No Pants

Improv Everywhere’s 7th annual No-Pants Subway ride. Is it a protest? Is it a performance? Is it a mind-boggling coincidence?!

“I don’t know, I’m not from around here. I guess it’s just a warm day for January. Why do I have these cameras? Well I was just on my way to a shoot when i happened across this, but now I’m late and all my memory cards are full…”

Hundreds of New Yorkers have been riding the city’s subway trains in their underwear.

They stripped down to their undies on Sunday for the ninth annual No Pants Subway Ride.

The idea is to act like nothing unusual is going on.

Participants met up at six locations throughout the city. They formed groups and dispersed to subway stations to catch trains. Once inside the subway cars, they began calmly removing their pants and folding them up.

Most people read magazines or chatted with their companions like any other straphanger.

The event started in 2002 with just seven people. It has spread to other cities.
