# West Point Cadets Take On The Mannequin Challenge With Hilarious Results

The “mannequin challenge” is video’s latest attempt to break the internet. Across the country, there has been a surge in videos of people standing frozen in action trying not to blink as the song "Black Beatles" by Rae Sremmurd plays in the background. [The first video was produced](<https://www.bustle.com/articles/193834-where-did-the-mannequin-challenge-come-from-a-look-into-the-meme-sweeping-the-nation>) by high school students in Jacksonville, Florida, in late-October. But the trend was quick to spread.

For the military, the mannequin challenge brings a whole new meaning to standing in formation. These four mannequin challenges, one from each service branch, are our favorites.
