Is anyone else sick of 'challenges' on social media like the Kiki and baby shark challenges?

Maybe I'm getting old but I don't find the challenges funny where everyone posts their 'challenge' on Facebook and it's just the same as the first hundred people who did it but everyone comments how funny it is and what a legend they are.
I really don't get why it's called a challenge when it's just uploading a video of you copying what others have done.
Please tell me others get annoyed with this new trend?

It's ridiculous

What's the baby shark challenge? Confused

I don't get it either. I keep getting loads of those kiwi vids sent/tagged saying I must watch it. Hmm
Glad I'm not the only one

The baby shark challenge is just singing along to a baby shark song (don't know if that's the correct full name of the song) and moving your hands like a shark. It gets old really fast but now this is the new one.

Ffs op it is nearly midnight and ive now got that tune in my head. Is that a reportable offence MNHQ?

I obviously meant kiki not kiwi Blush I need to go to bed.

I've probably seen it then but my phone is always on silent so just not heard it.

Oh but the people falling all over themselves and bumping into cars/lampposts/whatever are funny.

I'm easily amused.Grin

There's a horrific one going round on Facebook whether it's true I don't know but it makes you wonder is it worth being knocked over just to upload a video for likes.

Meh..people are stupid. It's about time that being stupid (actually) hurts.

What's the one where people walk (badly dance) alongside a moving car? I'm seeing more and more of those and keep praying for a lamppost to appear.

In fact, the most recent one was the baby shark dance alongside the car. Must be a mashup of two challenges.

I really don't get it.
