I am so in love with these guys right now. They go around and do "missions," which are kind of just glorified large scale pranks but whatever. They started out as a bunch of improve actors but now they open their pranks, oh excuse me... missions to whoever wants to join in. I am apart of the DC branch and we're going to do a mission at the National Mall on the 29th, I'm excited!

Here are some of my favorites

Food Court Musical: A group breaks out into song in a food court in LA. The people's reactions are hilarious.

Redheads protest Wendy's: 50 redheads protest Wendy's logo for being an unfair representation of redheads. Their chants are hilarious.

Even Better Then The Real Thing: Group of four poses as U2 on a rooftop hours before the real U2 is suppose to play Madison Square Garden.

The Best Gig Ever: This is how I heard about the group. This was featured on an episode of This American Life. The group went on line an found a unknown band and learned their lyrics and what not. They even made their own merch. When the band's tour came to NY, they got 40 "fans" and went to their concert to give them a great gig. Apparently the guitarist went into a slight depression after this incident.

Here's the groups YouTube page with all of their missions:

This one seems kinda mean to me. What the f is up with the girl at the end? "I got laid and I didn't even mean to." Lmao.

The "Frozen in Grand Central Station" video is probably one of the most brilliant things I've ever seen.. It's hilarious!
