What’s Blowing Up This Week

These 3 viral videos show exactly what works in the current AI-content landscape and how simple ideas, executed well, still win big.

Niche: Consumer (Cat Content)

What’s Going On:
Cats dressed in knitted dragon hoodies… changing colors… different breeds… different locations.
That’s it. But it’s so visually unique that you can’t stop watching.

📈 600k+ views in 5 days

Why It Works:

  • Familiar format (cute cats) meets unusual execution (dragon outfit, scene variations)

  • Scroll-stopper visuals

  • The kind of “aww” content people share in DMs without thinking

Tools to make this:

  •  Dzine for Image & video gen

Niche: Famous Character Parody

What’s Going On:
This video predicts who the new pope of 2025 will be, Luis Antonio Tagle tracing his life from childhood to modern day in stylized AI visuals.

📈 11M views in 4 days

Why It Works:

  • Rides a trending topic (future pope)

  • Creates fake history in a believable cinematic timeline

  • Keeps you curious: “What’s next?”

  • Feels like news, but it's entertainment

Tools to make this:

  • ChatGPT for Images.

  • Dzine can use “frames” with multiple video models.

Niche: Narration / Self-Improvement

What’s Going On:
Classic “listicle” format: “7 Smart Ways To Make People Take You Seriously”
Overlay visuals + calm narrator voice = smooth viewer experience. Consistently pulls views, format is timeless and proves it still works.

Why It Works:

  • Self-help content never goes out of style

  • Makes viewer question themselves → triggers emotion

Very low barrier to entry for creators.
