Turnly
Every AI video trend Turnly has a template for: what it is, how many photos it needs, and whether people are still posting it. Checked November 4, 2026 against the AI versions posted on TikTok in the 7 days before; updated every week.
The status counts the different creators whose TikTok captions name the trend, in a search of up to 120 recent posts. It shows which trends are alive, not how big they are.
15 or more creators posted an AI version on TikTok in the last 7 days.
The pimpwalk entrance, also called the hold the door trend, started in October 2026 with a TikTok clip filmed at a barbershop entrance: one man holds the door and bounces while his friend, in a sharp suit and hat, struts in with an over-the-top slow, low pimp walk. By the end of October people were remaking it with AI and CapCut templates, putting themselves and their friends in the doorway.
The coffee making trend took off on TikTok and Reels at the end of October 2026: AI clips of someone who should never be left alone in a kitchen, from golden retrievers in bibs to a knight in armor, trying to make a coffee, spilling everything and playing innocent while a second character watches. People now make it with themselves, friends and pets.
The zombie ambush trend, captioned "Would you still love me if I were a zombie?", took off on TikTok at the end of October 2026: AI clips where someone's pet comes back as a zombie in a dark abandoned room, the owner aims at it but can't shoot, opens their arms, and the pet leaps into a sunlit field where they're together again. Tutorial posts with the cat and the dog versions passed a million views each within days, most of them made with a CapCut template.
The caricature trend turns a photo into a big-headed 3D caricature; a CapCut template for it was made in August 2026 and used tens of thousands of times by October, with couples posting grumpy-old-couple versions. Earlier caricature trends go back to late 2025.
Hit the road dude started as an August 2025 TikTok of an older man in a white pickup truck chasing two fishermen away from a pond they thought was state property. His stunned "State?" and "Hit the road, dude, this ain't no state property" became the State Property meme, and in autumn 2026 it came back as a wave of AI remakes starring cats and other characters.
The BbY WOW trend comes from a party clip set to "BbY WOW" by KAROL G, Judeline and rusowsky: a guest dances up, pops a pastry into their mouth on the "dime dime baby" beat, chews with a totally straight face and dances away. In October 2026 it spread as an AI trend, with people putting themselves, friends and pets in the guest's place.
The C-Walk is a footwork dance from Los Angeles hip-hop in the 1970s and 80s. In January 2026 "C-Walk from one photo" became an AI trend, led by a crosswalk clip from @sllykidchaos; pet versions followed in the summer.

The Toc Toc dance is a French party-song dance that took over TikTok in late September 2026: a hop on one foot, knocking on an invisible door on the "toc toc", then skipping across the room. Many people tie it to Jean Phil, an AI character whose first video went up in mid-September; the clip most versions copy came from the French account @castinggastro.

Every year TikTok says goodbye to the old year with AI videos made from a photo; the "goodbye 2025 welcome 2026" clips peaked in the last week of December at millions of views each. The 2027 version, climbing a giant marble 2027 on a mountain top, was first posted on October 26, 2026, and a French sister version where the 6 is pushed off the cliff followed two days later.
4 to 14 creators posted an AI version in the last 7 days.
The toy car to real car trend is a transition edit that spread on Instagram and TikTok in October 2026: a toy model of someone's car sits on a train window ledge, the train goes into a tunnel and the toy comes out as the real car on the road. Tutorials for it are on YouTube and AI tools also call it the train window car video.
The Enchantress filter is a CapCut transformation template first posted by @artemiscc_capcut in mid-October 2026: a black witch's hand takes yours and you turn into a moon witch with a gold crescent crown. It spread fast in the run-up to Halloween.

The kung fu cat is an October 2026 reel: an orange cat sits upright on its owner's lap and blocks and strikes like a martial-arts master, chopping a tissue in half while "Kung Fu Fighting" plays. People started making AI versions with their own cats and dogs within days.

Wizard cat is what the internet calls AI images of cats in wizard hats. In October 2026 an AI reel of a chubby ginger wizard cat dancing by a river at night to "She Bugging (Whatchu Gonna Do)" took off, and people started making it with their own pets.
The dog coffee fail is an October 2026 AI reel of two golden retrievers in cream bibs making coffee: the older one pours carefully, the puppy spills everything, and the older one covers its eyes, set to Julio Iglesias' "Con la Misma Piedra". People now make it with their own pets.
Filters people use all year, not one moment's trend.
"Me at 5 ages" took off on TikTok in March 2026: one photo, then the same person at several ages. It keeps coming back as people add parents, partners and friends.

The angel or devil meter is an old TikTok face effect, with posts going back to 2021: two percentages count up over your head and decide whether you're an angel or a devil. It keeps coming back, now as AI videos made from a photo.
