The Internet provides a ton of hilarious, and seemingly ridiculous, videos for users to entertain themselves with. The latest video craze to sweep the nation is the Mannequin Challenge. The Mannequin Challenge is a freeze frame, where groups of people stay in a single pose for the duration of a video. Music by Rae Sremmurd’s Black Beatles featuring Gucci Mane is played in the background. Many of these videos have gone viral due to the insane and comical stances of its participants.

NBA and NFL players have gotten involved as well as many college teams. So go ahead, get your #mannequinchallenge on and enjoy it while it lasts!
