Get ready for the #MannequinChallenge, Internet

Forget about the plank, TZ anthem dance or piling on 100 layers of anything on your body.

The internet has a new opportunity for you to achieve viral fame with the "mannequin challenge."

Students in high schools across the country started the latest group video challenge and it's gradually picking up steam days later after what seems to be the first #mannequinchallenge video.

Here's the gist: participants freeze mid-action while someone films the group, and if you're feeling up for it, put it all to the tune of Rae Sremmurd "Black Beatles" or another jam. The more people, the merrier.

Right when the drop of a song hits, you'd expect everyone to go crazy a là Harlem Shake. But instead, these teens remain standing as still as statues with hilarious and impressive poses.
