What This Template Is Based On

The template recreates the famous scene from the 2008 comedy film Step Brothers, directed by Adam McKay and starring Will Ferrell (Brennan Huff) and John C. Reilly (Dale Doback). The line:

“Did we just become best friends?!”

has become one of the film’s most quoted moments and a staple reaction across meme culture, often used to signal instant chemistry, shared niche interests, or unexpected alignment in online communities.

What You Can Do With This Template

This template is built on Magic Hour’s Face Swap engine, the same technology behind the standalone AI Face Swap and Face Swap GIF tools. With it, you can:

Create instant reaction memes for product launches, team announcements, feature reveals, or partnerships.
Generate inside-joke content for Discord communities, Slack teams, or customer groups.
Prototype campaign concepts quickly before committing to bigger production budgets.
Repurpose across formats by pairing this template with tools like Video Upscaler or Auto Subtitle Generator.

How to Use (and Remix) This Template in Magic Hour

You can either use this template as-is or treat it as a starting point for more advanced AI video workflows.

Start with Face Swap
Open Magic Hour’s Face Swap Video creator. Upload or choose the Step Brothers “Did We Just Become Best Friends?” scene as your base clip, or select it from your saved templates if it’s already in your library.
Upload your faces
Add the face (or faces) you want to appear in the scene—your own selfies, teammates, clients, influencers, or fictional characters. Magic Hour’s Avatar Generator or AI Face Generator can help you create new identities if you don’t have source photos.
Swap one or both characters
Decide whether you want to replace one character (reaction meme) or both (duo meme, “before/after,” co-founder bit, etc.). The AI automatically tracks expressions and head movements to keep the swap consistent across the full clip.
Export and share
Download your final video and post it directly to TikTok, Reels, Shorts, X, or embed it into newsletters, landing pages, or internal comms.

How to Remix This Template Beyond Simple Face Swap

For more advanced creators and teams, you can use the same scene as a building block in a larger Magic Hour workflow:

Add lip sync or voice
Use AI Lip Sync to make the characters say your own script, or pair it with AI Voice Generator or AI Voice Cloner to match your real voice or a brand voice.
Transform the visual style
Run the clip through Video to Video or combine it with AI Anime Generator, Disney AI Generator, or Dark Fantasy AI to reimagine the scene in completely different aesthetics (anime, cartoon, comic, fantasy, etc.).
Turn it into an animated character bit
Use Animation or Animated Characters Generator to spin your swapped faces into recurring characters for a series of short episodes or brand content.
Generate supporting visuals
For thumbnails, cover images, or social promos, use AI Image Generator, Thumbnail Maker, or Album Cover Generator to create still assets featuring your swapped characters.
Make GIFs and short loops
Convert the key moment (“Did we just become best friends?!”) into GIFs or short loops using AI GIF Generator, then reuse them in Slack, Discord, email, or documentation.

Use Cases for Creators, Marketers, and Teams

This single meme template is surprisingly versatile when combined with Magic Hour’s toolset:

Marketing & Growth
Announce partnerships, integrations, or co-marketing efforts by placing both brands’ founders or mascots into the scene. Embed in launch posts, product update emails, or landing pages.
Product & Community
Celebrate power users, contributors, or community milestones. Put your users alongside your team in the “best friends” moment, then share on community channels.
Internal Comms
Onboard new hires, celebrate cross-team wins, or mark big releases with a playful but polished meme featuring your leadership or teams.
Content Creators & Streamers
Use it as a recurring reaction asset in streams, video essays, or commentary channels—changing the faces and captions depending on the topic.
Startups & Small Teams
Rapidly prototype creative angles for social without booking shoots or editors. Combine this with Text to Video and Image to Video to spin up full campaigns around one core joke.

Tips for Better Results

Use clear, front-facing faces for the cleanest swaps. Selfies, professional headshots, or portrait photos work well. If you need better source images, try AI Headshot Generator or AI Selfie Generator.
Clean up or enhance inputs with AI Image Upscaler, Unblur Image, or AI Remover before swapping.
Localize or caption content using Auto Subtitle Generator if you’re targeting multiple languages or platforms that often autoplay without sound.
