We all love a good bromance, especially of the Hollywood variety. There’s Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds (frenemies, might be the better title), The Rock and Kevin Hart, Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake… and of course, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.To clarify, their friendship is hardly new. Throughout their careers, the two have worked on plenty of projects together — they even wrote Good Will Hunting together. But it’s been awhile since we’ve seen their on-screen BFF dynamic, and we were overdue for a feel-good moment showcasing that tenured chemistry.The actors joined forces with Omaze for a good cause, creating a hilarious video to promote their fundraiser which offers one lucky winner (and a friend) the opportunity to travel out to Los Angeles to have lunch with them. Basically, the double friend date of all our dreams. 

The only problem? They can’t seem to agree on where said lunch should take place. Or who should pick up the tab. The verbal sparring that ensues in the video is seriously LOL-worthy, reminding fans of Damon’s natural aptitude for toe-to-toe sarcasm (Jimmy Kimmel, we’re looking at you here).Let’s just say, there were plenty of well placed jabs exchanged between the two. While Affleck continuously criticizes Damon for his performance with comments like, “You gotta spice it up," “Don’t be weird," and “No one wants to come have dinner with this guy," Damon hits him back where it hurts: Batman.After Affleck told Damon to “tell them something they’re interested in,” with reference to their famous characters, Jason Bourne and Batman, Damon asked, “Is Robert Pattinson coming?”[video_embed id='2054538']WATCH: Robert Pattinson reunites with 'The Batman' cast on set[/video_embed]Not missing a beat, Affleck shot back, “No, Jeremy Renner will be there though.” (ICYMI, Renner later starred in The Bourne Legacy, and Pattinson is the latest star to take on the role of Batman in the upcoming instalment). Honestly, we love these guys.Also worth mentioning is 48-year-old Affleck’s newly clean-shaven appearance, as well as his knowledge of the “Finsta” world. When the star asked Damon if he’s even on Instagram, he replied that he has a private account. “Finsta,” Affleck clarified. “That’s what the kids call it.”As one Twitter user points out, even 20 years later, the dynamic duo still reigns. All proceeds from the sweepstakes will support Affleck’s Eastern Congo Initiative and Water.org.[video_embed id='2049925']WATCH: 'Horse girl' gallops and jump just like a horse[/video_embed]
