Why are they all doing the Nazi salute?

i didn't even realize until the clip was finished that I kept saying "high five" out loud every time it happened.

did he shit his pants at 2:25

^ No. That would be called the dreaded "stairs + balls" combination.

Yay for nice!

I'd immediately go wash my hands.

I don't think the video would have been as effective if he hadn't employed the classical music and silent-era title cards. And sadly, I'll bet that's the only way you could actually get a New Yorker to give you a high five. If he had just walked up on the street and did it, 49 times out of 50 he'd been told to go shove it.

New York Five: A high five delivered unsuspectingly to a citizen of New York, upon which they will get all pissed off at you for trying to add a bit of light to their day.

Whoa.

Spreading swing flu, one person at a time.

NY is a blue state. They're all card-carrying socialists.

:-( Awkward cutting of a really beautiful piece of music.

I was just gonna say that

The fact that no one punched him off his bike or flipped him off makes me seriously doubt this is REALLY New York City.

Next: the dreaded Lindy Hoppavirus.
