The No Pants Subway Ride is annual event staged by Improv Everywhere every January in New York City. Nearly 4,000 riders participated in the Pants Off Subway ride in NYC last Sunday by stripped to their underwear as part of a global practical joke in 59 other cities in 27 countries around the world. Many subway raiders were surprised to find pantless riders on their train.

To participate in the 11th annual No Pants Subway Ride, the only requirements were people had to be “willing to take pants off on subway” and “able to keep a straight face about it,” organizers said in a post on their website. Improv Everywhere began in 2001 in New York City with the mission of organizing crowds to get laughs by pulling public pranks.
