Haggahaha why are people taking photos what's that going to prove hahaha

[@user-le5uc3hw2d]

Who says it’s going to prove anything lmaooo if you saw this you’d want to take a video aswell bc it’s not normal? Lmao you’re not special.

[@markvincentordiz]

Improv everywhere also

[@saundrajohnson1571]

@Reg. Pson One of you is talking photos, the other is talking video. Okay, now that we've cleared that up... 😉

[@daf222001]

Love the guy on the sccoter!!!!!!!!!! and I liked the kid hugging his mum too!

[@babypink024]

This is epic! Loved the guy on the scooter, it's amazing how he stayed like that for so long. I wish I was apart of this.

[@clayofthegame4293]

You'd have to be careful how you froze. Imagine all that ice cream being wasted :(

[@marko8342]

Pretty sure I saw a guy frozen while on his scooter at the beginning. Mid way through the video he's on the ground lol

[@clayofthegame4293]

XD He couldn't hold it long enough and though "Fuck this, lying on the floor was easier"

[@saundrajohnson1571]

@@marko8342 But he was on the ground with his head up. Anyone else feel that neck strain?

[@mil3636]

It looks like a where is waldo in real life

[@bmxfreak1991]

Woops lol How the hell do you organize something like this?? Fucking awesome!! :D

[@kenndaljustfreaking]

1:49 how the crap is that kid in mid scoot?

[@ccho907]

It's all fun and games until u actually get stuck frozen

[@azmlgaming4295]

Hi, are you still alive?

[@RubyColoredDiamond]

@@azmlgaming4295 Hi, are you still alive too?

[@s0fak1ngkool]

Really love the video.. it's super uncool of me, but these freezes and flash mobs always make me tear up. I just would love life so much if i witness something like that first hand (without knowing it was going to happen) , when I see peoples faces trying to figure out what's going on, i just know how happy they are that this just happened to them. I love it.

[@poes3000]

Even in this vid , while it was not made for that purpose, you can see the beauty of the city. I was there several times and i enjoyed the open spaces, nice parks and architectue. I love Paris.

[@rusasrai433]

i wana be in one

[@relaxationTherapy001]

4:13 she moved her thumb.. he he :P

[@syedmusthakim6830]

Ii

[@B5sbaby4lyfe]

thats crazy to stand there for that long with out moving,,,,,wow takes a skill. Very well done Paris.

[@musicman195959]

Totally fantastic!!! The police were so confused. So funny. That is amazing. Thank you CharlesNouyrit. You rock!!!

[@23Ci4]

Is the Guy at1:46 standing/balancing on his city scooter?

[@mbymariahjenae]

Flash Mobs srsly stun me

[@thejokester503]

A simple and different kind of flash mob, but very stunning and effective

[@MusicalJuly]

Fascinating... just if people don´t behave as they "should" they become art. How cool is live! Thatnks for that inspiring idea!

[@d_pikachu9388]

that's the event where i started my pickpocket career, aah good old times :)

[@KCLERIGO]

Great job! Good stiffness! lol

[@bmragna]

Brilliant idea! An Attitude can mean more than a thousand words!

[@icafed]

we're doing this this Sunday in Rome, can't wait!!!

[@haushiotaku1284]

What's the point of doing that?

[@Cp-yn1di]

Its funny as heck

[@REALITEITxxBITCH]

Scottie Washam its to get people out of their "tunnel vision". its an expression, a show of power and a enjoyable sight

[@Rahulbajaj561]

Haushi Otaku JEEEZ ...YOUR LIFE MUST BE BORING AF.

[@filthyduck5152]

i would have kicked a guy in the balls and be like " U STILL FROZEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HA" hmmmmmmm.

[@Heavylight17]

How the heck was THIS organized? The greatest amount of people I've seen do this stuf is about 150 people, but ... THIS IS EVERYWHERE IN THE CITY OF PARIS!!! THAT MAKES IT THE GREATET ORGANIZED THING IN THE HISTORY OF ORGANIZED THINGS EVER!!!!!! And it makes me happy. :)

[@prozerpe]

Génial et impressionnant ! Surtout quand on regarde le détail de chaque personne, certaines ont de bonnes idées... On se croirait dans un film de science fiction des années 70 où certaines personnes se transforment en mannequins. J'ai mis 2 ans pour découvrir le "freeze flash mob" mais c'est trop bon.

[@mikey6538]

if I was there.. I will rummage the ladies bags or take the men's wallet.. see whether they will still be frozen... lolz

[@TheKobeyaoming01]

wow...this is art...Beautiful....

[@yusriamilkassim4795]

To think it back... Its 2008... When smartphone not something everybody have... No mask, no texting, just pure enjoyment of social life

[@caligirl9988]

My family just sort of happened to be right there during this and played it cool and just joined it... Everyone was so confused because there was no way for me to know about it so awesome!

[@maythild]

The guy in red with the scooter. Is. AMAZING.

[@Mungle84884]

That frozen guy on the scooter is purely awesome.

[@HappyApple330]

THIS IS ART! ENJOY IT!

[@maggytou]

I LOVE flashmobs!

[@NikeshSolanki1411]

Hats off to those kids who participated in it.

[@NikeshSolanki1411]

Just amazing flashmob. Most challenging one.

[@EnglandMUCH]

"let's take a picture of these amazing people standing still!" .... Ironic ....

