For this demo, we're choosing the "Subject 3 Groovee" template.

Once you've picked your template, upload the Turkey cartoon image you made before, and hit Generate to create your animated video.

Part 3. Funny Turkey GIF Ideas to Try

If you're struggling to come up with something original for your Thanksgiving posts, we also have a few ideas for you:

1. Make a Thanksgiving/Turkey Pun

A funny turkey Thanksgiving GIF always hits harder with a smart pun. Keep it short and cheeky. You can play around with words like "gobble," "stuffed," or "feast."

For example:

  • "Too Cute to Cook"
  • "Zero clucks given."
  • "Gobble ‘til you wobble."

2. Create a Meme with a Turkey GIF

Memes are the language of the internet. So, if you plan to make your funny turkey GIF go viral, give it a funny caption that people can instantly relate to or sprinkle in a bit of dark Thanksgiving humor.

For example:

3. Create an Unhinged Turkey Animation with AI

If you want your turkey to steal the spotlight, make it go a little wild. You can find even more hilarious ideas in Filmora's AI Image to Video templates. Then, mix in sound effects, stickers, or funny captions.

4. Make a Cartoon Turkey Reaction GIF

A turkey GIF can also be a funny reaction you can drop anytime, whether you're feeling tired, confused, or totally done after the Thanksgiving dinner. Prepare a few expressive turkey poses and turn them into quick GIFs that express your current state.
