Description: Why does a witch glide past a car on a broom? Follow the September 2026 CapCut templates, the Spanish caption that named the trend, and its Halloween remixes.
“My Ride Is Here” is a 2026 short-video trend in which someone on a flying broom catches up with a car, glances through its window and speeds away. The flight is generated or altered with AI, but the rider behaves as though the broom is a perfectly normal lift home. The contrast between magical transport and commuter-level indifference is the punchline.
Where did it begin—and who named it?
The dates describe different milestones. According to MakeViral's dated survey, creators in Vietnam were sharing one-photo CapCut broom templates around September 22, 2026. They placed riders among scooters and traffic. That is an early documented cluster, not proof of the first broom video ever made.
On September 27, TikTok creator @rora_dd posted a car-window version captioned in Spanish, “¡Ya llegó mi transporte!” (“My ride has arrived!”). The English name “My Ride Is Here” grew around that idea. A Portuguese-language tutorial followed on September 28, with more English-language how-tos later. The visual recipe, the caption and the popular name therefore have overlapping but distinct histories.
What actually happens in the clip?
The familiar sequence is a mundane view from a passenger window; a broom rider draws level with the car; a knowing look at the camera; then a ridiculous airborne exit. An October 6 variation by @strangeai puts a witch near a police sobriety checkpoint. An October 11 Instagram reel by @aiman_nazarovna uses a forest road and an AI-assisted takeoff. They are documented variations, not scenes from one official original.
The trick is deadpan escalation. If the rider yelled a spell, the scene would be a fantasy skit. Instead, the body language says, “Traffic looks bad; I'll take my own ride.” A caption about missing the last train would fit the format, although that is an illustrative suggestion, not a quotation from a real post.
How widespread was it?
MakeViral reported 6,308 TikTok videos and 17.7 million views under #myrideishere as of October 12, 2026; its count for #broomridingtrend was 5,907 videos and 15.3 million views. Its snapshot put @rora_dd's September 27 video at roughly 540,000 plays and @strangeai's October 6 variation near 680,000. These are attributed third-party snapshots, not fresh TikTok analytics independently retrieved for this article. Overlapping hashtags cannot be summed into a global audience figure.
How do people make their own?
A creator supplies a photo to a CapCut-style template or an image-to-video workflow and places themselves—or, with permission, another person—on the broom. Ordinary clothes strengthen the commute joke; a dark outfit turns it into a Halloween gag. AI disclosure rules still apply, and someone else's likeness should only be used with consent. There is no single mandatory soundtrack across the documented versions.
The takeaway
This isn't really a joke about learning to fly. It's a joke about treating flight like catching the bus: one quick glance through the window, and the broom is off to beat rush hour.
