What is the coaches Thriller video?

It is an AI parody where college football coaches come "back from the dead" and dance Michael Jackson's Thriller on a blue-lit stage at night.

The Burner (@theburnerfromhe11) posted it on TikTok on October 26, 2026; by October 28 it had about 205,000 views (TikTok). The same account made the AI Tiny Desk coaches parody, which passed 2.7 million views.

Why does the Coaches Thriller video cost $19.99?

It costs $19.99 because it is the full 18-second clip, longer than our usual videos, and making longer videos costs us more.

Signed in with a credit pack? It uses 20 credits instead of 10. You only pay once, with no subscription.

Who do I become in the video?

You become the coach in the red zip jacket and headset who leads the dance in front and gets the close-ups.

The other coaches, the stage and every move stay as in the clip. One clear photo of your face is enough.
