"Orchestra in a Box Truck" should be a service anyone can order.
lol that's so cool!
You guys are always so awesome!!! Thank you for doing this, this holiday season
:)
The irony is that your channel is called Improv(e) Everywhere and the sad fact is that this video would have been awesome if performed anywhere else but in a garden from a wealthy family that has enough money to order a show like this if they didn't do so and this being the result?
I'm gonna remove my subscription after all this time because the name of this channel is unbelievable now. Like there is no other family in America that could have used something cheerful like this? I mean what the fuck man!?
***** Wow. Just wow. Your comment is so incredibly idiotic that there is nothing left to say.
kkdkoolkat2, and your reply tells us that a stick is made of wood. With other words,
respond with something interesting!
Your response is idiotic simple, you meant; "I dissagree with you so you must be #crazy".
Something your pretty face can't make up for!
That deserves a +1 and proud to say I gave it. ;-)
You guys have more fun than anyone on UA-cam.
more fun than you?
I think that exposing 5 Santas to kids who probably still believe in him should be a sin.
Why aren't you verified yet?
Can't not be a Fanboy.
Bob Bobby Everyone knows the real santa sends those santas to spread holiday cheer like at malls. They work for santa, man
Delightful. Please bring the orchestra to my house next.
You would prank them lol
Mine too.
Hey Greg! 😊
No
Agreed.
They are robbing their house from behind! THIS IS A DISTRACTION!!!! GOOOOO!!!!
+Delta Devine this made me laugh xD
That's a damn good idea though
Robbers Can Afford an Orchestra??!!! XD Robbed Someone To Pay Them lol
I was thinking the exact same thing! XD
I said the same thing!! 🤣
The little girl was like "Am I supposed to be impress? Do you not find this entertaining?"
Frostandice same with her brother!! How did you not see that part??? The fuck....
Every other caroling group better step their game up now.
ooh
I love this because those little kids are gonna remember this forever
Can you guys come to Nerdist next, pretty pretty pleeeease?
We're at your front door now.
***** Dont show up unexpectedly to my front door. Im a slightly overweight man and I like to walk around naked! ;) Call ahead and I'll be decent!
When you guys doing L.A.?
or to brazil?
ok, i think they not gonna do this ; - ;
tiago ap sim, não virão :/
Then they said "that will be $30,000 sir."
Rome Blanchard :D -> D:
LOL😂😂😂😂😂i'm crying 😂😂😂😂😂
Aww~ the little boy looked so ecstatic! His little sister seemed terrified though hahaha.
What a lucky family! ⸝₍̗⁽ˆ⁰ˆ⁾₎͕⸍∘˚˳°✧
NOW BRING IN THE CHRISTMAS STUNT PLANES!
You appear almost anywhere in UA-cam.
+Rob Dyke Rob Dyke: Not just a fan of creepy stuff. Also a fan of adorableness.
The neighbors are not very curious, aren't they?
Yeah... with the music is so loud!! Where are the neighbors? They were TOO well dressed to be surprised! It was a nice performance, though!
According to the backstory: improveverywhere.com/2014/12/16/epic-christmas-caroling/
There actually were curious neighbors in the background, you just didn't see em
Sulis Looney they were told they were getting a family photo shot there. its not their house.
they've already done this several times. Reading the description would be great
missxmeee I'm not saying it's fake... Such scene and the street is empty. Just that! I've read the description and the links, I saw some pictures of some curious neighbours.
Good thing they arent those type of families that be like "keep off the grass!"
Lol that would have been so funny
they have kids so of course xD
This just got this cold hearted UA-cam channel into the Holiday Spirit.
"What was your favourite part, Jack?"
"UUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!"
-Jack, 2014
The big smiles on the family's faces is wonderful and priceless.
Dad be like: Dang it! Now I have to clean up all this fake snow
Except, it isn't their house, fortunately to them. Read the BTS ;)
+ATNR. Oh haha that's funny!
***** Oh, not to mention the fake snow is also water soluble
improveverywhere.com/2014/12/16/epic-christmas-caroling/
This is wonderful. I tear'd up at the thought that there are still awesome people in the world like this. Merry Christmas.

OK
The little kid was disappointed there was 4 santa's.
