For our latest Improv Everywhere mission, we brought the movie Ghostbusters to life in the New York Public Library!
We had three ghosts walk in and take a seat to read,
surf the web,
and look up words in the dictionary.
After some time the Ghostbusters came in,
and chased the ghosts all around the reading room!
Libraries always make me feel uncomfortable because of how quiet they are so it was wonderful to see the entire room burst out in laughter and applause!
This is me exploding with cheesy joy to be hanging out with Ghostbusters.
How fun! I love this idea!
ReplyDeleteTHIS. This is amazing! Improv Everywhere never fails to make me smile like crazy. And what a beautiful library!
ReplyDeleteOh this is my favorite improv everywhere to date. It made me smile so so big and I needed it today. You never cease to make me happy.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite part is how happy people look! what a sweet improv
ReplyDeleteyou are so awesome! and beautiful! i stayed home from school today because i'm sick and i havent smiled all day... until now! thank you! :D xxxx
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! You guys are great. :)
ReplyDeletethat is so fabulous! love seeing those ghostbusters and the looks on everyone's faces :)
ReplyDeletexo, juliette
HAHAHAHA. that moment at 1:05 where the dude picks up his phone and mouths "What the F***" is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome video! ^-^
Looks like you guys had a lot of fun!!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to sit in the library and have all goshtbuster around de... and ghost...wooow!
ReplyDeletewonderful! can't wait to share this with my girl.
ReplyDeleteI love it! This put a big smile on my face to start the day with :)
ReplyDeleteThat was so much fun!
ReplyDeleteThe quietness in libraries makes me uncomfortable too. So I text a lot in there! (I wonder how I never got caught. we're not allowed to text in the National Library here...)
I haven't seen the video as yet, just read the post and saw the photographs. Thank you for making us smile.
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious! It seriously made my day :)
ReplyDeleteMy face hurts from smiling so much. That was great.
ReplyDeleteI love the pic of the ghost reading the dictionary. So odd looking.
This was so awesome, definitely made my day! And that library is amazingly huge!
ReplyDeleteThat was the best. My cheeks hurt from smiling. I love everyone's faces as they try and figure out what's going on. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is amazing. I'm definitely in a better mood after watching it!
ReplyDeleteThat would've been such a fun and interesting scene to see!
ReplyDeleteStay happy,
Leona.
so fun!! well done!
ReplyDeletethis is one of the best things ive ever seen! thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing the other people snapping pictures.
ReplyDeletemy cheeks hurt from smiling! haha that is so great! i love it!
ReplyDeleteG-E-N-I-U-S!!! My family (Including extended ones) are big fans of Ghostbusters so this video makes our wweek! :)
ReplyDeleteahhhhh!!!! how fun!! i love it! i would have died if i were in the library. so funny!
ReplyDeleteI always get excited to see Improv Everywhere has posted another video. Nice one! :)
ReplyDeletethat is AWESOME
ReplyDeleteI LOVED THIS. I was smiling the entire 3 1/2 minutes. Awesome job!
ReplyDeleteNot to spoil the mood or anything, I love improv, and the supermarket musical was genius, but isn't it a little unfair to do this in a library?
ReplyDeleteSpeaking as a student who relies on the city and university libraries as a source of information and a place to get some work done away from the distractions of the internet and whatnot I'd be a little teed off if just as I got into some complicated subject people started running around and being distracting. Maybe if it were done around the shelves rather than in the reading room...?
I loved this! Laughed so hard.
ReplyDelete@ Kiri- It only lasted a few minutes and everyone seemed to love it. In fact, the library actually contacted us to do a prank in the reading room! The library is facing budget cuts so we made this video to help save the library =)
ReplyDeleteeu queria estar lá nesse momento! um grande filme que estará sempre vivo em nossas memórias.
ReplyDeleteadorei o vÃdeo.
beijos...
Que felices los estudiantes al desconectar por un momento de sus estudios con una performance tan divertida!
ReplyDeleteBesos
i love this! i was just giggling when the ghosts came inside the library one by one but as soon as the ghostbusters started walking slowly in, i was laughing out loud! alone! ahahahaha you guys are great!
ReplyDeleteHAHA! Thank you! That totally made my day!
ReplyDeleteThanks for making me smile! Awesome job! :DD
ReplyDeletehaha. I love it! And I have to admit - most improvs I would do, but being disruptive in a library takes some real courage! I guess I've been in strict schools too long... hahaha
ReplyDeleteThis is so awesome! I wish I had witnessed it :D
ReplyDeletei wish we were there. hopefully we can catch an improve everywhere event before we leave nyc!
ReplyDelete@phoenix Peacock- We had permission from the library to be disruptive but I still felt nervous because it's so dead quiet in there! The actors are definitely brave =)
ReplyDeletehahah excellent! this made my day :) thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis is so funny! Looks like fun.
ReplyDeletehahaha! this is awesome i wish i could have been there!
ReplyDeleteomg me and my husband just got done watching that! awesome!
ReplyDeleteI am crying! That was SO freaking funny!!! Great job!
ReplyDeleteOk, how in the heck do those ghostbuster guys keep a straight face???? Personally I love the quiet in a library but this would have made me laugh for sure. I love that ghost reading the book. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHAHA! Thanks for doing this!
ReplyDeleteI wrote about this on my blog:
http://kogelvrij.blogspot.com/2010/05/ghostbusters.html

ReplyDeleteI wish something like that would happen near where I lived... thanks for sharing, it made my day! :)
I was just in that library with by brother 2 weekends ago! Wish I had went yesterday instead!
ReplyDeleteHilariously awesome! You are a genius.
ReplyDeletei hope i can experience one of these someday. they look like the most fun, especially in that fantastic library!

ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant. Those poor folks trying to concentrate in the reading room didn't have a ghost of a chance.
ReplyDeleteKatie and Matty, I loved this...this is my type of humour...wish I was closer so I could play with you...
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and keep up the fun...
I might be laughing at this all day now too! Loved it!
ReplyDeleteAMAZING!
ReplyDeleteGreat, it's very funny!
ReplyDeleteAhhh! Ghostbusters never fails to be a crowd pleaser.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this. How fantastic.
ReplyDeleteHow fun is this?! I'd just watched the video and a local TV News station here in Los Angeles (ktla.com) just did a story on it, showing some of the chase scenes with the music and everything, and naming Improv Everywhere by name along with why you did it, too - so cool to know that word of you all is getting out there even here on the West Coast! I'm forwarding this to my FB friends who'll get a big kick out of this! Great job, everyone involved with this :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the dream! To be studying in the library and have the ghostbusters come in! Amazeballs.
