- Tomholius, on 07/07/2008, -2/+74"There must be a twin conference going on or something" - LOL
- theOster, on 07/08/2008, -0/+6i think they should have had one set on the train and then at every stop a twin gets on and stands in the vicinity of the other and just keep building like that down the entire line.
- kalle86, on 07/08/2008, -1/+2As soon as I heard that woman, I knew she was from Sweden.
- Micherik, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2Well, it wasn't a 100%, but I'll agree with you kalle since I believe you're Swedish with your great name.
- Selvo, on 07/07/2008, -1/+76God I wish I was one of the clueless morons that experienced this *****. lol
- burnin8r28, on 07/08/2008, -4/+1how come these tings never go wrong?
- RUGERSP101, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3They were arrested a couple of times.
- fas2, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2Why?
- RUGERSP101, on 07/09/2008, -0/+0for not wearing pants on the subway and for creating a disturbance with the fake U2 concert
- PunkRampant, on 07/08/2008, -0/+6God I wish I was one of the clever geniuses who coordinated this *****.
- sagat, on 07/07/2008, -2/+34If I was to step onto the 4 train to such a sight I would definitely back away slowly, go home quit drinking, leave my wife and joining a monastery while awaiting the imminent end of days. Granted I would have made sure Charlie Todd wasn't in the carriage prior to freaking out.
- theOster, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2lex line. everyone has a duplicate. appears to be all white (sorry doro twins - i think you were a token). what a great commentary on that trains demographic.
- angelrendon, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3It was the 6 train.
- sagat, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1First one was the 4 train running local on the 6 line. Sorry eyes of an eagle here.
- ankeshk, on 07/07/2008, -2/+22This needs to get more diggs in the first 24 hours! Its way too cool...
- British0zzy, on 07/08/2008, -0/+7this was definitely the best Improv Everywhere mission

- trshtehdsh, on 07/07/2008, -0/+14Anyone else noticed that Stone and Stone from Last Comic Standing are one of the sets of twins? Wish my twin and I could've been there, it likely would have been one of two "hey, we're twins things" we'd ever done in our life.
- ngmcs8203, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3FTA: "You may recognize the Stone twins from their appearances on NBC’s Last Comic Standing. They’re a stand up comedy duo."
I had to read it to get there names, but I spotted them in the video too. - wellyuk, on 07/08/2008, -1/+1What was the other "hey, we're twins thing" you've done? Double-teamed a girl/boy?
- ticookie, on 07/08/2008, -0/+0They're part of the reason I watched the video. ImprovEverywhere + Stone and Stone = Genius.

- ohmytodd, on 07/07/2008, -0/+44they should have done this at 2 in the morning when everyone comes onto the subway drunk and or high to get the maximum effect of screwing with people.
- harlowsmonkeys, on 07/08/2008, -1/+29It can be very confusing to a high person when something weird happens. The first time I decided to try a mind-altering substance (magic mushrooms), I was in college, and picked the night of the annual college trip to Disneyland. I figure the campus would be close to deserted, and that would be best, as I didn't want to have to deal with a lot of people.
I take the 'shrooms, they start to have their effect, and I go out to look at the stars and then head over to the pinball machines. While playing pinball, a couple people I don't recognize (small school--Caltech--so I should recognize most people there) walk by. They are Chinese, and speaking Chinese. Weird. More walk by--Chinese people speaking Chinese. I'm getting a little weirded out by this, so leave the pinball room, and head over to the coffeehouse for a snack.
The coffeehouse is full of Chinese people, speaking Chinese.
I go over the to student recreational center. It's full of Chinese people, speaking Chinese.
I'm getting seriously freaked out at this point. I had researched the hell out of the possible effects of magic mushrooms, and having the who freaking world turn Chinese was NOT one of them.
Turns out the small Chinese Student Union at Caltech had also noticed that Disneyland night would be a time when the campus would be mostly empty--and so decided to throw a big party, and invite all the Chinese students from UCLA and USC. Doh! - mrmontan, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1Now, if a drunk/high person started beating one twin, would the other still have to mirror him/her?

