Fallon brought the group of teens to Madame Tussaud's in New York City's Times Square, a popular tourist destination known for its life-like wax statues of Hollywood's elite.
Here, the cast, joined by Fallon all decked out in his best Barb attire (RIP), pretended to be their wax counterparts as groups of people passing through the museum came to have their pictures taken.

But little did the fans know that they were, in fact, surrounded by the real deal. And the sly teens certainly made them pay dearly for that assumption, with hilarious results.
Watch for yourself:

Of course, after the initial fright wore off, the fans were all pumped at a chance to meet the stars in the flesh, and a good time was had by all.
The best reaction maybe has to go to this guy, who straight up told Jimmy Fallon how stupid he looked dressed as Barb.
