There's a good one on YouTube of people standing still (not sure of title of video) and also a finger-gun match and a pillow fight, basically only the people involved know what's going to happen. Some of them are arranged through the internet and you are sent an email telling you a time and place and what you have to do so you don't even know how many people are going to be there.

"Flashmob" redirects here. For the Vitalic album, see Flashmob (album).

Flash mobs, like this pillow fight flash mob in downtown Toronto, are designed to surprise passers-by.A flash mob (or flashmob)[1] is a group of people who assemble suddenly in a public place, perform an unusual and sometimes seemingly pointless act for a brief time, then disperse, often for the purposes of entertainment and/or satire.[2][3] Flash mobs are organized via telecommunications, social media, or viral emails.[4][5][6][7][8][9] The term, coined in 2003, is generally not applied to events and performances organized for the purposes of politics (such as protests), commercial advertisement, publicity stunts, that involve public relation firms, or paid professionals.
