For our latest Improv Everywhere mission, we reenacted a scene from Star Wars on the subway.
Princess Leia went out for what she thought was a quiet ride on the train,
when suddenly Stormtroopers entered!
They quickly spotted her,
captured her,
and took her to the doors on the opposite side of the train.
Of course Darth Vader decided to pop in and join the party.
The entire train car broke out in laughter!
It always makes me so happy to see complete strangers laughing with each other.

Hahaha, every time I watch one of these videos I'm more surprised by the people who just ignore it and act like it's an everyday thing! Only in NY :)
Love it! I don't know what I laughed at most- the guy's reaction to the book title, the people getting off when the Stormtroopers got on and they didn't even blink or look twice, the Stormtrooper who seemed to have a few costume issues, or the lady who almsot lost a hand in the subway door so she could get her shot!
This is so funny! I was laughing the whole time, the reactions of the other subway riders were priceless. I'm sending this to my friend who is a diehard star wars fan!
That looks great,
but I don't think I've ever seen that movie. Or maybe I just don't remember the scene. Oh well, it's still funny I guess.
so hysterical - love this!
that is hilarious!

so hilarious and creative!!! lol i love it
Love it! Lol.
Princess Leia reading the Galactic Battles for Dummies was right on point. The nosy person next to her trying to read the title of her book was a classic interaction on the train. Lol.
The icing on the cake was when Darth Vader got on.
Made my day! Love New York!
Soooo cool, i wish i was there =D
This is so brilliant! You guys are incredible. I love Improv Everywhere.
I love, love, love the book title. Everyone was in character. You're brilliant!
Hahah omg, this is so funny! I loved seeing the reactions of the people. Its awesome how that brought then a little sunshine in perhaps their boring subway ride =)
Hahah
This is fantastic!
so fun! would love to see it happening in my country. love the reactions of the commuters. so much laughter!
Oh my oh my oh my!!! This had me laughing so much! I LOVED when the little kids were looking into the subway.. so confused! HA!!
This made my year.
I'm just amazed how everyone either laughed or ignored what was going on. I'd be convinced it was some kind of killer in a suit...I would be entirely freaked out by this one.
This. Is. Awesome. =)
Yup! My son was grinning ear to ear and says, "COOL!" and my wee girl applauded at the end! Thanks again! :>
That was awesome! I wish those sorts of things were done here. How funny!
Bwahahaha!!! Galactic Rebellion for Dummies... awesome!
I wish you lived near *me*!!!

Do people ever jump into stuff like this? how would you feel if, or how do you feel when or if people do?
Hahahahaha, how funny, that's brilliant! I love that shot of Leia being captured.
Completely and wonderfully awesome!!

I really thought this was going to end badly when I saw the super-solemn faces of all the people in the first few photos. I was picturing some heroic bodybuilder-type standing up to the Storm Troopers to rescue Leia.
Incidentally, I have never seen the "Star Wars" movies and basically have no idea what's going on here. Fun!
it's awesome.
I had to share this video on my blog 'cause I enjoyed it SO much!
Makes me want to move to Brooklyn, so I can witness the shenanigans in person. :)
Thanks for making the world a better place through laughter!
That was just FUN, guys!
Love what you're doing!!
haha, I wish something like that would happen in my town!
lovely blog!
May the force be with you!
hahaha very good!
The man beside the princess was funny too.

There was a small article about this in the Finnish media! Weird, I'd say.
Anyway this was sooooo gooood, wish something like this would happen in my city as well!
(here's a link to the article, just in case: http://www.iltasanomat.fi/viihde/uutinen.asp?id=2225953 )
This was on the Australian national morning show this morning. Awesome!
You made me laugh too!
hahah! thats soo funny!!
the talents on the subways are always funny!! the E train at 53rd and lex platform always has the best singers/musicians! seriously! I always get my groove on while waiting for the train!
My hubby saw a clip of that on ESPN and I said I bet that's Improv Anywhere by Color Me Katie. Is that weird that I knew that right off the bat?! :o) Great stuff.
These Improv Anywhere skits are hilarious. I just found your blog and love it!
