These two twins figured out a genius way to pull off a yearbook prank that could never be topped. It's probably the best yearbook prank of all time.
Growing up I always dreamed of having a clone so we could have each other's backs. If I wanted to play hookie and sneak into a movie matinee, then my clone could cover for me when I went to class. If he wanted to be a real bad boy, he could enjoy family dinners while I chilled underneath my bed and read comic books.

I never really thought about what could go wrong with that plan or my parent's inevitable discovery of my clone, but I just knew it'd be handy to have a doppelganger that I was cool with.
Not the other kind of clone who wanted to have me killed and ultimately replace my life, like in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, that would suck.

I guess having a twin sibling is a lot like having a clone in certain situations and would be a lot more manageable than somehow materializing another version of yourself out of nowhere. If I had an identical twin brother I'm sure I could come up with some nifty uses for the circumstances of my birth.

Like Malcolm and Marcus Williams did on picture day.

When Marcus was sick back in high school, his brother, Malcolm, decided to step up to the plate and make sure his face was in the yearbook.
You know, because people think they share the same face, basically.

They had the entire thing planned out: Malcolm would be smiling in his photo. "Marcus" wouldn't be.

Did you guys go over how you were going to pose for the picture?
— Melissa~ (@MeliMelissax3) June 5, 2018They look so alike that it took students in their school a while to figure out that they weren't the same person and just managed to get to different areas of the school very quickly.

tbh it took me 2 years to figure out y’all were twins. I thought I just kept seeing the same person walking around the halls but then realized there’s two of you 🤦🏻♀️😂
— laighson (@laighsonpruitt) June 5, 2018Technically though, they're not identical twins, and when you see them side to side, although you can definitely tell that they're brothers, you can notice slight similarities between the two of them.

Some people began sharing their own "twin swap" stories. Like this one guy who worked with a dude who would send his twin to work whenever he was hungover. So good.

This is hilarious to me. I use to work with a twin that literally use to send his twin to work when he was hungover. The twin that came to work use to be like I don’t feel good today that’s why I’m acting like this 🤣🤣🤣🤣. We found 3 years later that was happening. https://t.co/bJVkkWcV88
— Produced By: (@KingDominus) June 5, 2018Other twins fessed up to pulling similar shenanigans.

For a lot of people, they're just happy that twins are really taking advantage of the fact that they were born that way.

I don't know why that's so funny to me... twins really be doing "twin shit" 😂 that's dope
— QueenKristopher (@kristoptheworld) June 5, 2018While others thought it was a golden opportunity to explore which "person" in the picture is liked more at first glance.

There’s a psychological experiment waiting to happen here. Just show this picture, then ask: Which brother do you trust more? Which are you more attracted to? Which is smarter?
— Corey DeMoss (@CoreyDeMoss) June 5, 2018Marcus and Malcolm aren't the first set of twins to use their school's yearbook as a chance to pull something funny.
