Updated:
Short answer
Copy the prompt below into Kling, attach a photo of your driver as the reference image, and generate. It lists the scene, one camera setup and the four spoken lines in order. It names nobody from the original clip and no vehicle brand. Expect to try more than once, or use MimicZip.

Copy this prompt
Image-to-video, 9:16, about 10 seconds. Reference image 1 is the DRIVER. Keep the DRIVER's face, hair or fur, skin tone, body shape and clothing exactly as in the image. Never turn the DRIVER into someone else. If the DRIVER is an animal, keep its species; it sits upright in the driver's seat with its front paws on the steering wheel and talks with comically expressive mouth movements. Scene: it looks like it was filmed on a phone by someone fishing at a quiet pond. A grassy bank, a calm country pond in the afternoon, a dirt track, tall trees. A plain white pickup truck is stopped on the track with the driver's window rolled down. The truck is generic: no badges, no logos, no readable plate. Camera: one handheld phone camera at standing height, a few metres from the driver's window, medium close-up through the open window, slight natural shake, no cuts. The person holding the phone stays off camera. Beats: 1. The DRIVER leans toward the window, frowning, and asks in a gruff voice: "Who said you could fish here?" 2. An off-camera young man answers, a bit unsure: "I thought this was state property." 3. The DRIVER pauses, squints in total disbelief and repeats: "State?" 4. The DRIVER flicks one hand toward the road and says firmly: "Hit the road, dude." 5. The DRIVER keeps a stern, unimpressed stare at the camera. The DRIVER's lips move in sync with their own lines. Audio: only the spoken lines plus quiet outdoor sound: birds, a light breeze, the truck engine idling. No music. Photorealistic, no text, no subtitles, no logos, no watermark.
How to use it
- Attach your Driver photo as reference image 1.
- Leave real names out. The prompt describes a generic driver and a generic white truck, so nobody from the original clip is imitated.
- Speech and lip sync depend on the tool and the model version. If a line is dropped, run again, and check the length and aspect ratio your tool supports.
Questions people ask
Why does the prompt not name the man from the clip?
Naming a real person can be refused by tools and can infringe their rights. The prompt describes a generic driver instead. This page is independent and not affiliated with the original poster.
Will the result match the meme exactly?
Not exactly. Faces, voices and timing change with the tool, the model version and your photo. Treat the prompt as a starting point.
Do I have to write a prompt on this site?
No. MimicZip uses a fixed scene, so you only add a photo and press the make button.
