Just when you thought Internet trends couldn’t get any more bizarre or creative… cue the Mannequin Challenge!
For those of you who haven’t heard about the latest social media craze, it’s when a fairly large group of people (often high school or college students) freezes in one place — posing like, you guessed it, mannequins — while someone films.
Video: Stars Join Rachel Bloom In Telling America ‘Holy Sh*t You’ve Got To Vote‘ Against Trump!
The camera’s slow pan around the tableau means the group has to hold their exact position for several seconds — but the final product is well worth it!
Ch-ch-check out some of the best viral creations (below)!
