New viral photo trends come as quickly as they go these days. Take a look at some of the highlights from the past few months and maybe discover a few new trends that you may have missed.
Planking
The progenitor. The exact origins of planking is unknown. TV personality Tom Green has claimed to have invented the phenomenon way back in 1994, but it didn't become the trend we know it as until recently.
Teapotting
Next up came what the Herald Sun called the "the 'safer' alternative to planking," teapotting. The craze was started by teachers at Mortlake College in Australia after witnessing the success of planking.
Owling
Owling was another fad created in response to planking, this time by the online community Reddit. "Owlers" took things to a new level by perching themselves in precarious spots like an owl.
Batting
Less a full on trend in its own right, batting (sometimes called batmanning) was more of a game of one-upsmanship with fans of the owling craze, and required a bit more skill to pull off successfully.
