- Thousands of people listening to synchronized instructions participate in an audio adventure in New York’s Brooklyn Bridge Park. Full Story: improveverywhe... SUBSCRIBE: bit.ly/SubImprov JOIN US: improveverywher...
For our latest mission, thousands of people followed secret, synchronized instructions delivered via headphones in Brooklyn Bridge Park. The crowd of around 2,000 people created real-life Instagram Boomerangs, cheered for random joggers, and made music together with drum sticks and household objects, surprising the New Yorkers and tourists in the park. The drum sticks were generously donated by Promark, and the event was a partnership with Make Music New York. This was all part of our our fifteenth annual Mp3 Experiment event.
A huge thanks to the amazing community of people that come out to be a part of this event every year. So many of you came up to us to tell us how many years you've been doing it, or how far you traveled to be there (some from out of the country!) We're so proud of what a diverse, joyful celebration the Mp3 Experiment has become. As silly as the project is, it's life-affirming to be in a crowd of strangers, all smiling, laughing, and supporting each other. We support this free event by touring it to schools, festivals, and conferences around the world. If you want to hire us to stage one for you, get in touch - improveverywher...

This is such an innocent prank and it looks like it looks like it brought people together as a community. 👍
vesper wolf this is why pranks were invented
vesper wolf all of their pranks are like this, innocent and hilarious, bringing people together. That's why i love their channel
omg I can't believe there's been 15 already! I've been watching Improv Everywhere since I was in the 8th grade! I just finished grad school. How crazy is that?
Damn, we are old.
Improv Everywhere Right?
What's grad school?
Hey Laurence Alleman, Graduate School or Grad School is a type of higher Education someone might take after finishing a College Bachelor's degree, like Medical School for Doctors or Law School for Lawyers. Hope it helps!
My kid and I loved participating! So grateful for Improv Everywhere.
Simon Cousins did you see yourself in the video?
This was the first MP3 experiment I’ve actually been a part of instead of just watching it... God, it was so much fun being a part of this! Had to get a new bucket though, haha!
Thanks for coming!
Did you see yourself in the video?
Andrew Glinski I didn’t think I was in frame, but yep, I’m in the video 👌
Dhawk8 Aka Curdled Milk you should have worn a neon orange or yellow shirt to stand out and make yourself more easily recognizable😂
Andrew Glinski Yeah, I should’ve, but I thought I would go all “cool” with a Batman T-shirt, haha
2:25 Little Girl: IT SAID UNPAUSE
Ginger Dog that was adorable XD
The nerve of kids right
😂😂😂
I thought she said dad I'm high
SHHH, little girl, you'll break our cover!
Welcome to "lets make a whole bunch of people look insane in public!"
that is part of the fun am I right?:D
Strength in numbers!
Accurate
Well, its better than being sane sometimes. You should see me with my friends in public
Well that whole bunch of people are actually acting the same, aren't the "normal" ones looking like insane?
You should end every public mass flashmob with "every one picks two trash items from the ground" to clear the area from rubbish. That would be the perfect end leaving the place better looking than before.
We actually literally do this at every Mp3 Experiment. This year's script: "We're getting ready to finish up, but first we want to leave the lawn spotless, so pick up any additional items or trash you see in your area and put it in your bag. Make sure you take your props and drumsticks home with you. They are yours to keep. Let’s leave Brooklyn Bridge Park cleaner than how we found it." Trash pickup doesn't always make it into the video, because, you know, it's just people picking up trash.
Thats cool :-)
Asian kid in the striped shirt at 7:15 obviously started his MPV about 6 seconds after everybody else. 😂
Andrew Glinski 😂
😅😅😅
i love these videos so much. the way i tell people about them, you would think i was a part of the group.
I love these, those not in on the experiment just think everyone went crazy or is on drugs haha!
1:06 even after 15 years some people still dont know 😄
Damn I forgot I was subbed to you this video was a pleasant surprise!
Trident Remixes same , I was about to unsubscribe, watched the video and then realized why I was subscribed
I thought this was a dead channel. It’s nice to see a new video.
