Why there were 20 women having fake orgasms at Katz's



For comedy, of course ... via Improv Everywhere:

For our latest mission we recreated the famous fake orgasm scene from When Harry Met Sally with 20 women in Katz’s Deli. This was staged without the knowledge of the restaurant, though thankfully they all seemed to love it.

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.

As you may recall, the so-called "prank collective" had some 100 people camp out in front of the 99-cent store on First Avenue next to the Rite Aid last Black Friday. Hijinks ensued, sort of.

  4. The thing that bugs me the most about improv anywhere, is it has nothing todo with improv. It's totally staged, scripted, planned and by defintion not improv... Plus do any New Yorkers actually participate in it?

  8. 6:36 PM nailed it. But, as long as they're at Katz's, they're not where I hang out...which is a very good thing.

  11. Some of the Improv Everywhere stunts are clever, but this is just annoying. Rude and it goes on too long.
