14 DAY TRIAL // Commuters don't really enjoy talking to each other while traveling in the city's subways or trains, but one humorous guy decided to break that habit by coming up with a new way of approaching people while in public transportation vehicles.
Nigel, the ventriloquist, got his puppet, his sense of humor and his chatting skills and started asking girls for their number in the New York subway. Surprisingly, he added a few new contacts in his phone agenda, with a little help from his friend, of course.
A group of pranksters, Model Pranksters TV, recorded the whole episode with Nigel and his puppet friend and then posted the video on YouTube, hitting more than two million views in just a few days.
At the beginning, most commuters give him the skeptical look, but after a few jokes they just gather around him to better see his attempt to charm the girls. Not only did he go home with a few possible dates in mind, but also he managed to make the passengers laugh.
