This is really awesome but the fact that NO ONE but the manager speaks English is pathetic. Something should be done with the country.

You guys are a riot. Very funny, ingenious and clever, but the choice of Times Square seemed to diminish the contrast you needed between the type of establishment and the type of bathroom service. The outside of that McDonald’s looks fancier and bigger than most McDonald’s on the planet. I think many people might expect that in Times Square New York you might have an attendant in the bathroom ad Micky D’s. I think the Vince Lombardi rest stop on the NJ Turnpike might have been a better venue to bring out the contrast you needed. Just me being picky, but envious of your brilliance.

This is very insightful, and I think it’s spot on, and why so much of IE’s work leaves a smile on people’s faces.

At the same time, I think this is also why I had such a terribly uncomfortable feeling even just reading this one.

Don’t get me wrong–the idea of an out-of-place bathroom attendant is amusing and heart-warming, and I think that part is great. What bothers me is the in-bathroom filming; it eliminates the ‘opt-out’ option that Milla highlights above as being so key to the success of these pranks. Nobody had the option of avoiding this covert recording–every guy who walked into this bathroom was recorded as he did his business, whether he wanted to be or not. And that invasion of privacy leaves a sour taste in my mouth–I would be terribly upset and angry if someone did this to me. It becomes victimization without quotes, as opposed to the “victims” of other IE pranks.

In short, I think the IE agents took a good idea, one that is both feel-good and amusing, but made a terrible lapse in judgment in choosing to secretly film this particular mission.

These are fantastic!
Have they ever gone to other states or areas?
As a native New Yorker, seeing strange behavior is not strange, it’s normal. I’ve seen people stripping naked in the subway, talking to themselves(who hasn’t), women walking topless down wall street, etc….
It is fascinating to see New Yorkers ‘reacting’ to anything.

Aww, the reactions of those British school children… Man, I can only imagine what it must be like to be one of them walking into that restroom.
