Improv Everywhere: Frozen Grand Central

Improv Everywhere is a NYC-based group with one goal: to cause scenes.

They're easily one of my favorite groups to follow as they do funny and completely harmless pranks. The word "prank" is often associated with harmful activities at the expense of someone else, and sometimes they are either emotionally or physically painful. However, Improv Everywhere is a group of pranksters who actually aim to make people feel good by presenting them with absurd situations in unexpected places. Most people respond with smiles, laughter, and more than a little confusion. What more could you ask for?

Here's a very popular, and yet very simple, prank (or "mission" as they're called) that happened in 2008. It is currently the Improv Everywhere video with the highest number of views on YouTube at well over 34,000,000. Enjoy!
