Actors disguised as waiters whisked a table over to their bench and presented them with a food spread of fruits, cheeses and meats. The couple giggled as new surprises came up, including two tickets \u201Cfor tonight\u2019s show,\u201D which occurred minutes later in front of them.\n\nSEE ALSO: A Day at the Beach Turns Into a Black-Tie Affair [VIDEO]\n\"I figured that in a big city like New York, everyone\u2019s first reaction would be to think the offer of dinner was some type of scam,\" wrote Improv Everywhere's producer Charlie Todd in a blog post. \"To try to put the couple at ease the agents referred to everything as 'complimentary' and 'free.' The couple was definitely confused at first, but by the time they were being served drinks they were all smiles.\"\nA microphone was hidden under the tablecloth.\nWhat's your favorite Improv Everywhere video?

Funny or Die\n\n\nSo many hilarious bits and acts have come out of Funny or Die, such as \"Between Two Ferns,\" \"Billy On The Street\" and \"Drunk History.\" It's hard to pick just one reason why you should follow this channel. \nThe site is founded by comedic geniuses Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, so let's just say if you like Anchorman, you'll find this funny, too. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2. Smosh\n\n\nIf over-the-top, pop culture comedy is your thing, this channel is for you. Internet duo Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox got their start after a video of them lip-syncing to Pok\u00E9mon earned them TIME's \"Person of the Year\" nod in 2006. \nThey've since expanded into several series, and have an upcoming cartoon series in the works.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n3. College Humor\n\nCollege Humor is home to popular series like \"Jake and Amir\" and \"Hardly Working.\" The site also hosts user-submitted viral videos, bizarre sports highlights and sketches. Falling under the umbrella of College Humor is Dorkly, SportsPickle and Jest.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4. ForSkitsAndGiggles\r\n\nYouTuber Ryan Abe takes the Top 40 hits and puts his own spin on them, whether by dressing up as a bumblebee and signing Katy Perry or singing Britney Spears in a Batman costume.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n5. The Second City Network\n\nFamous alumni include John Belushi, Bill Murray, John Candy and Tina Fey. This channel features sketches from current improv groups.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n6. 5 Second Films\n\nFive seconds may not seem like enough time to make you laugh, but you'd be surprised. If you don't have the attention span to sit through an entire three- to five-minute sketch, these little nuggets of hilarity are for you.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7. Barely Political\n\nThe guys from Barely Political are known for their hilarious sketches, from \"The Key of Awesome\" series to Obama Girl. If you like parody songs and spoofs on boy bands, we recommend this channel.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8. Nerdist Channel\n\nThe latest addition to Nerdist Industries is churning out content original to the platform. We're big fans of the \"All Star Celebrity Bowling\" series (especially when Mad Men is involved).\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9. UCB Comedy\n\nWell-known comedians and writers of the Upright Citizens Brigade have gone on to work for Saturday Night Live, The Office and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. This channel's content falls into a similar category of humor.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10. Epic Meal Time\n\n\nIf cooking is your thing, consider this a parody for you. Epic Meal Time takes food challenges to the extreme with unusually high-calorie meals, generally made from meat products. (There's a specific emphasis on bacon and Jack Daniels.) \nThe language is often NSFW, and we don't recommend trying many of these recipes at home. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
