Scene 01Hold on
Paws up, hands on hips — the routine starts in the same kitchen as the original.

Every point, shrug and “excuse me?” lands on the same beat as the original video.
Scene 03In your face
The lunge at the camera — the shot everyone screenshots.
About the trend
What is the Bad Times trend?
The Bad Times trend is built on “Bad Times” by Imael Angel, a song released in March 2026 that took off on TikTok that September. The format that made it spread is a routine by creator @bouuhyachaka: she acts the song out as a heated argument with whoever is filming — head in her hands, a raised “hold on” hand, pointing and lunging at the lens.
In October the AI versions took over: the same routine performed by huskies, cats and toddlers. This page makes that version from one photo. A video model finds the performer in the original video and puts your subject in her place, keeping the kitchen, the camera movement and the sound, so the moves land exactly on the beat.
Photos with the whole face — or the whole pet — in frame, in good light, work best. Animals stand up on their hind legs for the routine; babies and small pets are scaled up to fill the spot.
Questions
Before you film
How do I make the Bad Times AI video?
Upload one photo of your pet, your baby or yourself and press film. About two minutes later you get the 15-second Bad Times routine performed by your subject, with the original sound, as a vertical MP4.
How much does it cost?
Each Bad Times video uses 20 credits. Packs are paid once with no subscription: $4.99 for 2 videos (first purchase only), $9.90 for 6 videos or $24.90 for 17 videos. If a video fails, the credits go back automatically.
Does it work with my dog or cat?
Yes — that is what most people make. The example on this page is a stock photo of a husky. A clear photo where the face and body are visible gives the best result.
Does the video have the Bad Times song?
It keeps the sound of the original video, so it is ready to post. You can also add the Bad Times sound on TikTok or Reels before you post.
Is “Bad Times” an AI song?
It is credited to Imael Angel, and the artist’s own profiles describe the project as made with AI music tools from lyrics she writes. The trend itself is the dance-argument routine, not the song.
Can I use someone else’s photo?
Only of someone who agreed to be in the video. No public figures or celebrities, and no photos of strangers.