Imagine if they just heard "SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!"
1:12 I love the stone cold expression of the daughter. She's like "These human meat bags are making noise in our domain."
Those guys have a really big ass TV lol
those owners of the house that was rented **
TRUE lmaooo
Amazingly beautiful ❤️. The smiles on their faces speaks volumes. A memorable Christmas indeed
Aaaand then the cops came cause they woke up literally everyone in the neighborhood.
Honestly
It was 6pm tho..
Imagine giving the family beautiful memori especially for the kids. What a wonderful people 💖

That's awesome.
This is beautiful. How these people gave up their Christmas to perform and make others day better
Great idea! Pranks like this are awesome, because they are just about beeing nice to someone, not trying to scare anyone :)
Merry christmas everyone!
This family’s expression of happy surprise made my 💜 laugh/cry. What a beautiful thing!
Awesome! This is the kind of "pranks" UA-cam lacks.
I'm glad to be a long time improveverywhere subscriber because of this!
I accidentally found this channel and I'm crying 😭 so much good and love. this is human we all want. be kind always no matter how hard life is.
I'm surprised the neighbours didn't come outside to watch as well...
I was think that as well
Prob out of town
there were no original santas in the production, so dont be surprised why the nieghbors did not come out to watch as well
I bow to the comic genius that is "Charlie Todd."
Awesome video guys!!
It's 4/11/2020 Anyone else watching this and actually enjoying it? I know I am. Just seeing the joy and happiness in this video brought a few tears of joy. Stay safe and Happy Easter everyone.

Located in the description, bring me to a page about buying instagram followers?
I wasn't in the mood for Christmas until I saw this! Fantastic job guys! Merry Christmas!!!
Awhh this was so cool! They all looked so happy! Awesome video :)
There is not only one Santa, that's how he do to give gifts all around the world ! I knew it !
I always end up sort of happy crying whenever I watch the Improv Everywhere videos.
This is absolutely PRICELESS - - both for the family and the viewers. Great job.
Lol, after that night..... Daddy! Why was there 5 Santa Claus? -.-
This is the only channel that has ever given me the widest smiles ever!
Kids: Why are there multiple Santas?
Dad: Well kids, you know they're multiple people paid to dress like---
Mom: BECAUSE SANTA IS MAGICAL.
No matter what you do, someone will always be so eager to find fault with it. Even if they have to project their own crap onto it because it doesn't cater for every extremely specific group. This was kind and just plain fun.
"Thanks for ruining my lawn carolers!"
Very nice and wonderful thing to do for the employees to share during this holiday season. It's not just about gift giving.
That was very cool! Well done! However I couldn't help but be distracted by the biggest tv in the world hanging in that guys living room. This is a very deserving neighborhood.
don't forget, that was a rented house that family was invited to to "take family portraits" lol
read the description.....
these are the kind of "pranks" that youtube needs! Completely innocent and heartwarming! good job
There's a reason why they have a link of a behind the scenes: so the comment section isn't littered with hundreds of confused or skeptical comments. I'll take it to my responsibility to share with you what happened: They pretended to be shooting a family Christmas photo in a house that would soon "so happen" to have Christmas carolers, to ensure the family is camera ready and that they celebrate Christmas.
Bless that family. They look like they are totally enjoying all of it XD
1:00 the length of time she held her mouth open though
i get the joke lol, LOVE YOU SINC
=OOOOO
Way to be in the holiday spirit. Very classy.
i do that alot when im gazing off
That family is picture-perfect.
My guess this was a surprise for the kids and the parents knew ^.^ but that was great! Keep at it improv!
Thats what I was guessing ^.^
What a beautiful family!!! Literally family goals
Also check out last year's Christmas video: ua-cam.com/video/I9JZSlGiaNg/v-deo.html
OMG I cried when I saw the expression of the family and how they made them happy!! ❤️
that was so nice and kind and happy !!
The dad looks like the guy from two and a half men O.o
Haha I know I was thinking that too... That is that Jon Cryer?! =P
this is the right way to do pranking, funny, harmless, and even joyful. loved it
Hey, that was nice guys, but we're Jewish
Your the one that clicked on the video
@@sjjdhdu2668 Pretty sure he's speaking as the family they knocked on, not someone watching the video.
the BESTest ever 'ImprovEverywhere' yet - thank you so much - still smiling!!! :)
Great job ruining this family for every other year when this DOESN'T happen.
