We only know ourselves through the eyes of others. And this video is proof. In just a few hours they had him questioning who he was. Imagine the influence a lifetime of being viewed by others has on us.
This is probably the funniest prank concept and execution honestly. Creating a fake ex-girlfriend who wants to work things out? I can't handle how funny that is and everyone stayed in character so well. Brilliant work!
It's one thing to play along with the joke -- but can we talk about this man's enormous commitment to Ted doppelganging that he was literally willing to dispute his Tedness over a theoretical real Ted? 4:47 This is too hardcore for my brain to handle, I'm done
Hehe, I wonder what I'd do. I think most people would end up going with it. I'd probably throw in details like why I left her or something (but I suppose he was hoping he could date her in real life).
'Ted' handles this like a champ. My favorite two of his responses: "I've been doing a lot of crazy things lately." and when Lauren asks how it feels to be 28 and he says "Hasn't really sunk in it." LOL! You've got to admit that's a pretty go response. 'Ted' should really do some more stuff with IE... this time as an agent :-D
Seriously... I wonder if that guy was thinking, "Damn, my birthday was last month, and all I did was get drinks here with Jimmy from high school, Dan from Tufts, and Mike from the office... Ted is freaking beloved... and his ex is kinda hot!"
I feel like he actually started to believe he was Ted lmaooo
KTG 666th like :)
Hey I'm a girl and if people threw me a free birthday party I'd be Ted too
@@shawn.spencerhey Lina I’m here to remind you. That you commented this. 4 years is a long time!
@@cutiegirlie LoL 😂
I love how his friend is just dying while he accepts his new life as Ted
+PureValLiam 'ted' took it like a champ!
Right
😂😂😂😂😂😂
lmaoo at the beginning he was like who is ted im not ted wtf and by the end he was like maybe i am ted
lmao
lmao dead
Blarb Erfash alcohol does that to people
Lmao
He really went with it tho lmao I’m dead💀
Lmao at when he tells the girl "ya I just don't wanna rush like we did last time." That's when I lost it.
@DatingMatis156 What if you dropped a diamond in lava because you were trying to rush to get it quickly on Minecraft?
Perfect example of "going with the flow" lol :'D
hahahaha lol
Why? These One Piece profile pictures are haunting me!
"Givin' you a heads up, Lauren IS here." *takes a swig of beer*
"Who's here?"
Me:"Lauren"
Innerme: "I must assume and accept the role of Ted, given to me by the elder ones."
This was my 3rd favorite. To bad Rob wasn't there.
Magic20151 hahahah he got lost
Yes he was! 2:39
Micaiah Scott getting lost at the stadium and ending up at a birthday party... talk about bad sense for directions
FrameRAGE lol
still lookin for his section
The best was Ted's grandpa. That's the moment when you know that there was no way it could be a simple case of mistaken identity.
I love how he started being all like "Hello yes I am Ted."
This would have been perfect if the real Ted came running in afterwards, greeted Chris like an old friend and asked if anyone else had arrived yet.
We only know ourselves through the eyes of others. And this video is proof. In just a few hours they had him questioning who he was. Imagine the influence a lifetime of being viewed by others has on us.
very true observation. we take so many of the little things for granted.
Frank Delgrosso that's deep
The website says he's actually a comedian, so he played along.
Damn thats deep
Deep
they should have had one guy come in like "wait a minute this isn't it Ted" and they all just turn on him
+Tri Force was hoping for that moment to see what kind of excuses he would come up with
That would go against the spirit of the prank. The thing I love about these pranks are that they are so cheerful and happy.
This man had the time of his life XD
Crow His other life...
@@user-lr7jr7kp5l LMAOOO
... he continues to wear the hat, which goes perfectly with his outfit.
"I kinda broke my own heart."
Nice one, Ted/Chris!
THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN AGAIN!! I've watched ALL the videos on the channel and THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE!
I agree with Ted on this.
+ted Hey ted I heard about the car crash.... hope your ok...
+Ugo Strange I totally agree!
a bucket full of win!! the acting by the improv crew makes it seem more real than the hills
"Every 25 minutes I had to remember I wasn't a schizophrenic" lmfao
He just plays along... He probably thinks they mistakened him for some else. And he like isso happy XD lol
I think the baby was crying because he knew that he wasn't Ted.
Exactly! IKR
This one and the 1860's bar were the best, please make more of these!
Yes indeed these 2 are the best one
The fight club reference alongside the best prank of all time...I think i just died a little
Havvvvvvvvee you met Ted?
