Pull a face-swap prank in a movie scene.

How a face-swap prank works

1. Open Telegram paused and tap Start.
2. Pick a scene that sets up the joke — action, music video, sci-fi, anything that has built-in absurdity.
3. Send a clear selfie of the prank target (with their consent, ideally in on it).
4. Standin's website can create a private, visibly watermarked Action Hero preview when intake is enabled. A clean-result unlock is offered only when the website Stripe offer is configured, and its current amount is shown before purchase. Telegram is a separate native flow without external payment buttons.

Pranks that actually land

• The contrast swap. Send the uptight coworker into a music video. The friend who's never been to a gym into an action-hero scene. The quiet one into a rockstar mic-drop moment. Comedy reads on the gap between the person's vibe and the scene's energy.
• The friend in a famous moment. Put a recognizable face into a moment the group has seen a hundred times. They get why it's funny without explanation.
• The couple swap. separate private clips for each consenting adult partner — for a birthday, an anniversary, a long-distance Valentine's. The shared-joke angle lands harder than the surprise angle.
• The reaction-meme setup. No built-in Meme & Reaction scene is currently available; a permitted custom clip may be used only through the separate Telegram flow. Inside joke, made physical.

The rules that keep pranks funny instead of gross

• Consent from the subject. If their face is going in the clip, they should know about it. Surprises work for birthday parties, not for anything involving public figures or sensitive contexts.
• Don't impersonate real public figures. The bot blocks attempts to swap in real public figures. The category of "prank" that involves putting a celebrity's face on something they didn't say is off the table.
• Keep it in the group. A prank that lives in a closed group chat is a prank. A prank that goes public needs the subject to be in on it.
