In case you're a Medieval armor enthusiast who's now thinking, "Finally, my time has come!" after seeing the Gauntlet Challenge trending, put away your buffing towels and metal shine lotion, because the gauntlet that this specific challenge is referring to is a trial, or rather an endurance test.

It's also known as "run the gauntlet" as it challenges the fortitude of viewers who are asked to watch some of the most disgusting videos the internet has to offer to see if they can get to the end without looking away for quitting the challenge. Each video ups the ante in terms of grossness and disturbing imagery, sort of like The Game of Death, but for social media.

A lot of the videos in the challenge are "classic" internet urban legends that have existed and gone viral several times over throughout the last decade or even longer. The true horror of the challenge is that many folks presume that the videos they're watching are all true, however, this isn't the case and some were created simply to freak people out.
