That's hilarious. I would have loved to be there and see people's reactions. Though I would have been the one ridiculous person who couldn't maintain the stoic attitude and my echoing laugh would have come busting out, prolly only bringing back the tension. :/ Hahaha.

There is one guy on the non-automated L line trains who freaks everyone out at the 1st Ave stop Brooklyn bound. He theatrically comes on and says "Ladies and Gentleman this will be the LAST STOP on this train..." and everyone gets all exacerbated and starts looking around with bug eyes until he goes on after the pregnant pause "...in the borough of Manhattan. Next stop Brooklyn!" and everyone laughs and smiles. I have witnessed this little act at least 5 times at it never gets old. Word–I love this shit too.

On the yellow line, there is the conductor who raps what transfers are available: "Transfer available to the 2, the 3, the N, the G! Well, not the G, but that's how I do my rhyme." I've also rode the train a couple times with this conductor, also on the yellow line, who talks about all the things one can see/do at a given stop. "This is 8th St., home of the famous Greenwich Village and thousands of NYU Students. Don't get crazy with the tattoos and piercings while you're here, though, folks." It's awesome.
