How to Make Your Own Italian Brainrot Video in 5 Steps

So, you've fallen victim to the Italian Brainrot aesthetic—flashing lights, eurobeat, Silvio Berlusconi GIFs, and chaotic captions in Comic Sans. You want to make your own? Molto bene. Here's how to rot... creatively.

🛠 Step 1: Choose Your Base Footage

You’ll need:

  • Old Eurovision performances
  • 2000s Italian commercials
  • Mario Kart gameplay
  • Someone yelling “Mamma mia!” in poor resolution

Use websites like archive.org, YouTube, or download TV news bloopers with Italian subtitles.

🎵 Step 2: Pick the Right Soundtrack

Your audio should feel like a European nightclub in 2003.

Best picks:

  • Gigi D’Agostino – “L’Amour Toujours”
  • Eiffel 65 – “Blue”
  • Darude – “Sandstorm” (if you want chaos)
  • AI voice saying “Gnocchi downloaded”

Optional: Layer it over distorted Windows XP startup sounds.

💻 Step 3: Deep Fry the Video

Editing tools:

  • CapCut (mobile): for mobile-friendly chaos
  • Adobe Premiere or After Effects: for full rot
  • VEED.IO or Kapwing: free and browser-based

Tips:

  • Increase contrast to 300%
  • Add JPEG artifacts and glitch effects
  • Rotate text at random angles
  • Overlay spinning spaghetti emoji

📣 Step 4: Add Comic Sans Captions

What to say?

  • “My brain after 3 days of gnocchi”
  • “Italian WiFi hitting different”
  • “Me watching Berlusconi explain anime”

Add them in Comic Sans or Impact font with bright outlines.

🚀 Step 5: Upload and Let the Rot Spread

Export your video in 9:16 format for TikTok or Reels. Use tags like:
