GL1 actually thinks that a movie is a better work of art than improv acting? Puh-lease! In movies, the actors have a script and can do several takes if they don’t do it right the first time. You guys just have a basic idea, and then the rest of the mission depends on the reactions of people around you and the ability to make up dialogue on the spot, and it all has to be achieved the very first time.

You guys are EXTREMELY talented.

That is just hilarious. Well done!

The guys in the train are definitely speaking Danish, though. Not sure how you could mistake that for German. =P

The expressions on the girl’s face in the video for this struck me as so funny, that by the time the third Agent casually strolled onto the train in his boxers, I laughed so hard that I passed out and fell out of my chair.

Swear to gawd. Just happened. Ugh, bit of a headache from hitting the floor, but *so* worth it. :D You guys crack me up!

I’ll be sure to strap myself in for future viewings. XD

It seems way beyond perfect that the woman was reading a book entitled “RAPE”. And then she hurriedly put away and clutched her bag tightly. Hahaaaaa!

I wish the video had shown her selling the pants. I’m sorry some humorless people had to go and ruin it for you. In my opinion, having a ‘life’ is living in the moment and making it worth while. It would have made quite a few people’s day if it weren’t for G1 and G2. What can you do though, right? That’s the point, seeing people’s reactions. It can’t always work out as planned,I guess.

Polaris,

The girl in the video is not “Beth.” And no, Beth never ended up participating in any missions. The girl in the video is Kate, and after 5 and half years she found it two weeks ago and emailed me (we just put the video online for the first time.) You can see her comment here: http://www.improveverywhere.com/2007/05/22/video-vault-no-pants-2002/

This is by far my favorite “No Pants” mission. I could not stop from laughing through the whole thing. You had me hanging on your every word! I love that you included all that dialogue. I am also very happy that you had video. Even though it was pretty short and only had that one angle, I was nearly jumping from excitement to see actual footage of it. It almost makes me feel like I was there. I was especially excited to see that Beth had written to you guys. By the way, did you ever see her again? Has she taken part in a mission yet? Also, is that her in the video? Based on her account and the woman’s reaction in the video, they kind of match up.
