I have a dream that one day this nation will use my message of equality to promote drink specials in shitty bars on 8th Avenue.

Here is the official video for this year’s No Pants Subway Ride. Nearly 4,000 people rode the New York City subway in their underwear in the middle of winter. This was the 11th annual ride, and it also happened in 59 other cities around the world in 27 countries.
It took ten megaphones to get the job done, but we did it. Thanks to the other nine “Generals” for their help at the No Pants Subway Ride today, and thanks to the dozens more who helped organize, photograph, and shoot the event. We had nearly 4,000 participate in NY and many more in 59 cities around the globe. Check out Improv Everywhere for photos and reports. Awesome video coming soon!

Hello, I am a racing driver from Sydney, Australia. I soon will race in F1 or our national motorsport form V8 super cars. Can Impov Everywhere sponsor me as I love your videos and I really need sponsorship?
I think this guy needs to target bigger brands for the side of his car than a comedy website in New York.
Why aren’t we all talking about DOGGY SUNGLASSES right now?! I can’t stop laughing. Let’s see that stylish pup!
Best moment of all the GOP speeches tonight. I love this odd-couple! The oblivious homophobic wife and her fabulous husband!
One of the best podcast’s ever, The Sound of Young America, has been reborn as Bullseye. Check it out. I was first a guest on TSOYA in November, 2004 which was one of the very first media interviews I ever did. Host Jesse Thorn has been a great supporter of (and occasional participant with) Improv Everywhere over the years.
You can download a torrent of every episode of TSOYA ever for free, which should keep you busy for a year or so. The first episode of Bullseye features Chris Lilley from We Can Be Heroes, Summer Heights High, and Angry Boys.
To celebrate 10 years of The No Pants Subway Ride, director Matt Adams made this video telling the story of the very first event in 2002. It features an interview with a woman who was on the train that day and wound up being the star of the video. This footage was shot as part of a documentary Adams is making about Improv Everywhere, which you can support on Kickstarter.
The 2012 No Pants Subway Ride is this Sunday in New York and dozens of other cities around the world.
There is an official t-shirt for The No Pants Subway Ride this year! The ride is on Sunday in New York and dozens of other cities around the world.
Details coming tomorrow.
