Even Better Than The Real Thing (extended)

For our latest mission, we staged a fake U2 concert on a Manhattan rooftop, moments before a real U2 show across the street at Madison Square Garden.

This is one of over 100 different missions Improv Everywhere has executed since 2001 in New York City. Others include Frozen Grand Central, the Food Court Musical, and the famous No Pants Subway Ride, to name a few. Visit the website to see tons of photos and video of all of our work, including behind the scenes information on how this video was made.

To be fair, if you were standing on the street surrounded by people shouting "U2!!! OMG BONO AND EDGE!!!", mixed with the sounds of cars, the sound would be so drowned out that you probably would believe that they're U2.

Hilarious how that crowd all got caught up in it. The power of suggestion can be very strong. I wonder what the real Bono thought of it. I imagine they had to get his permission to do that. I hope they got "UN-arrested in the end. They are trying to make people laugh, providing some levity during a very bleak time in our country!! I appreciate their efforts. I think they are wonderful and I would love to be in one of those groups!! Karen S. Port Charlotte, Fl

I loved the peoples' responses here... well except for the partycrashing police and that one c*cksucker who flipped them off.

You could've just pretended to be singing and played the audio of the song. Awesome idea though.

[elitestar]

@ tonidilux- not for playing music, for trespassing on private property and probably for disturbing the peace.
