This video shows a split screen. The top half features an animated scene of Gru and Lucy from 'Despicable Me' attempting to kiss, but their long noses get in the way. The bottom half shows a real-life couple recreating this scene, complete with prosthetic noses and wedding attire, mimicking the animated characters' movements and expressions.

Why it worked
The video works because it leverages a popular and recognizable animated movie scene, combining it with a humorous real-life recreation. The absurdity of the long noses and the couple's commitment to mimicking the characters' expressions and movements creates a highly entertaining and shareable piece of content. The split-screen format allows for direct comparison, enhancing the comedic effect and making it easy for viewers to understand the reference. The use of a trending audio further boosts its discoverability.
