Freddy Chase let go of a hot air balloon basket in September 2021 while a friend asked for his last words, and his calm "love you boys" countdown turned the clip into a TikTok hit. By April 2022, a green-screen edit made the fall into a reusable template for jokes about dropping tools, anime grief and gaming disasters.

Overview

Got The Framing Right?, also known as "Love You Boys" Let Go, works as a green-screen TikTok template built around Freddy Chase hanging from a hot air balloon basket, letting go, and counting down "3, 2, 1" with his hands behind his head after telling his friends "love you boys"6. Creators replace the sky behind him with an image or clip of whatever ridiculous thing he is supposedly falling into, so the viewer watches him plunge toward it with the same relaxed body language4.

The humor comes from the contrast between Chase's calm face and the context underneath. A typical post shows the green-screened clip over a photo or short loop, with a text overlay naming the disaster, from a 10mm socket vanishing into an engine bay5 to the final emotional scene of the anime film A Silent Voice7. The original audio of Chase chatting with friends carries over, so viewers hear the same "any last words?" exchange no matter the context.

On September 25th, 2021, professional base jumper, skydiver and paraglider Freddy Chase posted a TikTok of himself hanging off the side of a hot air balloon basket, letting go with his hands behind his head, counting down and then opening his parachute1. Three days later, on September 28th, 2021, Chase reposted the clip with new audio, where it reached roughly 18 million plays and 833,300 likes over the following eight months2. On September 27th, 2021, the account @oldrowoutdoors reposted the raw version with Chase's original "love you boys" exchange intact, reaching about 12.4 million plays and 875,200 likes3.

The exploitable template arrived on April 29th, 2022, when @creatorsetmedia green-screened Chase's footage so other TikTok users could put their own backgrounds behind the falling base jumper4.

How It Spread

The format caught on the same day the green-screen clip appeared. On April 29th, 2022, TikToker @ga.racing posted the earliest known template edit, a joke about a 10mm socket falling into an engine compartment that reached roughly 322,200 plays and 40,300 likes within two weeks5. A day later, @steezy33_ ran another car-culture version, earning around 14,000 plays and 1,000 likes in the same window6.

By early May the template moved past gearhead humor. On May 5th, 2022, @suzxne posted an edit that referenced the anime film A Silent Voice, reaching roughly 838,100 plays and 237,500 likes in six days7. The next day, @tsm used the format for a joke aimed at Valorant players, where it still gathered hundreds of thousands of plays within five days8. These gaming and anime edits moved the clip out of its base-jumping context and into general TikTok meme circulation.

How to Use This Meme

To use the format, creators typically layer the green-screen Chase clip over a static image or short video of the subject they want him to fall into, then add a text overlay naming it. A common convention is to keep Chase's original audio untouched, so the "any last words?" setup and "love you boys" line stay as the punchline frame regardless of the background.