- lbonline, on 07/07/2008, -1/+10I love it! This is awesome, human sociology, good, clean fun.
- orenshk, on 07/07/2008, -1/+11Improv everywhere are amazing.
- BradyDale, on 07/07/2008, -0/+43It's a little creepy how the twins in the blazers are trying to get on the twins in the dresses. The ladies don't seem 100% pumped about it.
- ippey, on 07/07/2008, -0/+44They'll have to be simultaneously rejected.
- Tinu, on 07/07/2008, -1/+1My favorite part was in the article where they talked about behaving as if there was nothing wrong if the twins were approached. That's just hilarious to me.
- ExtremeEzine, on 07/07/2008, -5/+1Thanks Tinu, I needed a laugh. Wouldn't it be great to do that stuff for a living?
- moviscop, on 07/07/2008, -14/+6that kinda sucked...
- vMsam, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1awwww you kinda suck :[
- Disease, on 07/07/2008, -1/+3 That was trippy.
- Brennn10, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1It's a twin thing.
- MScrip, on 07/07/2008, -0/+5The Port twins are cute!
- ileftfark, on 07/08/2008, -0/+14Cool idea, not enough (good) reactions. Their Suicide Jumper and Little Big League Baseball ones were definitely bigger hits. A ***** blimp and Jumbotron at a little league game - coolest ***** ever.
They should've gone to a Best Buy or Walmart or something.- Smuikas, on 07/08/2008, -2/+1There aren't any walmarts in NYC. Well... Manhattan, anyway.
- Origin415, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1They've been to Best Buy. It didn't end well.
- Jpardue, on 07/08/2008, -0/+3Not one of their best, but still funny...
- ari25, on 07/08/2008, -0/+8Oh man...if only my twin bro wasn't evil
- houndeyex, on 07/08/2008, -3/+8Meh
- chestr, on 07/08/2008, -3/+3It'd be more impressive if when you sat down your twin sat down across from you.
But you don't have a twin. - edud, on 07/08/2008, -14/+1Buried for being pointless.
- frenchkick, on 07/08/2008, -1/+2improve everywhere...they do good work
- RUGERSP101, on 07/08/2008, -3/+3For this to work they needed to have more twins. With only 8 pairs it just seems like a bunch of twins out acting weird in order to be attention whores. Improv Everywhere is a massive attention whoring enterprise, but normally there is enough comedy involved to make it worthwhile. If I was on that train I would probably just think whatever and go on about my business and forget about it. If I saw this live I wouldn't even bother telling my friends about it.
- spoonboy, on 07/08/2008, -1/+5The twins in blue look hot
- ZER0JACK, on 07/08/2008, -0/+19Reminds me of this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ynfNfCqLlo - Thefatheroftime, on 07/08/2008, -4/+2Good idea, but needed to be more clandestine. They had huge TV cameras interviewing people on the train. There needed to be no hint that this was being recorded.
- Origin415, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1They use hidden cameras.
- cam0man, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1I can only imagine the freakout potential if I stumbled onto that train baked.
improv everywhere > * - Somedude2137, on 07/08/2008, -6/+1some people have wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much time on their hands..... but cool nonetheless
- AceFive, on 07/08/2008, -7/+1You know what I hate?
When people use fish eye lenses and it is not necessary- teh_spazz, on 07/08/2008, -1/+4You know what I hate? Elitists like you.
- Xcrion, on 07/08/2008, -6/+0the girl with the blue shirt looks nice...:
)ӘO OGC - branndon, on 07/08/2008, -1/+1About 5/6 of the way through, the red head twin on the left is stroking the guys hand.... we all know who the horny sister is now.
- SundayBrunch, on 07/08/2008, -11/+1so? who gives a ***** who gives a *****.
- badjoke, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1I give one *****, and one *****. It was entertaining and interesting.
- hoodmonkey, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1I give a ***** I give a *****.
- Mac454, on 07/08/2008, -0/+2I would of really liked it if the two guys with the red shirts would have made their own shirts with the graphic backwards on one of them. That would have been some nice attention to detail and really aided the whole mirror concept.
- itsripitsrip, on 07/08/2008, -0/+7too bad the climax wasn't as good as the idea :(
- badjoke, on 07/08/2008, -0/+11That's what she said. :-/
- hazard99, on 07/08/2008, -3/+2That music was awful
- i11uminati, on 07/08/2008, -0/+4Where can I download this song?
- rlbond86, on 07/08/2008, -0/+7The best is still "Moebius"
http://improveverywhere.com/2003/03/22/the-moebius ...
They repeated the same 5 minutes inside a Starbucks for an hour!- Origin415, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1Also Slow-Mo Home Depot. They repeated the freeze part on a larger scale in Grand Central, but I think the slow-mo part is far more interesting.
- cydlys, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2Another reason why walking might be a good idea.
- bobangitanov2, on 07/09/2008, -2/+1they all obey their master like robots. what is this for? it's not art. it's a waste of ***** energy.
- kaosethema, on 07/10/2008, -1/+1waste of time but amusing... i'll digg it for its novelty.
