For our latest Improv Everywhere mission, our friend Rob pretended to get lost at a Knicks game.
He went to get some snacks but when trying to find his way back, he kept appearing further and further away from where our seats were.
His friends were constantly keeping an eye out for him and would start screaming his name every time they spotted him.
The people sitting around them started to notice that Rob was lost and decided to join in.
and the crowd grew,
and grew,
and grew!
Suddenly hundreds of people were shouting for Rob.
Can you find Rob?
People were completely unaware at the time that they were pretty much playing a giant game of Where's Waldo.
When Rob finally found his way back the entire place exploded. More people were cheering for Rob than for the Knicks!
The video is absolutely hilarious. You must watch just to see everyone's enthusiasm and all the fun chants the crowd made up.

just by reading this entry, i'm already excited! i'll watch the video once i get some headphones. can't have any noise here in the computer lab.
amazing!
That's hilarious! Improv Everywhere always has the best missions.
That was so fun! I doubt if something like that happened in my country, people around would help to search for Rob. xD
So stinking funny! Man I wish I was in NYC so I could take part in Improv Everywhere missions, they always look like such fun!
I have to say his expression in the first photo is hilarius.
I also enjoyed the fact that he's wearing a red and white stripped top, but it's not obvious.
EXCELLENT! People can be GOOD afterall! Very fun! Keep up the great improv missions, very much appreciated.
this is awesome!
one of my favorites so far!
I adore this, how funny!
This has totally and completely brightened my day. I need to get to a computer that will play it, because I can't wait to watch the video! Thanks a lot for sharing this.
ROFLOL!! This makes me sooo want to try this the next time we go to a hockey game--but I'm afraid that we wouldn't be able to pull it off to the same brilliant effect as Improv Everywhere!
That's hilarious! How do you guys come up with such funny ideas?!
That right there..........comedy GOLD!!!!!
I would love to volunteer with you guys and do something like this. A dream job indeed!

Ah I so want to join Improve everywhere sometime!! we should have that in Sweden too...
That just brought tears to my eyes!
How hilarious, could you maybe come to Portland, OR sometime? We could use a little hilarity too.
That is so funny!! I love the excitement and energy of everyone! And people say New Yorkers aren't nice!
That's awesome! TFS!
You guys rock! I love these! You guys should consider doing like a nationwide "tour". Arizona needs some fun!
I'm listening to This American Life about the I.E. mission your group did at Starbucks. So far, so good. Interesting.
So I just finished listening to the This American Life. I guess it was about much more than the Starbucks mission. Were you a part of the Ted's B-day party or Ghost Apasha? Really crazy stories. I LOVE This American Life.
improv everywhere gets such great ideas - you all do such amazing things. i wish i lived in america so i could see or be a part of it all rather than reading or watching videos with jealousy! hahahah :o)
that is sooooo awesome!!
KATIE: "Where's Rob?" made it to the MSN.com homepage. That means that everybody and her grandma has seen it now! Congratulations!
I wish I was there for this. How awesome. Love the creativity and getting others to join in.
I LOVE Improv everywhere! Thanks for doing your part to make the world a more whimsical and enchanted place. Merry Christmas!!
That is my favorite EVER!