Ive watched some of ur vids before lmao
Sitting here crying over how magical this was.
I feel like this was staged with the family. The wife was over dressed... Could be mistaken tho :D
It did look a bit like they were having a small Christmas party of sort, also
Agree
You can see in a couple of scenes that the very little kid is covering her ears like: "MAKE IT STOP!"
They explain it in the behind-the-scenes.....The short version is that the mom was sorta of an accomplice (she knew something was gonna happen, but she didn't know exactly what it was)
They thought they were having a family photo that's why they are dressed smart they got told to answer the door bell as other family's would be turning up
My daughter is 3 and she dances to EVERYTHING! And she'd feel like she was in heaven if this happened at our house. She'd be out on the lawn dancing with everyone.
And after it all they just say "We're Jewish."
U are the people that keep the world going
:22 Jerry Seinfeld sure has gained weight!
Love his double take when he opens the door!
hello dispatch?
i'd like to make a noise complaint
this really gave me Christmas spirit. it's the middle of summer.
it was awesome, but the fruity guy singing about marshmallows ruined it for me
This brought such a smile to my face. Thanks for existing, ImprovEverywhere. :)
I use to like IMPROV EVERYWHERE. But looking at the video, why are all the "surprised" people wearing coats, makeup, jewelery. It has all been staged, and I will remember that from now on, it is not IMPROV anymore... Who wears coats inside their home? FAIL
they should have a separate set of videos for "staged performances"
read the BTS: improveverywhere.com/2014/12/16/epic-christmas-caroling/
Nice , I just wish for more surprise, I know it's costly..
I want more "improv"...
engineer57 You also notice all the homes and neighborhoods are very expensive. Not in areas that need it most!!!
The look on those kids faces was precious
Wow, you made a rich white family even happier. How nice.
Here's a pro tip: Next time try something actually meaningful, and do that in an orphanage or hospital.
Here's a tip for you: stfu. Instead of complaining you do something.
pmbarro Agreed.
When was the last time you performed a concert at a hospital, you bitter hypocrite?
'Happiness' is priceless, it shouldnt solely be reserved for poor and ill, and a hard working 'white' family deserves it too.
I know you meant it in a good way, but thats a shitty thing to say dude.
I know it came of mean. But I'm being real.
Seeing some random happy family with an awesome house getting an awesome gift when I can't even afford a tree this holidays, ticked me off.
And even if I'm not supper wealthy I do often make charity donations. Either on the web or my old clothes to shelters.
And I don't need to make a freaking video to get the seal of approval of some random person on the internet. It's not about you or me. It about doing the right thing.
I love how at the end the little boy is just like "dont make me choose!!!"
This was truly epic! I especially loved the regency costumes in the beginning, and the look on the people's faces XD
I don't know why I'm crying hahaha It's just so beautiful, making christmas even more magical for the kids, it's priceless. Congratulations!
I like how improv everywhere is just bent ok having a blast and making an amazing five minutes.
Its awesome that these people were okay with this. I've seen a lot of people in my town just slam their doors in their faces. Its great that even on thier Christmas night they still open up their doors for the people to sing
This was so beautiful and fun, I love Christmas🎄
Wow the dad has a really nice smile.
Thanks. I'm not even a Christian, but that not stopping me from enjoying the video. It's all about family values. That was epic :)
Those kids will never forget that
what a beautifull family
That was just so nice. It made me teary-eyed. Improve Everywhere you just rock.
Best reactions anyone could possibly expect. Hail Fellow, well met.
They sound beautiful
What an effort. So shocking but at the same time, so heart touching. Anyway, ADVANCE MERRY CHRISTMAS FOLKS!
2:06 the mother's expression when she realizes she has to clean whatever that Santa is throwing in the air.
This is one hell of a story to tell your grand children.
I dont know why im crying af while watching this
If I were a kid, this is would literally nake me life.
Fabulous.
Its october and I am binge watching christmas videos.....toooooooooooooooooo excited !!!!!!!!
