Over 3,500 participated in the pants-less commute in New York City, as well as thousands more in 50 cities in 24 countries. CNN reports the event ended with a large underwear party in Union Square where the outside temperature was 29 degrees with wind gusts of up to 47 miles per hour.
According to Time, riders stepped on the subway fully clothed throughout New York City and then took off their pants. The most important part of the prank is for participants to act natural as regular commuters react with surprise.
According to their website, the New York City-based Improv Everywhere "causes scenes of chaos and joy in public places." Their No Pants Subway Ride is an annual event staged every January.
The No Pants Subway Ride, one of over 100 stunts created by Improv Everywhere, started as a small prank with seven guys and has grown into an international celebration of silliness.
