The Sacramento Kings were Milwaukee this weekend for a game Saturday night against the Bucks – and the young Bucks were very rude hosts, pummeling the Kings not only on the court in a 117-91 win, but also on social media with the #MannequinChallenge.
What is the #MannequinChallenge, you ask? Well, remember planking?
#MannequinChallenge is the new planking. People hold still in poses while the person taking the video wanders around, recording it all. Yes, the latest internet video craze is just people not moving. Kids today ... what a bunch of weirdos, amirite?
Anyway, the Kings were in town early Saturday, so they did the #MannequinChallenge on some Bublrs on Wisconsin Avenue to kill some time. It was fairly impressive. But then the Bucks showed up ...

Production value with a song playing in the background! Steve Novak laying on top of the airplane seats – while wearing a championship belt! Thon Maker just counting up bills like a boss! Even getting the stewardesses in on the act! Boy, the Bucks really went scorched earth on the poor Kings last night.
It's a fun video – even more fun when it comes complete with a well-earned W on the scoreboard – so enjoy this, fans, and then try to remember this a year from now when the #MannequinChallenge takes its place next to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and the Harlem Shake in the pantheon of weird random stuff we got forgot people did on the internet.
As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
