ImprovEverywhere: 1200 pantless NYC subway riders

Posted by Adam Stanhope in Travel & Places, Video Clips on January 17, 2009 at 3:55 pm


Those wacky pranksters at ImprovEverywhere held their 8th annual “No Pants” subway ride last week with this year’s event allegedly drawing 1200 participants! It looks like most pranksters chose boxers over briefs – and who can blame them?

You can check out previous years’ pantless rides and other great pranks on ImprovEverywhere’s YouTube channel.