John Smith I love you sooo much 😂😂👍
It must've brightened his day to get so much love from people, even if they were strangers :)
Oh wow. That was incredible.
tmk0
Have you met Ted?
He totally went along with the whole thing! Surprise ppl like THIS
This is probably the funniest prank concept and execution honestly. Creating a fake ex-girlfriend who wants to work things out? I can't handle how funny that is and everyone stayed in character so well. Brilliant work!
This is my favorite of the more concentrated pranks, for sure XD
His friend is dieing over there!
*am i ted*
So...did Lauren and Ted get back together?!?
Yeah, they live in an nice house in Montana, and they have a sweet little girl named Riley.
maninthebox0 Riley Reid II
Asking real question here
The best one! We need more like these! The guy with the hat looks a lot like Fraser from Video Games Awesome.
Dude! Frash Frash is my favorite person in the world! I love it when I find a VGA fan in the wild.
next episode: Ted marries Lauren
It's one thing to play along with the joke -- but can we talk about this man's enormous commitment to Ted doppelganging that he was literally willing to dispute his Tedness over a theoretical real Ted?
4:47 This is too hardcore for my brain to handle, I'm done
I love the friend. He was just absolutely dying throughout the whole thing. Ted was such a boss.
Would of been so good if they had the 'real' ted walk in like sorry I'm late guys near the end hahah
That would destroy the entire idea of what they were trying to accomplish.
would have been awesome if "ted" was with his wife at the bar
I'm glad improv everywhere is coming back again
"You know my size" ........ Lmao
Holy shit, the thing he said about Fight Club in the end was so awesome.
His friend was loving it!
i loved chris/ted's friends's laugh hes cracking up the whole time it's CATCHY lol
Hehe, I wonder what I'd do. I think most people would end up going with it. I'd probably throw in details like why I left her or something (but I suppose he was hoping he could date her in real life).
I love how he just plays along 😂
I love this kind of prank :) He actually started believing that he was Ted.
Bloody genius.
I love how he went along with everything.
This was an awesome one.
This is I loved watching Improv Everywhere. Genius creators.
This is one of favorite!!! Please do more of this kind!!
Can you imagine if the random person in the bar was actually named Ted and it was his birthday
I love that 'Ted' and his friend just go along with the entire thing
definately just became #1 favorite improveverywhere video!
This has to be one of the coolest and funniest videos @ImprovEverywhere has done. I hope to see another one like it. Please do another one.
'Ted' handles this like a champ. My favorite two of his responses: "I've been doing a lot of crazy things lately." and when Lauren asks how it feels to be 28 and he says "Hasn't really sunk in it." LOL! You've got to admit that's a pretty go response. 'Ted' should really do some more stuff with IE... this time as an agent :-D
I tend to come back to this video every so few years, this is fucking classic!
I wish daily drop out would do this prank.
You guys are amazing, ImprovEverywhere!
the people with imrpoveverywhere are great people. The smiles they put on peoples faces by doing such simple things is amazing.
i wanna be ted.
"wow Ted you have a way with children!"
Love that part!
This has been my favourite improv so far! Just pure genius!
Give a medal to this guy and to ImprovEverywhere as well! Great!
this is hilarious!! I wish they did this to me haha
Seriously... I wonder if that guy was thinking, "Damn, my birthday was last month, and all I did was get drinks here with Jimmy from high school, Dan from Tufts, and Mike from the office... Ted is freaking beloved... and his ex is kinda hot!"
Ted and I have the same birthday! lol
This guy was awesome! I love how he just went with it.
Ted's just so smooth about this, either he's totally lit or he's just that cool.
Omg, it's even called the gaslight bar 😂
Well being schizophrenic that would really freak me out
yes, whenever they do these things they really do give them as gifts, it is truly an act of kindness.
This is absolute FAVORITE ImprovAnywhere episode. I love how "Ted" went along with it. The friend is priceless! LOL
Lol he didn't mind being Ted when the pretty lady wanted him back :)
The person that the prank is being played on looks a lot like Fraser from Video Games Awesome.
You guys are incredible !!
I like how his mate basically gives up by the end xD
a baby in a bar?
Does anyone know of any other pranks on youtube like this one?
Check out the rest of the channel man
gwen chua I already have. There's nothing else like Ted's Birthday.
LMAO... THAT was great!!! You guys should do more of this!!!

Is it just me or does it look like this vid was recorded in the 80s...
