The newly called "mannequin challenge" first emerged back in the early 70's in a New York beach club. Back then it was just called "mannequin". You called out the word Mannequin, directed the word at a specific person who would have to stand in place and could not speak, until another player shouted out "un-mannequin". Lots of fun in a crowded beach club bar on Labor Day when you stuck your friend with the check and they couldn't answer anyone who attempted to talk to them. Barb

It is believed the phenomenon of remaining motionless like mannequins was started by students from Edward H White High School in Jacksonville, Florida on October 26, 2016 [1][3][4] Please change the above line in the introduction to this: While it is believed the phenomenon of remaining motionless like mannequins was started by students from Edward H White high School in Jacksonville, Florida, it was actually started from a group of five friends that call themselves Friendswhofreeze on Instagram. [#] The students of Jacksonville first posted their video on October 26, 2016, but the Friendswhofreeze group has been posting such videos with a different hashtag of #friendswhofreeze since July.

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (season 7) episode 17 which aired on February 22, 2007 -yeah, almost 10 years ago- has an example of it. Around minute 2, everyone stops but camera. I don't have anything to cite but I've watched it.

At its heart, the Mannequin Challenge is just the newest iteration of the Tableau Vivant.
I move that this should be merged under that page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shorttom007 (talk • contribs) 13:30, 12 November 2016 (UTC)

The article references 3 'inventors': students in Florida, an early Improv Everywhere (which was not an attempt at the Mannequin Challenge) and then says the inventor is Burna Boy. That needs to be resolved. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ninetytwoseventeen (talk • contribs) 17:55, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

The Mannequin_Challenge#Notable_instances section is getting ridiculously long. We do not need to include every time the challenge was done, even if it was reported by reliable sources. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Some examples of occasions when it has happened are suitable, but the exhaustive list we have now is way over the top. Unless there are serious objections, I'll be trimming this down very significantly in the near future. --Hammersoft (talk) 19:30, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

I want to add at the end of the Artists and celebrities subsection, the following sentence:
While at the White House to be honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the 2016 honorees, including Bill Gates, Melinda Gates, Margaret Hamilton, Robert de Niro, and Ellen DeGeneres got to participate in a Mannequin Challenge.[1] Synthesiser (talk) 01:44, 23 November 2016 (UTC)

A video was produced to be posted on Wikipedia. It was done by the Engineering students of the University of Jordan. I will add it to the article. --Tarawneh (talk) 20:26, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

Please include the names of these black teens and that they are the originators of the Mannequin Challenge. Their names are Emili Allen, Jalen, Bre'Onna, A'laynah, Deryk Hill and Jasmine Cavins. Also include the reason as to why they started this challenge and their academic standing in school at Ed H. White Military Academy of Leadership in Jacksonville, Florida[1]. They all have GPA's of 3.5 or higher[2]. Lastly include that the reason why they started this is because they had time between classes and believe that if the world could collaborate on a challenge they started then there is more that can be done[3].

A quick research to fact check and you'll find numerous sources that all state the same thing, the challenge started at Ed White High School in Jacksonville Fl. It had nothing to do with Dr. Dre's Kush video, it was just a class prank that they were convinced to record and upload. What more evidence do you need than them being credited and the first use of the Mannequin Challenge hashtag coming from said video? Juschilltho (talk) 07:25, 17 May 2017 (UTC)
Here's an article from Technology Review saying Google scraped Mannequin Challenge videos and used them to train AI. Worth incorporating into this article?

Here's one from AfroTech that questions the ethics of that use.
