Quick answer

Starrd's Bombaclat Wallahi template recreates the viral food truck clip with you as the customer. From one photo, you stand at a Caribbean food truck on a rainy Brooklyn street with a tray of jerk chicken and argue with the chef inside: you can't believe a Palestinian chef is making Jamaican food ('Bombaclat, wallahi'), he dares you to try it, you promise the meanest dirty wine if it tastes like the Jamaican food in Brooklyn, and then you dance it in the truck and on the sidewalk. Your mouth lip-syncs your lines and stays shut while the off-camera chef talks, across all eight shots of the original, cut where it cuts. You keep your own face, hair and outfit, and pets work too. 25 seconds, vertical 9:16, Seedance 2.5, 480p, 250 credits (about $12.50). Contains explicit language.

One photo in, and out comes you as the customer in the viral "Bombaclat wallahi" food truck clip: the jerk chicken, the off-camera chef, the dare and the meanest dirty wine on the sidewalk. Every line lip-synced. Here it is:

  • Your own outfit. Face, hair and the clothes from your photo, down to the shoes.
  • The set. A Caribbean food truck on a rainy Brooklyn street, umbrellas going past, a tray of jerk chicken, plantains and cabbage.

What the Video Actually Is

@jacobberger97 posted the clip on October 26, 2026, captioned "Bombaclatt wallahi I can't believe the pop cultural impact this has had on internet culture". It passed 4.2 million plays, 500,000 likes and 50,000 saves in its first week.

He's at a Caribbean food truck in Brooklyn in the rain. "You're Arab? What are you doing making Jamaican food?" "I'm actually Palestinian." "Palestinian?" "Yes, sir." Then the line that named the trend, half Jamaican Patois and half Arabic: "Bombaclat, wallahi." He tells the chef he should be making shawarma, the chef tells him to try it and he'll think he's Jamaican, and he makes a promise: if it tastes like the Jamaican food he gets in Brooklyn, he'll do "the meanest dirty wine". It does. He does.

Why it suits AI: it's a perfect short comedy bit with one person on camera, and it lives on the delivery. One photo lets you deliver it, at a food truck you've never been to, with a dance you'd never do in public.

Your Look, Their Food Truck

  • Your own face, hair and outfit. Nobody gets the original's NYPD beanie or jacket.
  • Your own shoes. The two wide dance shots show you head to toe, so the full outfit comes along. If your photo stops at the waist, the rest is filled in to match.
  • Their truck. The bright green and yellow food truck, the rainy street and the jerk chicken, in every shot.
Pro Tip

A full-length photo, standing and facing the camera, works best: the close-ups need a clear face for the lip sync and the dance shots show your whole outfit. A loud outfit makes the dance land harder.

The Fastest Way

Bombaclat Wallahi

One photo, the whole food truck bit with the original audio, lip-synced, cut where the original cuts.

Try It

One photo, 250 credits (about $12.50), no prompt. It renders on Seedance 2.5 at 480p, vertical 9:16, 25 seconds.

Build It Yourself

1. Work out who says what. Transcribe the audio with word timings, then track the on-camera mouth frame by frame. His mouth moves on his own lines and holds still on the chef's, even when it hangs open, so each line can be assigned by mouth movement. English-only transcription drops the Patois and Arabic, so run the quiet gaps again in any language: that's where "Bombaclat, wallahi" is hiding.

2. Turn the clip into a depth map. Run it through a depth-estimation model (Depth Anything V2 works), with the contrast set per shot, and smooth the beanie down to a plain dome so your character doesn't inherit it. Leave the beard and jaw alone: the lip sync needs them.

3. Mute the off-camera voice, but only in the driver. Put the audio inside the depth video so the model hears the words to lip-sync, but silence the chef's lines in that copy. The model never sees your character's mouth paired with his voice. The final video keeps both voices.

4. Make one storyboard sheet of six moments. The counter, the hand to the forehead, the extreme close-up, the gloved hand with the tray, the promise and the dance, all generated from your photo at one food truck, with a depth-map sheet of the original framings as a layout guide.

The gloved-hand panel
A photorealistic still from a phone video at a Caribbean food truck on a rainy Brooklyn street: the person from reference image 1, wearing exactly the clothes from their photo, stands at the truck's steel counter while a hand in a black nitrile glove reaches in from the right edge offering a takeout tray of jerk chicken, rice, fried plantains and cabbage; they eye it, sceptical, mouth closed. Grey overcast light, wet reflections, a touch of grain. No text.

5. Drive it with Seedance 2.5. Feed the sheet, your photo and the depth video to a model that copies motion from a reference video (we recommend Seedance 2.5), with a timed shot list and the talking windows: when your mouth moves, and when it stays shut for the chef. Render it silent and lay the original audio back on at the end.

Common Mistakes

Letting the on-camera mouth say the chef's lines. If the driver has both voices, your character lip-syncs the chef too. Mute his lines in the driver.

Trusting English-only transcription. It skips "Bombaclat, wallahi", the most important line in the clip.

Driving with the raw clip. The original face, beanie and jacket come straight through. Use the depth map.

Cutting the window late. The clip cuts to a burger at 25.4 seconds. End at 25 and the bit finishes on the dance.

Who do I play?

The customer. The chef stays off camera like in the original: you hear his voice and see his gloved hand, and your mouth stays closed while he talks.

Yes. Your mouth matches every one of the customer's lines, including 'Bombaclat, wallahi', and stays shut on the chef's. You hear the original audio.

Do I keep my own outfit?
