Flash Mobs

LOVE LOVE LOVE these!!!! I saw the Oprah where they did it to Black eyed peas and then again on Modern Family and now they are popping up everywhere.  SO cool!!!

I heard on the radio there is a group in Portland that did hippity hops in Moonument square and they also did the Trader Joes opening... I want to see one in person!!!

That's all.Stick out tongue

  • Ohhh OK. I saw something on "This American Life" about a group called "Improve Anywhere" and I thought it was a cool idea. Sounds like a Flash Mob is the same type of thing. That's awesome there is something in Portland!
  • My favorite one is the one in the Belgian train station to "Doe a deer" from the Sound of Music.  It was the first one I saw and it was before they were really popular, so people look really surprised.

  • Love them! I saw a video of one in the UMaine Union and would have loved it if something like that happened when I was there. I also LOVED that episode of Modern Family with Cam trying to join in and then being so hurt.

  • OK, so here is my question about these things, and maybe I am just dumb...

    Are they rehearsed?  For the dance ones, it seems like there must have been some kind of rehearsal given that everyone knows the moves.

  • The teachers at the HS I used to teach at did one for spirit week and it was really cute - totally surprised the students!  They rehearsed one day, but also posted a video with instructions on youtube so others could see it and join if they felt comfortable.  They are definitely rehearsed/ planned (as far as I can tell!)

    I can't watch the video here at work, but I'll check it out tonight. From the comments though, it seems like Flash Mobs are more music oriented. I think the Improve Everywhere is more comedy/prank related, but along the same lines as a Flash Mob in that they are a large group of people performing in a random public siutation. Here is there website if anyone is interested. http://improveverywhere.com/ EIther way, both are very cool. I would love to see something like that in real life!

    Yes! 

  • My moms group is doing one soon!  I've already forgotten when it is, crap.  I don't know if I'll take part in starting it, but I definitely want to go see the crowd reaction.
