Smalltown Boy Characters: Any Two, Screaming Then Dancing

What is the Smalltown Boy characters trend?
The Smalltown Boy characters trend is the AI dance meme set to Bronski Beat's "Smalltown Boy" with anything but pets in the two roles: one character rushes the camera, clutches its head and screams, the second does the same, and then the pair dance the same 80s routine side by side before lunging at the lens. On TikTok the pairs are superheroes, TV couples, vampires and food with faces; the format is the same every time.
Upload one picture per character, keep the default or tap one of five character templates, and the four beats are already written: first scream, second scream, the dance, the lunge. For two cats or two dogs there are the Smalltown Boy cat dance and the Smalltown Boy dog dance; for a cat and a dog, the Smalltown Boy AI homepage.

What's in one characters clip
Your two pictures become dancer one and dancer two in a 12-second vertical clip. Each clip is paid once, the three- and five-clip packs cost less per clip, nothing renews, and a run that fails doesn't use one up.
The robot's close-up
Goggle eyes, bolts and chipped purple paint fill the frame on its turn at the lens. A front-on picture of your toy gets you this shot.
Dolls in sync
Two crochet dolls on the kitchen table, arms swinging across their bodies in the same 80s step.
Off the page
A watercolour portrait steps off the sketchbook as a real-looking girl; the pencil cat next to her stays a sketch and keeps up.
How to make Smalltown Boy characters dance
Two pictures and a few minutes get you your own Smalltown Boy characters clip.
Take a picture of each character
The toy on a plain table, the doll held up against a wall, the drawing flat on the desk. Its face and body in frame.
Pick who screams first
Slot one opens the clip, slot two answers. Then keep the default or tap a template: plushies, crochet dolls, knight and alien, wood robots or drawings.
Post it with the sound
Download the clip: it already has its own 80s synth beat. Want the song itself? Pick the Smalltown Boy sound in TikTok or Reels and line the first scream up with the falsetto.
Which two to cast in your Smalltown Boy characters clip
The pair someone in your chat will recognise in the first second.
Your kid's two favourite toys
The bear that goes everywhere and the one that lives on the shelf, finally dancing together. Show them before bedtime.
Two drawings from the fridge
Snap the crayon dog and the crayon self-portrait and watch the family chat lose it.
The figures on your desk
The bobblehead and the little figure that have stood next to your monitor for years. Today they finally move.
Things you made
The doll you crocheted, the robot you built from scrap. A clip people stop scrolling for, and a reason to post your craft again.
Smalltown Boy characters FAQ
The song, which characters work and how to make your Smalltown Boy characters clip.
"Smalltown Boy" by Bronski Beat, released in 1984. Your clip comes back with its own 80s synth beat instead of the recording, so add the Smalltown Boy sound in TikTok or Reels when you post.
Yes. The trend started with cats and moved on to every kind of pair, and this page is set up for that: a toy, a doll, a costume, a figurine or a drawing in each slot. Two characters of different kinds work too.
This page is made for characters: toys, dolls, figurines, puppets and drawings. A real face in a photo can trip the model's real-person check and stop the run, so for you and a friend, a drawing of the two of you or a pair of dolls dressed like you is the way in. Want armour? The knight template puts it on dancer one.
Twelve seconds, vertical 9:16. That fits both screams, the side-by-side dance and the lunge at the camera, which is the whole routine.
$9.99 for one clip, $19.99 for three and $29.99 for five. Paid once with no subscription, and a failed run doesn't use up a clip.
