It's always nice to see friends going the extra mile to help each other out.

Sometimes it can be something small, like giving someone a lift somewhere or lending them a DVD. Other times it can be a full-on graduation photo recreation.

The outfits. The facial expressions. The kitchen roll. That is an A+ effort, if ever we've seen one.

They even bought a dress as part of the process.

Reddit, meanwhile, clearly appreciated the photo. As well as a string of 1000+ comments, that photo has also been upvoted well over 100,000 times.

Jokes aside, though, many people were quick to point that the guy graduating has clearly got a couple of great friends there.
