The Jensen Huang AI memes of November 2026 fall into five formats: movie scene swaps (The Matrix, Spider-Man, Bollywood classics), music video swaps ("It Wasn't Me", "APT."), dance challenges (K-pop routines and the No Scrubs dance), real moments with new captions (an old clip of him dancing in Taipei), and viral moment parodies like the concert kiss cam. All the video formats are AI-made parodies, made without his consent.
If you want to make one, the dance and music formats are the ones you can do with your own face. That is how Oakgen's four Jensen Huang trend templates work: you upload your photo and you do the moves. They do not generate Jensen Huang and are not affiliated with or endorsed by NVIDIA or Jensen Huang.
The aircraft carrier dance, with you
The most absurd of the four viral formats, rebuilt around your photo.
The five formats at a glance
| Format | Example from the wave | Why it spread | Can you make your own version? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Movie scene swap | The Matrix parody, Spider-Man boardroom scene | The scene already tells the story | Only with yourself or an original character |
| Music video swap | "It Wasn't Me", "APT." | The lyrics do the joke | Yes, sing it yourself or use the car template |
| Dance challenge | "Trouble Maker", K-pop "NEON", No Scrubs | Easy to watch, easy to loop | Yes, the four Oakgen templates |
| Real clip, new caption | Old footage of him dancing at an employee event in Taipei | It is real, so people argue about it | Not with his footage. Use your own |
| Viral moment parody | Concert kiss cam remake | Recycles a meme everyone knows | Only with consenting people |
1. Movie scene swaps
These cast Huang in a scene whose plot mirrors the news. Business Insider called out a Matrix parody with Donald Trump as Morpheus (Business Insider, November 13, 2026). The Hindustan Times described the same Matrix parody and a Spider-Man (2002) remake in which a board removes a CEO from his own company (Hindustan Times, November 13, 2026). The two outlets give different view counts for the Matrix clip, so we do not repeat either.
In India, users on X recreated Bollywood scenes, including one from the 2002 film Raaz (The Indian Express, November 12, 2026). Firstpost covered the same wave on video (Firstpost on YouTube, November 12, 2026). YouTube autocomplete on November 13 suggested "jensen huang meme bollywood" and "jensen huang memes hindi."
Why it works: the audience already knows the scene, so the swap is the whole joke.
The problem: movie footage and dialogue are copyrighted, and swapping a real person into them is a deepfake of that person.
2. Music video swaps
Fast Company counted an AI "It Wasn't Me" video with several tech CEOs and an "APT." remake by November 10 (Fast Company, November 10, 2026). The joke lives in the lyrics: a song of denial, a song about a party.
Your version: sing a song yourself. The car singing template gives you the viral car format with your face. Or write your own lyrics and use a lip-sync tool with your own voice.
3. Dance challenges
Korea JoongAng Daily described an AI clip of Huang dancing to the 2011 K-pop song "Trouble Maker" (Korea JoongAng Daily, November 11, 2026). Seoul Economic Daily added a version of the "NEON" dance challenge (Seoul Economic Daily, November 12, 2026). On Instagram, the four reels Oakgen is turning into templates belong to this family: the No Scrubs dance, the car clip, the missed train dance and the aircraft carrier dance.
Why it works: dance loops. People rewatch the beat drop, and the absurd setting (a carrier deck, a train platform) does the storytelling.
Your version: this is the format built for you. Upload your photo to the No Scrubs, car, missed train or aircraft carrier template and the person in your photo does the moves.
4. Real clips with new captions
Not everything in the wave is AI. WION reported that an old clip of Huang dancing on stage at an employee celebration in Taipei resurfaced with new captions (WION, November 9, 2026). YouTube autocomplete shows "jensen huang dancing in taiwan" as a search.
This mix of real and fake is why so many viewers ask whether a clip is real. The Straits Times made the same point (The Straits Times, November 13, 2026). Label AI as AI, and do not caption real footage with claims it does not show.
5. Viral moment parodies
The concert kiss cam remake recycled a 2025 meme with Huang swapped in (WION and Korea JoongAng Daily, above). It worked because everyone remembered the original.
The problem: these always involve a second real person. Leave them out.
Why the wave was so big
Three things stacked up:
- A famous, recognizable face and look. The leather jacket is visual shorthand. Our post on why the leather jacket meme works covers it.
- An irony everyone gets. The CEO of the company whose chips power AI video became AI video's favourite subject, a point Business Insider and the Hindustan Times both make.
- Cheap, fast tools. A clip that once needed an effects team now takes a photo and a prompt. That is also why consent and labels matter more.
What not to copy
Seoul Economic Daily reported a fake "interview" of a family member that is an AI deepfake, and noted there is no evidence the person ever said those words (Seoul Economic Daily, November 12, 2026). That is not a meme. Do not make fake statements, do not involve family members, and do not make anything sexual. The rules are in is it legal to make AI videos of a real CEO.
Miss the train, not the beat
The cleanest joke in the wave. One photo, the platform dance, an AI label.
How we gathered this
We read the news reports listed in the sources and checked YouTube and TikTok autocomplete on November 13, 2026. We do not link to the meme posts themselves, and we do not name the creators of the four Instagram reels Oakgen turned into templates. We did not make any of the memes described here.
