You have to give them points for trying.

Two boys went viral on Friday after trying to get the two-for-one special while seeing "Black Panther." Their disguise? A very long trench coat with one person sitting on the other's shoulders, looking like a very tall man.

In the video posted by Twitter user @stevelikescups, people are heard and seen snickering as the pair wait in line, towering over other movie patrons. Instead of looking like a mild-mannered adult, the two look more like an extremely tall Inspector Gadget. Their plot worked about as well as you'd expect.

"We tried getting the two for one special at black panther. The manager was not having it," @stevelikescups wrote in a tweet with the video. Since Friday, the video has been retweeted approximately 172,000 times, liked approximately 426,000 times and viewed 9.15 million times.

Another video shared by @stevelikescups shows what happened when the pair made it to the front of the line and asked the movie theater worker for one ticket. The worker saw right through the disguise and didn't sell them the ticket.

When asked if he got in from someone on Twitter, @stevelikescups responded "Nah, I don't know how but he knew something was up."
