Perhaps you’ve seen the latest viral video challenge sweeping social media. In the latest viral video craze known as the mannequin challenge, groups of people are gathering and freezing themselves in place, often in elaborate poses and scenarios, as one camera-toting person walks through the scene to zoom in on the details.

Many of the videos are set to the song “Black Beatles” by Rae Sremmurd, making it the unofficial anthem of the meme. The rap duo even recorded its own version of the challenge at a concert two weeks ago.

It’s goofy, it’s creative, and it’s innocent fun! The mannequin challenge has popped up all over social media including challenges from all over the world!
