1. Rumpelstiltskin: the tiptoe dance
The breakout meme of the month. Someone sneaks into a hay-filled barn, shushes the camera and tiptoe-dances in pointy curled shoes while a friend tries not to laugh. It's the go-to reaction for raiding the fridge at 2 a.m. or being far too proud of a tiny win.

2. Gas Station Dance
A vertical three-shot clip at a sunset gas station: one friend opens with a dance on the empty forecourt, one films a selfie mid-party, and one steps out of a sports car to close it out. Built for phones, it's the one to post straight to TikTok and Reels.
- Photos: 3 — the dancer, the selfie and the car entrance. Only two of you? Put one person in two slots.
- Tip: your best dancer goes in photo 1; the car entrance gets the biggest close-up.

3. Alors on danse: the white-studio jam
Stromae's 2009 hit is back as the soundtrack to two friends jamming on a mini keyboard in a white studio, laughing into the lens and jogging off together. Perfect for celebrating a launch, a deadline or just Friday.
- Photos: 2 — the keyboard player and the hype partner.

4. APT.: the pink studio duo
The original two-person music-video swap, set to ROSÉ and Bruno Mars' "APT.": one friend on the drums, one on the mic, both in the pink studio for the full routine.
- Photos: 2 — the drummer and the singer.

5. Burning Bridges: "Where she at?"
Drake's party scene under crystal chandeliers: a black hat, a silver cup, a collar grab and a flat hand over the eyes on the "Where she at?" line. It's the reaction for every friend who said "just one drink" and vanished.
- Photos: 1 — you, under the hat.

6. Toc Toc: the dance line
A line of dancers on a stage charges the camera one by one, fists knocking at the chest and hopping on one foot, then comes round for a second lap. Short, vertical and made for a quick post.
- Photos: 1 to 3 — one is enough to lead the line; add friends to fill the next places.

7. Smalltown Boy: the wide-angle scream
Set to Bronski Beat's 1984 synth-pop hit: one friend screams into a wide-angle lens clutching their head while the other dances behind, then they swap, dance side by side in a backyard and lunge at the camera together. It's the reaction for any moment that deserves a dramatic scream.
- Photos: 2 — the first scream and the second scream.

8. Bulin 47: the street freestyle
One handheld take in a red-lit entrance: you freestyle at the camera, hands going to the beat, while a friend holds a phone and a portable speaker in the foreground and the crowd films. It's the "soy Bulin 47" clip creators keep remaking on TikTok and X.
- Photos: 1 — the person freestyling (a pet works too).
- Make it: Bulin 47 template
9. Bad Times: the argument with the camera
An over-the-top argument with whoever is filming, lip-synced to Imael Angel's "BAD TIMES": head in hands, "hold on" palms and a lunge at the lens. The pet versions — cats and dogs standing up to argue — made it a trend of its own.
- Photos: 1 — you, a friend or your pet.

10. Ozil AI goal: the chip, the slides, the finish
An AI remake of Mesut Özil's 2016 solo goal with you in his place: run at the lens, chip the diving keeper, chest it down, let two defenders slide past and score under the floodlights — in your own clothes. It took off on TikTok on October 9, 2026.
- Photos: 1 — the scorer, ideally full length.

Tips that work for every trend
- Clear, front-facing photos. One person per photo, even light, nothing covering the face.
- Your photos set the look. Hair and outfits follow the photos, so pick ones you like.
- Cast by personality. Give the dramatic friend the role with the close-up.
- Only use photos of people who agreed to be in it. Celebrity photos and screenshots won't pass review.
- Try 480p first. Once you like the result, render the one you'll post at 720p or 1080p.
