Improv Everywhere: A Christmas Story In Real Life
From Charlie Todd of Improv Everywhere:
A Christmas Story – Movies In Real Life (Episode 10)
For our latest mission, we recreated the famous “triple dog dare” scene from A Christmas Story on an NYC subway car. Instead of licking a flagpole, our character licked a subway pole. Using a prosthetic tongue with a magnet inside, we were able to get his tongue to appear stuck to the pole, much to the surprise of New Yorkers on the train.
This project is the last installment in our 10-part fall series, Movies in Real Life. We hope to make more in the future!

Improv Everywhere: Spartacus in Real Life
From Charlie Todd of Improv Everywhere:
Spartacus – Movies In Real Life (Episode 9)
For our latest mission we staged the iconic “I am Spartacus!” scene from Spartacus in a Manhattan Starbucks. I ordered a drink and gave the name “Spartacus.” When the barista called the name, a group of 20 men stood up one-by-one proclaiming to be Spartacus. The real punchline arrived at the end, when a man dressed as a Roman slave arrived to claim the beverage. The scene was produced without the knowledge of the Starbucks.
This project is part of our new series, Movies in Real Life. Every Tuesday, we”re releasing a new video that brings an iconic movie moment to life in the real world.

Harry Potter In Real Life – Movies In Real Life (Episode 8)
For this week’s episode of Movies In Real Life we sent an 11-year-old actor dressed as Harry Potter into New York’s Pennsylvania Station to search for Platform 9 3/4. Harry wandered the station with a caged owl and a luggage cart and asked both strangers and transit employees how to get to the Hogwarts Express.
