On Air Now
The Capital Late Show with Sonny Jay 10pm - 1am
Mind = blown.
FYI. Friends were totally the first people to do the Mannequin Challenge…
… even if they didn’t know it at the time.
As one of the most loved TV shows of all time, we’re basically always re-watching Friends and it seems that one eagle-eyed viewer has spotted the fact that Rachel, Chandler, Monica, Joey and Phoebe were in fact the first to do the Mannequin Challenge!
Incase you have no idea what we’re talking about (have you been living under a rock recently?!), the Mannequin Challenge is basically when a group of people come together and stage freeze-frame scenes.
Which the cast of Friends totally did back in 2003.
In a deleted scene that was later added to the DVD versions of the show, the crew gather in Rachel’s living room hoping to see baby Emma crawl for them.
In order to let Emma concentrate, the gang fall silent and everyone freezes in their place - frying pan, razor, towel and colander in hand.
The fact that the Mannequin Challenge started 13 years ago is kind of mind-blowing.
