About

AI Rumpelstiltskin "Tip Toein' In My Jordans," also known as the Tip Toeing in My Jordans Rumpelstiltskin Meme, is a meme that combines an AI-generated video of the fantasy character Rumpelstiltskin dancing for a princess, generated in the style of a 1980s film, set to the song "TIP TOE WING IN MY JAWWDINZ" by Riff Raff.

The original AI video was collaboratively posted by the Stroinaya, Neuroferma and Anna Glinskaya Instagram pages in late August 2026. In late September 2026, the clip was then paired with the song and became a meme through early October 2026 on sites including TikTok and X / Twitter. As a meme, the video is typically paired with funny captions, or Rumpelstiltskin is replaced with another person or character using AI video tools.

The video also inspired confusion and misinformation as it spread in late 2026, with some believing it came from an old Russian film or the 1987 Rumpelstiltskin movie, while others arguing that it is AI-generated. The clip is confirmed to be AI.
