It's like commuting, but without the pants. Straphangers throughout New York City nonchalantly stripped to their underwear from the waist down on Jan. 8, 2011 as part of a global practical joke coordinated by prankster outfit Improv Everywhere

Participants wait for a train at the Bleeker Street station

Hundreds participated in the Pants Off Subway ride in New York City and around the globe. Many straphangers were surprised to find people without pants on their train.

To maintain the surreal atmosphere, the pantsless commuters were instructed to chat, read and listen to music like they normally would have if clothed.

Dozens of other cities, including London, Washington and Mexico City, were also slated to strip off their pants on public transit, organizers said.

Improv Everywhere began in 2001 in New York City with the mission of organizing crowds to get laughs by pulling public pranks.

More than 6,300 people had accepted a Facebook invitation to participate in the event by 3 p.m. on Jan. 8, 2011.

Participants are proud ... even without their pants.

This girl reads her book as if nothing is out of the ordinary.