[@theOGjayzee715]

This is the best comment 😀😃😄😁😆😅🤣😭

[@SinfulJon]

It would have been kinda funny if someone walked up to one of the statues, looked at it for a while, then yelled out, it's not moving! :) Anyway, some of those poses look pretty tough to hold. Excellent job on their part!

[@hate4love1]

those people who are frozen while kissing is just sweet

[@spawnergr]

Its sad that ppl unite under a flash mob, but can't unite to solve problems. here is so much power we have, but no one sadly understands it.

[@NUrena25]

This is insane! This Sunday In Denver at 3:00 can't wait!

[@sandy10842]

totally love it!!!

[@Cpt_nice]

This has something poetic to it

[@Motorsheep]

Great music, too.

[@dragonking1011]

It's so cool but scaring if one day people become like this ;)

[@TheBunnyFix]

I love all the characters here

[@UFOwenn]

sick. the guy on the ground with the scooter was cool

[@youngrock2917]

After years those people are good actors

[@thenewspecies94]

Thats friggin INSANE.

[@crazydragun1]

They need a streaking mob go through there.That would have made this video even more amazing.

[@tobireal]

That`s GREAT! I feel like the World is stand still for a some Minutes!

[@LuluTourism]

Beautiful !

[@starchiao]

this is rally cool, it's an art.

[@SD171]

LOL!!!! my computer froze and I sat here for about a minut thinking how brilliant it was :P

[@utubeDaveutube]

Very, very, very, cool and original

[@thatgirlbrandi]

Freaking awesome! The people that aren't "frozen" are looking around like "What the hell just happened?"

[@RainbowSkinner94]

That was pretty amazing. Some people has some crazy possess but that was awesome. Keep it up. Great job.

[@rcoiteux]

Two words. 1. HOW? 2. WOW.

[@SirezX]

This really is something...i've watches a few of these videos now and I am still impressed with the thought behind this...one suggestion though...next time call it a FLASH FREEZE MOB xD

[@bellayep]

I love how little kids got to do it ;)

[@theGunningGooner]

1:47 Person balancing on the scooter is a boss!

[@VoiceInVoid]

The day Paris stood still!

[@ghost7k]

thats the best ive seen good job all those ppl

[@pwrblnc]

Loved it!!! How fun.

[@marama158]

Super ! Une idée nouvelle du flashmob...

[@jellybellyoneofakind]

The guy on the scooter killed it lmao

[@cristypreciado]

wow... there all so professional.

[@najdorf]

its is super-funny how people take photos at a "freeze" scene. hehe. Tres bien!

[@chandandu]

LMAO at the ppl taking pictures... LIKE THATS GOING TO PROVE THEY WERE FROZEN!!! hahaha

[@JaanaJ1]

Yeaaa, and in that moment say "Boo!" to those people who where not frozen

[@SoftButLoud]

Taking pictures of frozen people. Genius.

[@raje22]

I think if the people who weren't partipating stayed out of it, it wouldn't be nearly as interesting. They provide a contrast, and their reactions are interesting. They become part of the work.

[@zd209]

I MUST DO THIS SOMEHOW

[@banoffiepiee]

i love how the people are in totally random positions, its interesting

[@JoanaSmitaLee]

I'm amazed the guy on the scooter kept his balance.

[@sherriffnoldie]

Perfect. I would have had to be sitting down with my eyes closed to hold it long. I wish there hadn't been people making still photographs. It made it look staged, and what's the point in taking stills of still people. But really, really good. Would there have been so many people there naturally on any other day?

[@dvafosho]

should do this on the "Mayan end of the world" date, I would freak out for sure!

[@melgoazul7969]

Es increíble. No solamente ocuparon muchas personas y algunas en posiciones difíciles sino también durante mucho tiempo No me canso de verlo.

[@AmenoKoe]

Guy on the scooter = awesomeness

[@awexomeatik]

Today in my school we did this. It was awesome. We pissed off the teachers but no one cared we just stood there. It was EPIC!

[@phoenixflame122]

Dude! they're like professionals!! XD lol i could never stay that still for like 5 minutes

[@pixielove1992]

I saw people blinking and breathing but that's not really something that you can stop. This was totally wicked. :)

[@spartan1173456]

1:50 "Their causing public disturbance." "What are we going to do? Tell 'em to freeze and put they're hands up?"

[@BallroomDavid]

Fantastic!

[@SKJ9Nrox]

damn 2:49 I spit on my screen burst of laughter style... DAMN U HAHAHAHAHA

[@PaulsIslandlife]

genius what mans mind can muster up!

[@05alexandrou]

This is so like FLASH FORWARD!

[@Asmodeus66]

That's so cool. How do they know when to freeze or unfreeze, it's not like they're all staring at a clock

[@srinaina999]

i thought every body was gonna move at once...that would have been awesome! :)

[@D3ATHG0D1987]

they're awesome

[@TaekkyonTKD]

Ah, ben le v'là le bug de l'an 2000 -_- Bravo à tous les participants!

[@woahmannn11]

looked this up because im going to a huge flash freeze mob here in Arizona tonight :D

[@weaboo5513]

Who's watchin this 2020. Missin the crowd?

[@ProfessorChomsky]

Magic man.

[@littlered201]

wow thats awsome I WANT to be apart of something like that one day!!!!

[@CheezMonsterCrazy]

I would organize a flash mob flash mob. Infiltrating a freeze a mob with a dance mob. It would be legendary.

[@poltallach]

Fabulous!
