I'm pretty sure people didn't actually think this was real, but were amused enough to go along with it. I would've gotten an autograph because why not? It was hilarious, and that guy looked incredibly like the painting. While I do think they should've gotten authorization in the first place just to be safe, I don't see anything wrong with what they did here :)
I'm sure if they tried to get "authorization"from the museum, they wouldn't have been allowed to do it at all.You know, "liability" for some imagined risk.
Oy! What's all that commotion over there? WHAT?!?!? Someone is promoting additional attention for our museum? Hmmm, it seems I must take a course of action for this beneficial act. *HEY YOU! GET OUT OF MY MUSEUM!*
It is important to stop them for the security of the items in the museum...he may have increased few visitors who had paid 5 dollars but 5 million dollar items are at risk. What if someone taking the advantage of the crowd steals anything or harm scratch the painting
@@ElementofKindness museums aren't that crowded usually...plus people are dispersed in different corner. This right there he was collecting crowd in one area Think!
@@rivahana I don’t think it’s that deep, they’re just causing a commotion and they didn’t asked for permission first so they were ask to leave Side note: for a 5 million dollar painting, there’s absolutely nothing stopping anyone from just punching a hole into it which I find kinda hilarious
I like it. Small missed opportunity, though: when Charlie told the first museum manager the King was excited because his portrait had just been restored, there was a story about it in the NYTimes, etc, he assured him "He's 400 years old." The manager said "He doesn't look 400 years old," setting him up perfectly for "Exactly, because he's just been restored."
Angreh Kittunz omgsh I just imagined someone dressed as Martin Luther nailing the 95 theses (or whatever it's called) to the door of a church lol....actually, that wouldn't go over so well. Nevermind.
Aw, I wish that man hadn't done that. I understand why, but I liked their reason for doing it. Yeah, the King just wanted to come in and see his painting now that's it's been restored. Cute.
The thing that makes this extra hilarious to me is, the last time I was at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, there was a man staring at a painting, and the painting and the man could have been twins. This is fantastic, I love it.
That was great and he even seemed to make the art more interesting and fun for the people of the museum. The museum should pay this guy for his service.
I'd love for one of these people to bring their autograph to pawn stars and tell them it's his signature. Then the guys will get all excited and find out its fake and the person who brought it would be pissed!
I... think most people probably thought it was a museum event, not the actual king. The man asking questions was probably just a bit perplexed to what was going on, but when the man said "he's 400" he laughed and moved on. And I don't mean to be rude about accented people, but his accent wasn't "American", so can we stop with this "Americans are stupid" please? Anyway, I went to a museum in my city and they did something similar with Queen Charlotte. I knew it wasn't REALLY her, but it was cool.
seriously, the +The Met needs to do something like this, it's adorable, and really gets peole to view museums as a preservation of a real breathing history to share with the world! I'm just sorry that I wasn't there to meet a real Hapsburg king! 😂
Today was King Phillip IV of Spain's birthday (April 8, 1605). He would have been 412 years old and from viewing this video, he looks very good for his age.
For the record, the individuals involved in this prank were not booted. The security officer simply was trying to make sure that they had authorization to do this. The security officer was only doing the job he was hired to do. It is a World Class facility after all.
This would actually be such a good idea for the museum, because the guy does look insanely like the painting, it is too bad he had to leave. They should have called him back, way more publicity.
this would be cool to have in a museum: people who look like people of the past taking autographs and maybe telling history in 1st person. That would make the museum interesting
And the man had no reason to stop them in the vid, they were just two people in the museum and they were giving free autographs. It was the people's choice to get the autographs, improv everywhere was practically just standing there :)
No one ever said it was illegal. There are scheduled daily events. If your going to do something out of the ordinary in the MET galleries you have to have the cooperation of the staff. Meaning it's been authorized.
I think it's pretty neat not only that they not only thought of this in the first place, but found someone who looks exactly like the King. They security guy should have left them alone.
The funniest part is that some people believed it really was King Phillip IV, yet right next to the painting there is a sign that says he died in 1665!
What a great opportunity to introduce people to fine art! The museum should have learned from this and staged other similar events. I think children especially would have fun and who knows, it may spark a lifetime interest in art. Boo, museum! You blew a great promo opportunity.

Security these days.... :T
Avira Rosalita yes it's truth..maybe he should get the permission from the mezeum administration first!!
something in the water in Spain
Private property
Echoesoftimelover is that why many people are there
lapissed Smartass, you’re invited in but have to follow their rules. Not a hard concept to understand
The guy that organizes all these scenes must have so much explaining to do.
I think that's the guy that was introducing the king. But yeah, I agree. He must spend half his time explaining during these
"He doesn't look like he's 400" lmao
He must be a vampire
It would explain the pallor.
I guess the Spanish did find the Fountain of Youth.
UnknownNinja264 This joke should have more attention. Seriously...
UnknownNinja264 how did you know?? We didn't tell anyone... Spaniards!!! We've got a spy selling information!!!

