What is the General Mayonez and Armenka trend?
The recognizable details are the two instruments and the characters’ contrasting outfits. General Mayonez, the name used for Michael in this version, wears a khaki uniform and a beret while holding the drum. Armenka has a dark moustache, a patterned sleeveless top and an accordion across his chest. Both appear inside a car, making this a duet you can recreate from photos without needing either instrument.
Michael is the Univer character played by Ararat Keshchyan. Armenka is the Realnye Patsany character played by Armen Bezhanyan. Searches may use “General Mayonnaise,” “General Mayonez,” “Michael and Armenka” or the Russian names «Генерал Майонез» and «Арменка». The nickname identifies the costume and meme version used by this template.
What is the source of this version?
This template uses an AI-made crossover of the two character looks. Its scene combines the drum player and accordion player in the same car setting. Treat it as a creative remix featuring familiar sitcom characters, rather than using it to identify a particular episode or a real meeting between the actors.
The full template is about 14 seconds and contains its own audio track. vswp retains that sound when you replace a character. The exact music title and performer have not been verified, so no song credit is inferred from either show or from the instruments visible in the scene.
Which two roles can you replace?
General Mayonez, Michael with the drum. Choose this role for the character in the uniform and beret. His hands come near his face, and the drum occupies much of the foreground. With the original look kept, the outfit and drum stay part of the scene.
Armenka with the button accordion. Choose this role for the moustached character in the patterned sleeveless top. The instrument and its strap help identify him when the shot changes.

Which photos work for the drum and accordion roles?
For General Mayonez, use a clear face with no hands covering the mouth. The beret and hand movements are already in the template, so a neutral, evenly lit portrait provides useful facial detail without adding another obstruction. Keep the original look if you want the military costume to stay.
For Armenka, use a sharp photo with visible eyes and a clear mouth and jaw. The moustache belongs to this character’s source appearance; choose your reference for the person you want to appear in the result. A full-body photo is most useful when bringing your own clothes instead of keeping the patterned top.
Use separate photos containing one person each for a duo. See the photo selection guide for more tips. Generative AI can vary in likeness, hands and details around the instruments. Ask friends before using their photos, then explore the other trends for another scene.
