Surprise Wedding Reception for Unsuspecting Couple

I am so bored by these losers. Here's how it works: you get a bunch of folks without much going on in their own lives, and they force all that spare time on to other people without their consent. You're not funny, no one likes you, and your mom dresses you funny.

This is actually pretty nice and it seems like a good deed was done - improvised or not. The smiles on the couple's faces were genuine.

I thought it was cute but the toasts melancholy. The speeches were just imitations of typical wedding toasts but with faux-feeling.

Something about the bride and groom makes me think they were just actors anyway.

Will these revelers be around the corner when these two file for divorce in three years?

their sense of smug entitlement irks me. who are they to decide when and where it's appropriate to involve unsuspecting people in their unfunny shenanigans? improv comedy troupes are just attention whores who found each other. or maybe i'm just a misanthrope who lacks joy in his life. i didn’t even watch the video.

Agree, I hoped the couple had placed them all under citizen arrest, and for the NYPD to come at them with batons and pepper sprays ready! Hipsters need to be taught a painful lesson.

I have to say that I enjoyed the stunt. It was not malicious, the duo appeared to be genuinely surprised. I think it's sad enough for a couple to get married in City Hall and not in a place with a lot of friends and family but this surprise party is one they'll remember for a long time. That said, I'm a typical cynical NYer, and maybe the Bride and Groom were part of the gag. In any case I wish them a happy, healthy and prosperous life together. The only problem I found was that the video would freeze every 5 seconds or so. Is it my computer or Improv's fault? However, it was the clearest full screen You Tube type picture I've ever seen on this iMac.

Huh, I think City Hall weddings are pretty awesome (and I'm female). I think the lack of fuss and spontaneity is far more romantic than any average ceremony. The energy in the City Hall chapel is genuine, sans bride-and-groomzilla crap.

Personally I'm all for rewarding practical and considerate (not burdening their friends with obligatory attendance) couples with a free party.

Friends would want to be there, it's not a burden. You think City Hall weddings are awesome. You must think homeless shelters are garden spots.

You're right they shouldn't be let out of the house.

Cute, but it seemed like an awful lot of expense and effort for zero funniness.

who says funniness was the goal?

improv everywhere is an improv troupe that executes pre-planned missions that usually involve socially awkward or unusual situations.

I like my improv to be funny.

That's an oxymoron.

Contradiction in terms.

I'm a softie and think this is cute—the couple seemed really genuinely happy.

I saw the tail end of this, it was raining lightly.

but I thought what a nice looking group of people dancing and having fun. the music was not very loud so it didn't really bother people.

The bridesmaids picked those dresses themselves?

if a bunch of assholes ruined my wedding day for the sake of filming an improv comedy skit i would want to punch them in their stupid unfunny faces.

You think a wedding day at the Clerk's office was ruined by people spontaneously deciding to celebrate their wedding with a reception that they did not even pay for? And that if the same thing had been done to you that you would resort to violence? You really need to deal with your inner demons.

Psst, the Gothamist comments are how they deal with their inner demons. Whatever keeps them off the streets and in their moms' basements, I say.

Oh lighten up chicken butt.