I missed watching these. I have waiting for this one.
Dude, I nearly got a heart attack when this popped up😂
The most important part is that a large group of people unitedly did something. Tremendous and extraordinary friendly behaviour rarely we can see now a days but the war & hatred between people.
Such a joyous and playful moments you people spent together. Respect the Human nature. 👍
nahid rahman that’s what I always think when I watch these videos, most people think it’s because of what they are doing that makes it so fun but in reality it’s the fact that they are doing it together, if you did alll this stuff alone it would be half as amazing, you probably wouldn’t even bother!
Kitty Mittens true fact. I expect more from this channel #improved everywhere. it's different and bring to people new ideas.
So happy that Improv Everywhere uploaded new video... I was waiting for this!
Just participated in this yesterday. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had
They shouldve randomly broke out into the cha cha slide.
Blanks great idea
It’s crazy that this was 2 years ago.... can’t even gather like this now 🥺
So, who was there?
Improv Everywhere not me 😔
Improv Everywhere I was there, so much fun to be a part of, from the human pool to the bucket towers, it was a lot of fun!
I was
You have proved you are legit by naming things not in the video that happened. Thanks for coming!
Improv Everywhere me
I'm looking forward to the MP3 experiment happening this Saturday, June 18, 2022.
At the end when everyone waving goodbye to the sky should have added Teletubbies baby in the Sun
I'm rewatching this at a time in 2021 when we can finally cautiously hope for an eventual return to normality thanks to vaccination and testing, but still face a lot of uncertainty due to virus variants and misinformation. It really makes me feel so melancholical. Like, this seems so far away in the past, even though it has only been 3 years. I want society to be able to return to how it used to be, but I know it won't. It will never be quite the same again, quite so innocent. The virus has scarred our collective consciousness and has made many feel deeply uncomfortable and vulnerable in the proximity of strangers.
I can imagine that there are still many people out there who would want to participate in fun social activities like this, myself included, but even among those people a sizable portion will probably feel uneasy at the prospect of high fiving strangers or having their personal space invaded for a photobomb.
Yes, wearing masks is a possible precaution, but it takes away so much of the emotional expression, which I would argue is a prerequisite for this sort of experience. You want to see the other people smiling, just as you want to smile yourself.
I don't know where exactly we will go from here, but I truly hope we will find ways to enjoy each other's presence again.
I was waiting for it!
America by far the best country. I love you all
so sad theres less and less participants every year :(
Ronald Camasura i feel like they purge their email lists or something. I no longer recieve their emails but not by my doing so I miss out on participating on recent events
:(( IF I WERE FROM AMERICA
@@misturrrbeest8770 same
this hits different
used to love these videos❤️ stumbled upon the channel again while cleaning out my subscription box. made my day
I was waiting for this since last year ❤️ I hope one day I’ll be with you ! 😊 and please guys make more videos
Gosh I love how they’ve been bringing people together for 15 years and not one of these videos have been boring :) every time I watch one of these i smile and laugh. These videos make my day!! Thank you Improv Everywhere.
I always get so emotional watching these. It's just so nice.
wow this was quickly uploaded. i wasn't expecting it to happen for about a month to 3 months lol i very much look forward to next years event! hopefully there would be a dancing one involve ;-)
People are nice and can have fun, its just that people like Improv Everywhere bring them all to one place! I loved it!!
YES! I was hoping so hard that we would get one this year
This was the very BEST one Yet! Loved it. . .
Too few views, love watching these every year!!! Love from India!
I’ve been waiting for so long! I love it! Looking forward to more videos!
Thebest thing about it is, that it's so innocent, no one is getting pranked or horrified - it just makes people feeling united.
It makes me so happy
This is the kind of DEMONSTRATIONS I like!! HUMAN BONDING LAUGHTER, SMILES, CHEERS!!
Yayayayaay! I've been waiting for your videos for a long time. It always brightens up my day! 😀😀
If this just happened near me i would be hella scared. Like WHAT IS HAPPENING
I would try to participate without knowing what's going on XD
Scarlet Moon i would too if i knew what was going on lol
I love your videos, i continuously watched 23 videos, it started from the quadruplets
Finally it came..!!!!
