The internet is an increasingly random space. One day, out of nowhere, something becomes a trend and the next thing you see is everyone trying their hands at the latest challenge. From The Condom Challenge to The Kylie Jenner Lip Challenge to The Harlem Shake, weird things have always found a way to become viral. The same can be said about The Kiki Challenge.

This challenge, which requires you to get out of a moving car and dance alongside to the song 'In My Feelings' by rapper Drake, has caused alarm bells to ring with police departments around the world. Obviously, celebrities and common people alike have used this opportunity to post videos of themselves accepting the challenge. There have also been various memes about it, and we will take a look at some of the highlights of the latest internet fad.

The first video was posted by Instagram user theshiggyshow.

People, and the Gujarat police, were not amused when this Vadodara woman attempted the challenge in the middle of a busy road.

Indian celebrities jumped on the bandwagon with Adah Sharma, Nora Fatehi and Nia Sharma posting videos performing the challenge.

I couldn't resist doing the #kikichallenge @champagnepapi so I sneaked out of my shoot and did it . . A little bit of @mattsteffanina , kathak I've learned from RajendraChaturvediji and expressions from all the VyjayanthimalaJi dances that my dad made me watch since I was a kid Ok bye !

I promise this is the Lamest #kikichallenge ever!! After failing at being the silliest a couple times... kudos to the people who’ve gone all out with it, I couldn’t surpass my own embarrassment.. anyhow we can all laugh at it together!! #kikichallenge #ofcoursethisislame #forgivemefatherforihavesinned #shraddhaarya Please do not try this on a busy road or wherever there’s even a hint of danger ...In fact, do not try it at all.. we are in the film business so we know how to do such things safely(even then it could go wrong,I agree), I wouldn’t recommend this to anyone to try at all!!!

Meanwhile, the Jaipur Police used the picture of a Kochi man with a garland around it to warn the youth against the dangers of participating in the Kiki Challenge, but there is one small problem: The man is still alive. The Mumbai and Uttar Pradesh police issued similar warnings asking people to not jump out of moving cars.

Dear Parents, whether Kiki loves your child or not, we are sure you do! So please stand by your kids in all the challenges in life except #kikichallenge . #KiKiHardlyAChallenge #InMyFeelingsChallenge #UPPolice pic.twitter.com/RyTvoChJFa
