Frozen Grand Central

Maybe you've heard of Improv Everywhere... They've become pretty popular, especially lately, and many news sources (including the Associated Press) have covered their antics. Essentially, they're a group of people that collectively get together and pull huge pranks, causing scenes of "chaos and joy" in public places.

One of my favorite "missions" of their's (so far), I think, is when they infiltrated Best Buy wearing the traditional royal blue shirts and khaki pants. This was actually the first time I had really heard about them, and I laughed very hard at the videos and testimonies from their "agents". They've also looped time, which I imagine was great to watch.

Recently, they all decided to gather in Grand Central Station in New York, scatter, pretend to mind their own business, and then FREEZE all at the exact same moment, for the exact same amount of time.

The results, as expected, were hilarious.

As usual, employees don't know what the heck to think, but I think my favorite part is the people that are almost freaking out, apparently wondering if space aliens invaded and decided to freeze half the population or something. Pure gold.

And cheering when they finished? Fantastic.

Anyway, check them out if you're into improv/humor. There's some great stuff on there.
