Brainrot memes are everywhere right now. They are chaotic, absurd, and weirdly addictive. Whether it’s Bombardiro Crocodilo, Brr Brr Patapim, or Smurf Cat, these viral TikToks follow the same glorious formula: complete nonsense + perfect delivery = instant brainrot.
Want to make one yourself? It’s easier than you think. Here's how:
🤯 What is brainrot, exactly?
Brainrot memes are the internet’s version of dropping acid in a Walmart parking lot. It's chaotic, absurd, and strangely addictive. “Brainrot” is internet slang for content that melts your cognitive functions in the best way possible. Think: stuff that’s so dumb, it loops right back around to being brilliant.
It’s that moment when your brain goes “why is there a fish flying a drone while speaking Italian?” but also “I must send this to everyone I know.”
And yeah, this brand of weirdness is booming. On TikTok, brainrot memes rack up millions of views. You’ve probably seen (or heard) something like:
Bombardiro Crocodilo (a crocodile turned military aircraft)
Brr Brr Patapim (no explanation needed)
Smurf Cat (just… why?)
Each one lives rent-free in our heads because they follow a simple, irresistible recipe:
Unhinged visuals + cursed audio + weird storytelling = viral gold.
Let’s break it down and make your own.
🧪 Why brainrot videos actually work
There’s real psychology behind it. Brainrot content thrives because:
It’s unpredictable - our brains love novelty.
It’s remixable - users build on each other’s memes (yes, even chaos has structure).
It feels low-effort - but actually hits just the right mix of creativity and nonsense.
It’s funny - not in a polished Netflix comedy way, but in a “my neurons are clapping” way.
Also:
➡️ They’re short.
➡️ They’re fast.
➡️ They’re shareable.
In a sea of serious content, brainrot is like your weird friend yelling nonsense in Italian, and somehow that friend is always the life of the party, and often drunk.
🧠 How to make brainrot (in 4 cursed steps)
Yes, it’s easier than it looks. You don’t need a full production studio, just some imagination, Motionize, and a complete lack of shame.
🐊 Step 1: come up with a weird combo
Start by mixing animals and objects. The key? It should make absolutely no sense. The more your brain says “wait, what?” the better.
Formula:
Animal + Object = Gold
Object + Object = Also Gold
Object + Italian Word = Chef’s kiss
Examples that slap:
Crocodile + Bomber Plane → Bombardiro Crocodilo
Shark + Nike shoes → Tralalero Tralala
Chickpea + Hitman → Capuchino Assassino
Toaster + Confetti → Toasterella Boom Boom
Don't be afraid to go off-script. Think “grilled cheese” + “spaceship” = Panino Intergalactico. It doesn't have to be smart. It has to be brainrot.
🎙️ Step 2: generate the italian brainrot voice
Ah yes, the voice. It’s that broken Italian AI voice that sounds like Mario after three espresso shots. You can use Motionize’s text-to-speech feature to make your creature speak in:
- Dramatic rhymes
- Gibberish poetry
- Sound effects ("Brr brr patapim!")
- Fake threats that make no sense ("I will destroy Roma with pesto rocketto")
Keep it punchy. One or two lines, tops. Just enough to confuse, delight, and haunt people at 3AM.
Bonus tip:
Misspell things intentionally. Real brainrot doesn’t care for grammar. Real brainrot says “amico, I go kaboom in the machino.”
🧌 Step 3: generate the image
Next, give your monster a face. Use Motionize to create an AI image of your cursed combo. Here’s what you want:
Half-animal, half-machine
Dramatic lighting (like a movie poster, but worse)
Slightly distorted (so it feels wrong in all the right ways)
Think of it as if Salvador Dalí had access to Stable Diffusion and a Red Bull addiction. The image should feel like a dream you forgot and then suddenly remembered in a cold sweat.
Pro tip: Add visual “flaws” like extra limbs, glowing eyes, or melting textures. It’ll crank up the uncanny vibes to 11.
🎬 Step 4: put it together in a TikTok
Now you’ve got your voice and your image, it's time to cook. Toss them into a TikTok video with these finishing touches:
Dramatic orchestral music or something absurdly emotional
- The AI voice narrating with slow, intense pacing
- Subtitles in broken Italian (or gibberish, really)
- A sudden ending - no fades, just cut
Don’t overthink it. Slap it together. If it feels stupid, you’re doing it right.
Upload. Add hashtags:
#brainrot #bombardirocrocodilo #tralalerotralala #aiweirdness #motionize
Then sit back and rot the internet’s collective brain.
🔥 Examples that went viral
Let’s break down what made some brainrot memes blow up:
🐊 Bombardiro Crocodilo
Military crocodile flies through the sky while yelling “Io sono la macchina del destino!”
→ 5M+ views. Why? A mix of absurd confidence and weird visuals.
🦈 Tralalero Tralala
A shark with human shoes spins in slow-mo while the voice says “Tralala… E BOOM.”
→ Massively shared. Perfect timing + simple sound = viral magic.
🧅 Tung tung tung tung tung Sahur
Originally inspired by real-life Sahur drummers during Ramadan, this character has been fully embraced by brainrot culture.
→ Both funny and scary.
💸 Can you make money with this?
Short answer: Yes, but don’t quit your day job just yet.
Long answer: It depends how hard you ride the wave.
Here are a few ways to squeeze some passive income from your brainrot career:
TikTok Creator Fund (not a lot, but something)
Affiliate links (e.g. link to Motionize in bio = $$)
Selling merch (imagine a hoodie with Patapim! on it)
Digital collectibles/NFTs if you’re feeling spicy
Sponsorships (brands love weird when it works)
Pro tip: If one of your memes pops off, milk it. Make sequels. Turn your creature into a series. People love recurring characters, especially the unhinged kind.
