§ 01 / What it is
What is the Bad Times AI Video Generator?
Bad Times AI is an online video generator for the viral Bad Times dance trend. Upload one photo and it renders a 15-second vertical video of that person or pet doing the full routine in the place from the photo, with the original sound already on it.
The trend is simple: someone is clearly having a bad day, and they dance about it. Head in hands, hand on hip, palms out like "no, stop", then they march into the camera and sing it to your face. Bad Times AI does the dancing for you, so the only thing you need is a photo.
- 01
One photo is enough
No video of you dancing, no green screen. A single photo of one person or one pet is all Bad Times AI needs.
- 02
No prompts to write
Every move, beat and camera push is already mapped from the trend. You pick a dance and press Generate.
- 03
Original sound on it
The Bad Times sound is added to the finished MP4 and lines up with the moves. Nothing to sync afterwards.

People and pets
The Pet dance puts your dog or cat on its hind legs, with its own fur, markings and collar.

Your face, your room
