What in the World is the #MannequinChallenge?

We have seen a lot of ‘challenges’ and Internet crazes go viral over the last few years.

Remember ‘Planking’ from several years ago?

Two years ago, we had the Ice Bucket Challenge to support ALS research.

Late in 2016, we have been blessed with the #MannequinChallenge.

The videos feature people imitating mannequins (like the kinds you would see in a department store) while music is playing in the background and a camera person surveys the room; most of the clips have Rae Sremmurd & Gucci Mane’s song, ‘Black Beatles’ playing in the background.

Below, check out some of the incredible viral #MannequinChallenge videos from high school students, to Destiny’s Child to Paul McCartney!

The videos have also taken a series tone with Vine star Simone Shepard using the #MannequinChallenge to highlight some of the recent police shootings and racism in the United States.
