In 2016, a new internet craze swept the nation: the Mannequin Challenge. This challenge involved groups of people freezing in place like mannequins while someone with a camera filmed them. The results were often hilarious, and the challenge soon went viral, with everyone from celebrities to schoolchildren getting in on the fun.
The Mannequin Challenge can trace its origins back to a group of teenagers in Jacksonville, Florida. In October 2016, they posted a video of themselves doing the challenge, which they called "the freeze." The video quickly went viral, and before long, everyone was doing the Mannequin Challenge.
One of the most famous examples of the Mannequin Challenge is the video posted by the NFL's Pittsburgh Steelers. In this video, which was filmed in the team's locker room, players and staff are seen frozen in various positions, including one player catching a football and another player pretending to use a urinal.
The Mannequin Challenge was a viral sensation that took over the internet in 2016. It's since died down, but it's left behind some hilarious videos that will be remembered for years to come.
