cityfile · 09/22/09 01:54PMThe pranksters at Improv Everywhere have struck again: "For our latest mission, we installed a photography studio on a random subway car. We claimed that the MTA had hired us to take photos of every single person who rides the subway and that we'd be producing a yearbook at the end of the year. Most people were happy to pose for us, and the resulting photos show just how diverse New York subway riders can be." Bonus: They show just how gullible New Yorkers can be, too.

Improv Everywhere Strikes Again
cityfile · 03/18/09 08:30PMThe merry pranksters from Improv Everywhere have posted their latest "mission" online. They set up an art gallery opening at the 23rd Street subway station, had tuxedoed waiters hand out drinks, recruited a cellist to perform, and put little signs next to the fixtures thereby "transforming them into works of art." Video of the group's antics is below.

cityfile · 11/17/08 01:23PMMassive Liberal Conspiracy Behind Fake Times
Ryan Tate · 11/12/08 11:06PMIt's true, as we reported this morning, that the the liberal prank group The Yes Men was behind today's spoof left-utopian Times. But there were so many more commie pinkos involved in the plot! The cabal sent out a press release tonight, revealing that their ranks include the Yes Men, protest group Code Pink (which disrupted the Republican National Convention and fought Marine Corps recruiting), Improv Everywhere (they did that tear-jerking little league thing), Anti Advertising Agency (the ad-sticker people) and a few others we're less familiar with. They want to make the headlines come true! So cute. After the jump, read the press release and find out which of their claims is being disputed by the Times.
America Needs Pranks
Nick Douglas · 06/11/08 02:12PMImprov Everywhere just started a new blog, Urban Pranks, to document the many public stunts the group has inspired. The New York group famous for showing up at Best Buy in blue polos and freezing Grand Central has offshoots across the country that are doing things like a protest against protesting, a dinner party at Ikea, and a button in a park that says "Do Not Push" (when it was pushed, planted agents dance to "Everybody Dance Now" &mash; clip below). The blog does a great job quickly explaining each prank and then showing the money shot. And it's a sign of a much-needed rise in public silliness, which is just what young media types need.
Improv Everywhere Gives Little League Team Their Best Game Ever
Nick Douglas · 04/09/08 04:25AMImprov Everywhere is the cosmic balance to Gawker: a group of real-world performance artists who generally make people feel like the world is a magical place. And in this clip that's been making the rounds, they turn a little league baseball game into a major league match, with an NBC sportscaster, a Jumbotron, and I won't ruin the rest. See below.