It's not people. Just management.
Too many people are enjoying the museum! We need to stop this immediately!
I love how well they reacted to being kicked out.
they are pretty professionals, getting kicked out is alot better than police coming to arrest them :p
Ik it's just nicer than a lot of other 'professionals'.

I think they're giving an own attraction and it was introduce the museum arts ! But the security ruin it
I thought Mark Zuckerberg was King Philip...
Fawk Yu I thought he was a lizard...
I thought your pfp was mark zuckerberg
Fawk Yu ... you know too much.
who fell for this?!
What a sad world we live in when everyone there, including the museum tour guide, has no idea who the hell King Louis the XIV is.
King Philip the IV you dumbass.
It is an spansih king not a frensh king
Why did the guard ask you to leave, anyway? You were drawing quite a crowd, shouldn't that be a good thing?

That was really funny. I enjoyed that.
"He's the real king?" Haaaahahah
I can't believe anyone would fall for that. That is incredible
Dang I love your ability to stay calm and charming when questioned.
OH :O, I wish I lived in USA
That time when the King of Spain was a ginger.
TetrisClock you do realize the painting is authentic, right? That really is a portrait of a Spanish King.
@Geiska im mean phillip iv is also very inbred

Why is red hair so commonly found in European royalty
in breeding
Lol
Since royalty were passed down in family instead of outside party being elected like now it's not all that strange really
FIGHTFANNERD9 Inbreeding and many European bloodlines (royals) were Germanic. So they didn't usually look like the common folk.
0:38 THAT'S WAISIST!!!!
hahaha then the jester came and destroys everything
You gotta love the people who fell or it or were so serious
I love how he said he’s 400 years old
This just shows that no one knows basic history.
Lol people are so gullible!
trololol
This would actually be such a good idea for the museum, because the guy does look insanely like the painting, it is too bad he had to leave. They should have called him back, way more publicity.
its so awesome how they get yelled at and sometimes arrested for the stuff they do...
I would dress as Osama and go in the 9/11 memorial to sign autographs. They can't arrest me if I didn't do anything wrong.
That's not very nice though Their humor doesn't hurt anyone.
Thisnameisrediculous It's fun
majorevangelism Or I have a dark sense of humor.
Skizzor They'd get arrested for assault.
***** Oh trust me, the Court would be on their side.
YES! finally another video! ive been waiting patiently for you to make another one!
I wish this happened at more museums. I'd love to get an autograph
amazing how this guy looks so much like that one in the painting.
These two: **attracts customers**
Museum: "ok yep, that's enough, fuck off"
I guess the museum could not handle that level of an uncanny resemblance.
This should happen everywhere. So perfect.
"ask him what does he eat." love it
this would be cool to have in a museum: people who look like people of the past taking autographs and maybe telling history in 1st person. That would make the museum interesting

"The King is very excited..."
*cuts to a shot of him staring blankly with a Russian-like poker-face*
So excited!
I like how he was signing it with a pencil instead of like a Sharpie. Or a quill pen.
“HOW DARE YOU GIVE ORDERS TO THE KING”
how could you possibly fall for this?
"He doesn't look 400 (years old)"
Am I to believe this man has seen a 400 year old before?
how come u only have 700,000+ subs? you need way over 1,000,000. your videos are so creative! LOVE IT :) im ur biggest fan
Hell, even if people didn't buy it this would be a great promotional campaign for the museum itself. The "king" totally looked like the painting!
He is REALLY well casted
He looks great for someone that is over 400 years old !
was there one person in that crowd that doubted this for a second...
I went to el Museo del Prado last week, and the first painting I saw was a Velazquez portrait of King Philip IV. I had to come back and watch this. :)
10 years ago today!
Who needs meds for depression when you've got these guys.
"Do you have any permission to do this stuff?"
Permission is relative to how well you're dressed.
I didn't know there were many ginger people in Spain 400 years ago. You learn something new every day
And congratulations for 100 episodes!
It's cool how they look alike.
And the man had no reason to stop them in the vid, they were just two people in the museum and they were giving free autographs. It was the people's choice to get the autographs, improv everywhere was practically just standing there :)

idk why, but this is my favorite improv video.

wow the king is gorgeous
Wow, that guy looks exactly like the portrait!!!
This is the best thing I've ever seen.
This is straight out of the playbook
"thank you!" - king phillip

"They see me trolling, they hating."
