Yesterday the Improv Everywhere gang took 2,000 dogs for a walk in the Cobble Hill area of Brooklyn. Invisible dogs, that is. You remember those old invisible dog toys, right? Turns out the circa-1970s toy was manufactured in a Brooklyn factory, which now contains the Invisible Dog art space! The space loaned the pranksters the vintage dog leashes for their afternoon of good clean fun; and if you want one yourself they still seem to be for sale online. More photos from Katie Sokoler, here.

"I'm in with the in-crowd, I go where the in-crowd goooes!!!!"
So it'd seem. The Gothamist commenter in-crowd. "Whah! Hipsters! People doing things that don't interest me!"
Normally, the Improv Everywhere stuff makes me wince, but this actually cracked me up.
I am pretty sure the guy in the first pic is Rob Lathan. I have always liked him... this video in particular

Funny, I had the opposite reaction - this stunt really annoyed me more than their typical antics for some reason.
The more I hear about improv everywhere the more i dislike them.
I'm certain the feeling is mutual.
How many were arrested for unlawful assembly? Did they have a permit for 2,000 invisible dogs?
hey everyone, let's all stand on our heads! all at once! hahah!!
Stupid.

To be a stickler all these photos seem to be on Smith Street, which is considered part of Boerum Hill and not Cobble Hill. But whatevs invisible dogs walk on invisible neighborhood boundaries.
they were all over court st too. and some say that smith -- at least the west side of smith -- belongs to cobble hill (though i agree it technically ends at court).
Invisible humor.
hahaha! +100
The only way this would be funny is if they were all invisible seeing-eye dogs.
That would actually be funny. And it would be funnier if all of them said to strangers "have you seen my dog? no, neither have i!" rofl!
It sure is hard making sarcastic comments on the internet. What funny peice of perfomance art did you think up this weekend? Or were you watching football on tv?
I was watching football on TV
Anything good happen? I missed it, I was walking invisible dogs around Brooklyn.
Really? You weren't watching the barcodes steamroll Ipswitch?
I hadn't seen a free kick like R. Taylor's since Robert was on the teamsheet about 6 years ago.
I saw these idiots on 5th Ave in Park Slope too.
hipsters
They lost me when the staged a fake funeral and crashed it. Utterly insipid and totally inappropriate.
I do hope you know that the whole Funeral gag was an APRIL FOOLS joke right?
This was funny. Funny like a fake moustache. I saw a couple of guys on Atlantic Avenue in what I would call Boerum Hill. The miming is the best part.
A very different sort of funny than the fake funeral.
OK, this one is fail for IE.
these things were stupid back then and they're stupid now.
they were sold by a vendor at the San genaro feast the first time I've seen them. sounds like a staple item at street fairs and flea markets.
I saw them everywhere yesterday and, I must say, it made an otherwise dreary Sunday more cheerful. Seriously, you people need to lighten up.
The little tow-headed kids were cute, but that dog was freaking out...lahk he wuz FREEEAAKIN' OUT MAAAAAAAN!
My friend kicked 3 of the puppies and I made yelping noises. People across the street laughed and the dog walkers were very upset. HA!
Did anyone take photographs of the dogs? :-)
Like most things Improv Anywhere this isn't that interesting. All of their stuff is very... Leno-ish (i.e. my mom would think it's funny, and so would her friends, but I'm not gonna get serious yuks out of it...)
My favorite thing about NYC is that it will always have plenty of people doing things that will annoy all you whiners.
