Invasion of the Invisible Dogs
Anyone out and about in Downtown Brooklyn (or neighboring areas like Boerum Hill and Cobble Hill) yesterday afternoon would have been forgiven for thinking they were losing their marbles. Legions of mostly young people blanketed the streets walking invisible dogs. They were everyone. So what was up? Turns out it was the work of Improv…
Anyone out and about in Downtown Brooklyn (or neighboring areas like Boerum Hill and Cobble Hill) yesterday afternoon would have been forgiven for thinking they were losing their marbles. Legions of mostly young people blanketed the streets walking invisible dogs. They were everyone. So what was up? Turns out it was the work of Improv Everywhere, a group that “causes scenes of chaos and joy in public places” and is tied to the impending opening of a new gallery installation at 51 Bergen Street. Well done!

lol…I didn’t think folks still had those stupid things.
These “legions of mostly young people” seem to have an awful lot of time on their hands, most of which they apparently spend trying to attract attention to themselves. It’s the invasion of the annoying overindulged children come to flower.
It was stupid. It’s one thing to have people converge somewhere for a single event. But in this case, what happens? You see a couple of them and think “are those lame invisible dog things back?” Then you see a whole bunch more and think, “I guess it’s a lame stunt.” Then curiosity gets the best of you, and you ask one of them “which lame stunt group are you with?” and of course they feel compelled to stay “in character”, at which point you think “what a bunch of dumb douchebags.” At least, that’s what happened to me.
some of the stuff this group does is pretty funny. but these people were being ANNOYING. one woman with the invisible dog was screaming at this poor dude for kicking her dog.
Sounds like everyone has a case of the Mondays.
Grrr look at those young whippersnappers with invisible dogs!!
Yawn.
lighten up people. They had a good time and was probably cute. Smile once in awhile. Just hope they cleaned up after their pets.
