How to Make the White Chicks AI Video (The Haaland Meme Everyone Is Sharing)
The Scene Everyone Recognizes
If you have been on any social media platform during the 2026 World Cup, you have seen it. Erling Haaland's face edited onto Marlon Wayans' character. Vinicius Jr replacing Terry Crews. Both of them singing "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton in a car. The iconic singalong scene from the 2004 comedy White Chicks, recreated with AI face swaps.
The original fan edit was posted by the Instagram account @stayhumblecentral ahead of the Round of 16 match between Norway and Brazil. It racked up over 4.5 million views. What pushed it into a different level was Haaland himself commenting on it: "Hahahahahahaahaha @vinijr we need to recreate this." Vinicius responded with laughing emojis. Then Terry Crews acknowledged it. The meme had gone from fan edit to crossover event.

The Terry Crews "A Thousand Miles" scene has been a meme template since before memes had a name. Crews' character Latrell Spencer is a massive, intimidating guy who commits fully to singing a soft pop ballad in his car. The contrast is what makes it work — it is funny every single time regardless of whose face gets swapped in.
The scene has cycled through Vine remixes, YouTube compilations, TikTok audio templates, and now AI face swap videos. Every few years it finds a new format and a new audience. The 2026 World Cup version just happened to land at the perfect intersection of AI video tools, football culture, and two players the internet already loves to meme.
How It Spread Through the Tournament
The timeline tells the story:
Round of 16 — Norway vs Brazil: The original Haaland and Vinicius Jr edit goes viral. Both players engage with it publicly. Terry Crews responds. Norway wins 2-1 with Haaland scoring both goals, and after the match Vinicius walks over to embrace him. The meme becomes the tournament's feel-good story.
Quarterfinals — Norway vs England: A new version appears with Harry Kane replacing Vinicius. This one hit 7 million views. Versions with Bukayo Saka and Jude Bellingham followed. The format became the default way fans hyped up World Cup matchups — put the two strikers in the White Chicks car and let the internet do the rest.
The AI Behind It
The edits use face swap AI — the same technology behind most viral video memes in 2026. A face from a photo gets mapped onto a character in existing footage, with lighting, angle, and skin tone matched automatically. The good versions look seamless. The bad versions look like someone cut out a magazine photo and taped it to a screen.
The difference between a viral-quality edit and a bad one usually comes down to the tool. Generic face swap apps produce the taped-on look. Tools that handle lighting matching and motion tracking produce the ones that actually get shared.

Who People Are Putting In It
The World Cup versions are the most visible, but the format works for anything:
- Friends — the classic move, two friends in the car singing
- Rivals — coworkers, sports matchups, debate opponents
- Couples — oddly wholesome
- Celebrities — any two public figures the internet wants to see together
- Yourself twice — the solo version, you singing to yourself
The scene works because it is not mean-spirited. It is two people having a good time. That is why players like Haaland and Vinicius lean into it instead of ignoring it.
