What does “kupi” mean, and what else is the trend called?
Updated:
Short answer
“Kupi” is Russian for “buy”, and the full name quotes a line from “Bare Minimum” about buying a hugely famous phone. The gag is the swagger of a screen that keeps opening, a fur coat and a hotel suite. People also search foldable phone dance, hotel phone dance or bare minimum dance.
Other names
- iPhone Kupi Dance AI
- Foldable phone dance
- Hotel phone dance
- Bare minimum dance
What it says
The joke is swagger: each time the screen grows, the attitude grows with it. The name was borrowed from the song, and the whole thing is fan-made. Tip Toe AI has no tie to the artists, the creator or any phone company, and the device in your video is generic with no logo.
Questions people ask
Is it an advert?
No. Fans made it, and the phone in our video is a made-up folding one without a logo.
Why a hotel suite?
The viral clips are set in one, so it is our starting room.
Who does the dancing?
The person in your picture: you, or a grown-up friend who said yes.

Add one photo and you're the star who unfolds the giant screen, dances with it and walks out. Nothing to subscribe to, and the finished video has no watermark.
