How would you react if you were suddenly able to make someone stand still? Well, a new YouTube trend, the pause challenge, is doing just that and gaining millions of views at the same time.
The trending YouTube video require two participants: one who instructs the other to pause whatever they are doing, wherever they are doing it, and one who obeys the pause.
The challenge resembles Adam Sandler’s 2006 comedy movie “Click,” where Sandler’s character uses a magic remote to rewind, pause and fast forward his life. Anybody who has watched the film knows the hilarious consequences of Sandler’s actions (farting on a paused Hasselhoff is a classic).
A silly, yet central component of the pause challenge is the remote that YouTubers bring on their adventures, pressing its buttons to make it seem as if their partner is a TV. Various channel owners performed the trend on their brother, sister, boyfriend, girlfriend, etc.
The challenge results in awkward and funny moments that are put on pause for as long as the remote owner feels. Let’s press the play button and scroll through four popular channels that broadcasted the challenge to see how their adventures turned out.
