In 2002, an improv group of seven guys called Improv Everywhere pulled a public prank on the New York City subway.
According to their website, "One participant entered the train pantless for 7 consecutive stops. They pretended not to notice each other, and if asked claimed that they “just forgot” their pants. On the 8th stop, someone came through with a duffle bag selling pants for $1."
The next year brought in 30 participants, and years following eventually caused some serious controversy. Eight people were arrested, but ultimately released because in NYC, no pants time ain't a crime!
And with that audience, grew a global community of participants around the world, willing and ready to strut their bare butts on public transit for the heck of it.
According to Improv Everywhere, they had thousands of participants, and even caused crowds in NYC stations.
The event was organized by a Facebook group called The Stiff Upper Lip Society, which describes itself as "A London-based group, where nothing is out of the ordinary."
While no one seemed to show up in tin foil as a 10th anniversary might suggest, there were definitively some wild photos from the day.
In the video, this kid was pretty much in the mindset of everyone not participating in this tomfoolery.
People had very unique ways of sharing their experience with the day. Just guys bein' dudes! Or blokes...
And responsibly minding the gap, as all Londoners should be doing.
Not everyone can pull off a pole move like this on a professional pole. It's even more impressive when you crush it on public transit, on a moving subway! You go girl.
Although it's borderline yucky that there will have been hundreds of bare bums on these absorbent-looking subway seats.
Which is definitely a vibe, but in comparison to that pole dancing queen, isn't that impressive. Reading isn't special, y'all!
It's kind of insane to hold this event during the winter months. Even during a mild winter, them cheeks are gonna HURT!
Fair enough, if you have to shave once in a while, you might was well make your pubic exposure as smooth as possible. Though it might've made more sense to keep the hair — for insulation reasons.
And maybe even a little bit like Jude Law, like the man on the right. That's a double win in my books.
Or maybe he's the town crier that bellows out unsolicited trouser criticism in the middle of London. Who knows?
This lady's face is a damn MOOD — and probably represents the thousands of other people who were NOT participating.
Flex on the normies with a body positive message gracing the upper portion of your lady business! CONFIDENCE QUEEN.
