It's the latest viral trend that countless people are trying on for size.

But not even Amy Schumer, 35, could coax a few restaurant workers from doing her Mannequin Challenge.

The comedienne's challenge was in for a reality check during dinner at Schwa restaurant in Chicago, where she convinced everyone to freeze, except for a few employees.

'Welcome to the mannequin challenge,' Amy told her Instagram followers at the start of the video.

Amy showed everyone in her dinner party, completely suspended in motion, as she panned her camera from left to right.

However the illusion was broken by several restaurant employees, who were all seen in the background, cleaning up the kitchen.

Amy walked inside the kitchen, jokingly confronting the workers: 'You guys, remember we said we were going to do the mannequin challenge, and everybody was going to stop moving?'

The kitchen workers don't even acknowledge Amy, who then adds, 'Mannequins don't play by the rules!'

Amy captioned the hilarious video, 'Best Mannequin challenge #mannequinchallenge #schwa #bestmealever.'

The star's boyfriend, Ben Hasich, could be seen also playing along with the challenge in the video.

Amy, who is scheduled to next appear in the drama Thank You For Your Service, described her relationship with Ben back in August as 'just really easy.'

'There were no games, no waiting three days. It was clear and easy. He was so sweet. He didn’t know who I was. He’d heard my name,' she told People.

Although they've been together since November 19, 2015, it wasn't until January that the two went public with their romance.

Their connection was nearly instant, Amy wrote in her book, The Girl With The Lower Back Tattoo.

Writing of their first meeting, she explained in her memoir, 'We smiled at each other and in that moment, everything felt right.'
