!["No Pants" Subway Flash Mob Rides Again [VIDEO]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/06NDFnaFlu3WgBbVH6Eifij/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647019476.jpg)
In excess of 5,000 New Yorkers took to the underground sans pants in 2011's No Pants Subway Ride, the latest event in a 10-year tradition that never fails to leave us bemused and slightly grateful we weren't on the subway that day.
The annual No Pants Subway Ride is a production of Improv Everywhere, the pranksters behind such events as the guerilla handbell strikeforce, spontaneous musicals and the surprise wedding reception.
Footage of the pants-free sojourn tends to leak online and go viral well in advance of any official video release; this year, however, we've got the official No Pants Subway Ride video first.
