There’s yet another viral video trend sweeping the world, but this time we’re firmly on board.
No, nobody is dumping buckets of iced water on their heads, sculling a beer in a minute or “planking” in difficult places.

Hundreds of videos show people standing in ordinary (and sometimes dramatic) poses as if they were mannequins, while a camera pans around them.
It’s proven popular among sporting teams on Twitter, with cheerleading, football, basketball and soccer teams keen to show off by posing in uncomfortable and awkward positions. Extra points if you don’t blink.
Celebrities like Beyonce, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, and music producer Diplo have also jumped on board.
