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.

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)

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)
