Why everyone is doing the ‘mannequin challenge’

And the best ones we could find

Remember the Ice Bucket Challenge? Or the Cinnamon Challenge? Or the Harlem Shake?

Another challenge has hit the charts and has been trending all over social media to distract us from the stress of the world.

Groups of people worldwide are gathering and freezing themselves in place, mostly in interesting poses and scenarios, as one person walks through the scene to record the mannequin poses. It all started thanks to some high schools kids and the Rae Sremmurd song, Black Beatles.

While it’s still funny and interesting, there are loads videos to watch if you search for #MannequinChallenge on Twitter or Facebook. Football teams, cheerleaders, dancers, swimmers, and people around the world are doing it.

We collected the best Mannequin challenge videos that are funny, interesting and just creative.

Poor Michelle got stuck holding the ball.
