken lame, take the advice offered and shut the fuck up, before you pipe up.

[cyrus0717]

that is absolutely amazing!!!! You absolute heroes!!! lmfao

[ten71pop]

Excellent!

[glowsnail]

peace can be interesting!

[sublimeivy]

next one is 2moro.

[bobjimwilly]

was quite funny, but the cheer at the end sorta spoiled it for me - still think Newcastle Flash MOb (1st 1) is the best of all ive seen.

[JOSmurder]

i assure you mate!! Loughborough Is Better Than Your Life!!!

[sjl1982]

bloody amazing!

[WOSAWUSA]

ohh yeah! *lol*

[daneg93]

why should i

[TitanicWarrior]

Lol, it was funny when I read it in the Echo....cudn beleive it...

[kevindosi]

that kinda sucked.

[twig9y]

we cant help being the coolest town ever! =P go lufbra!!

[ninjamitis]

well that's very interesting isnt it? :)

[pilko57]

lol i remember seeing that in the echo!

[destroydapacka]

That's not really saying much though when the theft of someones pet rabbit makes the local paper

[Wallaceshead]

AWESOME! obviously it works better with several dozen people.

[ohboyalisonshere]

i thought it was rather hilarious, but it could have done without the clapping.

oh well. better than nothing to turn up my day. =)

[bybybyby123456789]

lol

[ssmjd]

ITS BETTER THAN GETTING SHOT!

[matthutch11]

very good im impressed but shame 4 the clapping.lol

[RazzeLx]

haha, yes i agree all the mardy old gits should get a life and stop complaining about students. The biggest problem of all in Loughborough is the massive population of brainless; dirty chavs- not the students (who have actually bothered to continue their education and who most definetly have more intelligence than you narrow-minded cretins...)

[destroydapacka]

Not entirely true, there are plenty of moronic students who give little consideration to the local poplulace. Dislike of students is largely reflected by a minority against another minority. Having lived here for 33 years, I have no love for either group as they are both equally destructive in regards to the community.

[sexshark316]

shite

[Icebot]

Terribly unfunny

[easyease]

speaking as a local of loughborough its good to see people having a laugh for a change in town, better than seeing the usual old biddies and smack head chavs being glum.

[adelearescientists]

it's just sun readers and brian washed people man, dont worry about it. all the "they took our jobs" people are too slow to understand shit like this. i agree, clappers dont get it, dont clap after, maybe it would have been good if there was a very quick chant involved.

[adelearescientists]

the 44 guy clearly has a very clean, empty brian. and a susan.

[goibee]

Wow, i really cannot understand how people can get so offended and pissed off at the fact that a group of students decided to do a flashmob event.

Though I do agree that the clapping at the end undermined the surreal atmosphere that most flashmobs are meant to create.

[Bestyroolz]

i love how much the locals hate us students, even tho without us, their town would be crap. get a sence of humour, cretin.

[mckenziesdad]

sense of humour? mmmmmmmmm and you lot are meant to be the next generation! cant wait for you to graduate and bog off

[dbarley]

to add to my previous comment, in my opinion loughborough graduates are becoming less sought after, mainly due to filth like this appearing on youtube/facebook/myspace. those who took part in this "game"...do you really want skeletons like this in your closet when going to interviews? pathetic..very pathetic.

[dimcoin]

flahsmobs are not skelettons, maybe you need to go to school to learn anatomy!

[dbarley]

As a loughborough man born and bred i find this offensive, sock man is a local icon, not to be humoured in this childlike manner. I want peace. (of mind)

[barcyorky]

Oh have a sense of humour for heaven's sake, what is offensive about people having harmless fun? There are far more serious things to get stressed about!!

[misterdan]

Hahahahahahahahahaha *breathes*. Dude, chill out. It's harmless fun. If you want, we could wreck your town instead... if you'd prefer that? I think your comments are more pathetic than two minutes of fun. You probably weren't even there, so why do you care? Message back.

[adymad44]

hold on, lets get a few things straight. my family and ancestors have lived and worked in this town for many score..and for what purpose? not to see some clowns ridicule not only themselves, but also their families. god knows what this world is coming to if this is the next crop...using words like "dude" and "chill out" and doing "flashmobbing". if only we had the time to be doing that back in my day. you kids dont know how easy you've got it, now grow up and clear off you mess.

[adymad44]

oh sorry i forgot, "message back", lazy parasite

[adelearescientists]

how are people who are getting educated lazy? do you have a degree? what do you do? how do you contribute to society? if it wasnt for flashmobbing the universe would collapse, you spoon.

[mckenziesdad]

i wish you would all go home, your not welcome

[radz4lizife]

on the sockman it shows his butt crack...just useful evidence

[misschic]

hahahaahahahahahahahaha!!!! ive just joined the lancaster flash mob group..so maybe there'll be lancaster footage soon. lol

[davec1333]

same here, should be, think theres an event coming lol

[yohav37]

bad

[juggla343]

That was brilliant! Shame about the clapping tho - I think with a flashmob u wanna make it look like something so out of the ordinary is perfectly normal, thus applause undermines this.

[CountDiLuna]

Wow, that was hilarious! I wish I'd been there to see it with my own eyes - it would've been a memory for life!

[babblingchannel]

wonderful!!

[bigclark]

maybe next time they'll be enough people to fill the market place up & maybe next time you could include some music!!!

[CrzybuthatsHowItGoes]

Rock on Loughborough people!! :D

[Dancer4Lyf]

Okayy thats kinda scary i'm glad i wasn't in town when this happened lol. Dare i ask what possesed u to kneel and praise a freakky green lukking man putting on a sock.

[russell881261]

Grow Up!

And you people are supposed to be the next leaders of this country???

Get a Job, Get a life and stop shitting about wasting your time pulling gay little stunts and broadcasting it on the internet.

PS:Loughborough is a shit hole anyway...

[siddo83]

Sorry, where are you from then?

[plem90]

OMG they are student what do you expect you fucking LOSER

[bigclark]

People who say uh uh uh get a life stop wasting your time Loughborough is a shit hole are the people who need to grow up first Loughborough is a nice place with a lot of things to do and as for the video a great little prank alotta fun ...IT'S CHRISTMAS cheer up you miserable git!!! ...its funny a can remember the first time that thing was put up if you asked a resident you would get the same answer ...thats what they spent our taxes on now its grown on everyone!

[chef82]

very true

[destroydapacka]

I've lived here 33 years and can I assure you that Loughborough is in fact shit and has gotten increasingly worse in the past ten years as it has increased in size.

[kornboy130]

actually we're the enxt sportsmen of the nation - you do realise loughborough is actually one of the top universitys for sport in the world. You have to make 3 A's at a-level and be "internationaly recognised as a sportsman" to gain entry to the sports programme - so remember how you put us down when you watch the 2012 olympics.

[adymad44]

oh ill be watching the 2012 olympics and i can assure you that these sad pathetic individuals will not be there.

[kornboy130]

how about the 2007 rugby world cup? the england team currently train between bath and loughborough universities.

[camelman55]

you are the sad pathetic weirdo its only harmless fun you cunt

[neopaulpets]

i would love to be in a flash mob

[Glaze45]

Yay!I live in loughborough!I never thought the sockman was anything special though...

[getupandjump]

[jeannaaaaaa]

I serisouly wish that this was the year that I went to Lufbra. Hopefully the flashmob stays alive til next year!

[siddo83]

Makes a change from the sock man being raped or sicked up on.

[olly81444]

Quote old lady passing by "what was all that about?! i thought it was going to get up and walk or something!" People around were stunned, didnt have a clue what was happening. Such a great video.

[lidskidder]
