I must say how impressed I've been seeing all of the organized Flash Mobs from the Penn undergrads through the years.

After the jump, check out the Gangnam Style Flash Mob that hit superblock this past weekend!

Over the years, Penn students have been pulling off some pretty creative flash mobs around campus from giant pillow fight on Locust Walk, to freshmen freezing on Locust walk for 5 minutes to the (original) silent dance party in the library.

Last night, in the middle of finals studying, the flashmobbers struck again with what was supposed to be another silent dance party!

After the jump check out the Rosenparty.

Back in September, I reported that there was a "flash mob" on Locust Walk which took the form of one huge Pillow fight. (check out the videos here)

...Then in November there was another flash mob where Freshmen froze on Locust walk for 5 minutes (check out the videos here)!

Now in the midst of studying for finals, this past week, there was another flash mob this time in the form of a "Silent Dance Party" at Fisher Fine Arts Library.  If you remember ever studying in Fisher Fine Arts, you'll remember that there is no talking allowed.  On that note, watch the video above...and see how the students maintain that rule while flash mobbing! It's very funny!

...On a side note, the interesting part of this video is that this is where I stood back in 1992 when I was busted in front of Tom Hanks when the film Philadelphia came to Penn. Read more about what happened that night here!

So I found out what the deal was with yesterday's random pillow fight on Locust Walk.

This makes me laugh actually.

The pillow fight was apparently a "flash mob", which is a large group of people joining together, doing a random activity for a short amount of time, and then leaving.

Per an anonymous source,

"I'm not sure who organized the pillowfight, and part of the point of flash mobs is that they're usually spread by word of mouth, and the organizers take little to no credit. Also, each flash mob differs, it's not necessarily the same people. The mob is just comprised of whoever heard about the event and was interested.

The idea for flash mobs stems from improv everywhere, an interactive improv group which would do things like send 50 shirtless men to shop at abercrombie. This one's [below] probably the most famous example. Improv everywhere had hundreds of people go to grand central, and at a specific time, everybody froze in place for five minutes [see video below for reference].
