So, did you have a planking today? It’s very simple, you just lie your face down with a straightened body, that’s all. Sounds easy, but this so-called “lying down game” has became the most famous Internet meme since months before, with thousands of photos of different lying poses spawning within the famous sites such as Facebook and Flickr.

But you know, humans get bored quickly when they’re seeing and doing the same thing over and over again. They will seek for something more creative, more fun and of course, crazier. Then they started planking on the tank, planking in the Star War suit, planking before the cows, and even captured the photo of polar bear in “planking” state.
So while you might be imagining the scene that human planks before the cows, we had collected 43 unusual photos with unusual planking poses in unusual situation. So what’s next? Take your coffee and enjoy these extraordinary yet amusing planking photos! And more surprise, we will be featuring Horsemaning, the next level of Internet meme!

How’s About Horsemaning?

Horsemaning, also called as “fake beheading” is currently expected as the new Internet meme that will take over the planking. However, there were some posts burst out from both Gawker and Dembot pointed out that the meme was genuinely created (or, “faked”) by BuzzFeed. While the site didn’t officially state it’s some kind of joke or what, they didn’t deny it either.
So now the Horsemaning was coined as “Forced Meme” or “Fake Meme”, but is it really important that the meme is deliberately created or not? We’re not sure about the answer, but Internet people are already taking up the trend, and below are some neat Horsemaning photos for you to enjoy!
