The No Scrubs AI Trend, and Where the Jensen Huang AI Version Fits

The No Scrubs AI trend recasts the late-1990s No Scrubs music video by TLC with new people: a white spaceship-style set, close-ups sung straight to the lens and three dancers in a row. The Jensen Huang AI version is one of the best-known takes, with a grey-haired lead in a black leather jacket between two backup dancers. This page explains what the trend is, what this particular clip adds and what Oakgen's template keeps when it puts your photos in.

What the trend is and what this version adds

01

The look it copies

No Scrubs was released by TLC in 1999 as the lead single from FanMail. Its video is known for a glossy white set with chrome details, low camera angles and three performers in a row. The AI trend copies that look and its kind of shots, not the original footage.

02

What makes the Jensen Huang AI version different

Instead of three singers, the lead in the middle is a grey-haired man in glasses and a black leather jacket, flanked by two backup dancers. He also gets solo shots the trio routine does not have: pressing his arms against a chrome tunnel, crouching in a taller tunnel and dancing out of a chrome doorway.

03

It is a parody, not real footage

The clip is AI-made. It is not real footage of Jensen Huang, he did not make or endorse it, and it is not connected to NVIDIA, TLC or their label. Oakgen's template does not reuse his likeness: the lead in your video is the person in your photo.

04

The 18-shot edit

The reference runs 23 seconds: an opening close-up of the lead, wide and low-angle trio dances, a solo close-up for each dancer, the chrome tunnel and doorway shots for the lead and a final crouch in front of the set. Your version keeps the same cuts at the same moments.

05

What your three photos change

Each photo sets one person's face, hair, build and outfit. Nobody is dressed in the reference performers' outfits unless their own photo shows something like it, and the giant chrome lettering behind the dancers is asked for as plain chrome shapes.

06

Sound

Your video keeps the reference clip's soundtrack, the No Scrubs chorus. The song is never sent to the video model; it is put back on the finished file. Check each platform's music rules before you post it.

07

Try it

    Pick who stands where

    Choose the Lead, who gets the opening close-up, the tunnel and the doorway, then the Left dancer and the Right dancer. Use a head-and-shoulders photo for each, face forward, hair fully visible and no hat. Everyone pictured should have agreed to appear.

  2. 02

    Choose the quality

    Pick 720p or 1080p and review the quote. It covers the full 23-second video with all three people replaced.

  3. 03

    Check the close-ups and post

    Watch each close-up, the tunnel shots and the group dances, then download your landscape 4:3 MP4 with the sound and label it as AI-made when you post.

01

Your face, not his

The template follows the parody clip's moves and camera, but the person in the lead comes from your photo: face, hair, build and outfit. The grey-haired lead, his glasses and his leather jacket are not kept, and no one's likeness is copied from the reference.

02

The full music-video edit

23 seconds and 18 shots: wide and low-angle trio dances in a white studio, a solo close-up for each of you sung to the camera, the lead pressing against the walls of a chrome shaft and dancing out of a chrome doorway.

03

The chorus stays

Your video keeps the reference clip's soundtrack, the chorus of No Scrubs by TLC. The song is not sent to the video model; mouths follow the singing in the reference clip and the sound is put back at the end.

04

A parody, labelled as one

The preview is an AI-made parody, not real footage of Jensen Huang. The trend is not affiliated with or endorsed by NVIDIA, Jensen Huang, TLC or their label, and the giant chrome letters in the set are rendered as plain chrome shapes in your version.

Photo tips

  • One person per photo
  • Face forward, hair visible, no hat
  • Put the boldest friend in the lead
  • Your own outfits stay
  • Use photos of people who agreed
  • Label it as an AI parody

Questions & answers

What is the Jensen Huang AI No Scrubs trend?

An AI-made parody music video in which a lead who looks like NVIDIA's Jensen Huang dances to the chorus of No Scrubs by TLC with two backup dancers, in a white studio with chrome arches, a chrome tunnel and a chrome doorway. Oakgen's template keeps the moves, the camera and the cuts and puts the three people from your photos in the three places, with YOUR photo in the lead.

Is the preview real footage of Jensen Huang?

No. The preview is an AI-made parody clip, not real footage of Jensen Huang, and he did not make, endorse or appear in it. Oakgen is not affiliated with or endorsed by NVIDIA or Jensen Huang, and your video does not show him: the lead is the person in your photo.

Is this the No Scrubs AI trend?

Yes, it is one version of it. The No Scrubs AI trend recasts TLC's 1999 No Scrubs music video, with its white spaceship-style set, close-ups to the lens and a trio dancing in a row. The Jensen Huang AI version put a grey-haired lead in a black leather jacket in the middle. Search terms people use include No Scrubs AI trend, No Scrubs AI dance, TLC No Scrubs AI video and Jensen Huang AI dance. Oakgen has one tool for this clip, Jensen Huang No Scrubs.

What song is it?

No Scrubs by TLC, released in 1999 as the lead single from the album FanMail. The reference clip's soundtrack is the song's chorus, and your video keeps that soundtrack. Oakgen does not swap in a different song, and the song is not licensed by Oakgen for your own posts, so check the platform's music rules when you share it.

Is the song sent to the AI model?

No. The video model does not accept well-known recordings, so no audio is sent. The mouths follow the singing in the reference clip, and the original soundtrack is put back on the finished video.

Do I need three photos?

Yes. The Lead, the Left dancer and the Right dancer each need a photo, because the template replaces all three people in the reference, so none of them is kept in your video.

Who gets the most screen time?

The Lead. They sing the opening close-up, dance in the middle of every group shot and have three solo shots: arms out against the walls of a chrome shaft, filmed from above, a wide crouch in a taller tunnel and dancing out of a chrome doorway. The Left dancer gets two solo close-ups and the Right dancer one.

Do we have to wear a leather jacket?

No. There is no costume. Each person wears the outfit from their own photo, with their own hair and accessories, instead of the reference lead's black leather jacket or the backup dancers' outfits.

Why does the preview only show the lead?

The preview on this page is a short cut of the lead's solo shots from the AI parody: the opening close-up, the chrome shaft, the taller tunnel and the doorway. Your finished video is the full 23-second edit, with your two dancers in the group dances and in their own close-ups.

Does the set say TLC?

In the reference clip the giant chrome sculpture behind the dancers spells the band's name. Your version asks for it as plain abstract chrome shapes with no readable letters or logo, and the preview on this page does not show it.

Can I put a pet in it?

Yes. A clear photo of a dog or cat works in any of the three places and dances with its own body, fur and markings. The close-ups are where a pet reads best; check the hands and paws in the quick group shots before you post.

Whose photos can I use?

Your own, or photos of people who agreed to be in the video. Do not upload photos of celebrities, executives or anyone who has not consented, and label AI videos clearly when you share them.

How long is the video?

23 seconds in landscape 4:3, with 18 shots cut to the song, ready to post or crop for Reels, TikTok and Shorts.

Is the preview generated by Oakgen?

No. It is the AI parody reference clip the trend comes from, used as the motion and timing reference, not an Oakgen result. Its three performers are never reused.

How much does it cost?

1,221 credits per 720p video. The quote covers the complete 23-second video with all three people replaced. Check it before generating.