You guys are amazing

Evan

Been waiting for a video, for so long, the wait is over.😅😅😅😅😅😅👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩
I've been waiting for an upload
Hard to believe I've been subbed to you guys since you got recommended to me back in 2015. Time definitely flies hope ya'll get back to creating fun again soon. Miss seeing ya on my notifications. :)
After a long long time u have uploaded, thanks
Yay I missed this and missed you guys so much
I love how this event is all about uniting people, not just participants but everyone. You also see that every race and every color is represented having fun together.
White, asian, black, latino, arabic, male, female, young, old. These videos just make me so happy. Shame the 2019 one didn't get uploaded to youtube. and well, in 2020 this isn't possible.
I hope we will have a new upload in 2021 for the mp3 experiment.
Shame I can't participate myself from here in the Netherlands.
When they paused, all I could think of was “Freeze all motor functions”
Oh damn.....i was waiting for a new video...since agezzz...😍😍😍😍😍😍😍finally new video for new subscriber😁😁😁awesome
Really awesome! Love this channel
I love this channel so much.
Nice video once again, quality over time !
We need an event in the Seattle area. Physical distancing is possible. We just need something fun here in Seattle.
Awesome, this should be in every country!
I love these! To see everyone work together and create an amazing thing like this warms my heart!
I will definitely be in this eventually! Thanks for posting! :D
When some people have no rhythm at all and the drumming was just all over the place that hurt my ears
David Blaze i had that problem woth the singing
Maybe they started playing their recording a little later or faster than other people so their instructions weren't in complete sync with the majority of the people
Good to see a new video, I found this channel yesterday and thought you were no longer an active channel but glad to see that's not true
Nice! i’m planning on participating next year :)
Good to know this is still alive and there are still people who are participating =D
It’s fun to see people not part of this trying to participate with them
Imagine someone having a picnic in the middle of that area when they all ran😆😆😆😆
These videos are always amazing
Finally a new video! Im so hyped!
i loved it. a great initiative for a great social fun. thumbs up!
Improv Everywhere deserve much more subscribers. A "prank" channel that brings people together :)
I was waiting for this!! I'm so exsited to watch the whole thing!!
Este canal debería tener mil millones de visitas, todo lo que hacen es ÉPICO ❤
as a drummer, seeing all those drumsticks evoked a mixture of "oh thats awesome look at all those drumsticks" and "I want them all please"
Man, I can't believe so many people did it! I would love to bring it to where I'm living, but I'm from a small town, so 2,000 people is like the entire population! :)
this channel is not as famous as before...time flies, new channels really take over this channel
This is totally awesome!! Wish I was there!!
sigh... missed this one!! please make it a weekend next year!!
ooh sounds like the sync is a lot better now
These videos are amazing!
You should do a video of tons of little kids and parents all dressed up in Halloween costumes and start trick or treating but it’s not Halloween
This is great bringing people together :)
The only prank channel am subscribed to. Keep up the good work!
We need this Everywhere!!!
THANK YOU everyone for getting along great for the sake of FUN
This channel is amazing.
this seems so much fun. Can't believe I haven't heard of this living so close to nyc. I definetly need to be apart of one of these events.
i love this channel i wish they made videos more but i get its probably hard with all the people they need😫😫😫
I wanted to be a part so very badly...but friends canceled at the last minute. But this is awesome!!! We need more of this. Can you do one in Ga.
I like how people who aren't involved just slowly disappear from the video and it transforms from a "impress/confuse passersbys" to "do some funny stuff that could easily be made into a TV-show for small children"
Love these videos !
Dafuw its so fun that i was smiling and laughing the whole vid
I love these so much.
Yesss you're back!!!
I can't believe my eyes! A new video!
Finally after 10389272 years im waiting for this
This is now on my bucket list
Flash mobs are the best mobs
Why do I cry at all of these?
i love this 😅but wow how do you get so many people to participate it’s inspiring 🥰
I was there!! Had so much fun!!!!!!
IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG
dog at 6:55 got me.
