How it works
How do I make the Bad Times trend video with my own photo?
Upload one photo of yourself and get a 10-second vertical kitchen rant: you grab your head, wag a finger with a hand on your hip, push both palms at the camera, lean right into the lens and finish with your arms folded. Post it with the Bad Times sound on TikTok; the video itself comes with an AI-made beat, not the song.
- Add your photo
Upload one sharp photo. One person, waist up, arms in the photo. No sign-in, no password and no app: it all happens on this page.
- The AI does the moves
Head in both hands → Hand on hip, finger wagging → Both palms up: stop → Right into the lens → Arms folded, chin away
- Post it like the meme
Caption it with the smallest thing that set you off.

Price, refunds, limits and tips
- You need
- One sharp photo. One person, waist up, arms in the photo. JPG, PNG or WebP. Nothing else: no prompt to write, no editing.
- Who can be in it
- You or other adults who agreed. No pets in this one.
- You get
- A 10 to 10-second MP4 (9:16) up to 1080p, with a Latin pop beat, a sigh and muffled ranting, made by the AI (not the song), no watermark, usually in 2 to 5 minutes.
- Price
- A 10-second 720p video on Seedance 2.0 Mini is $4.99 on its own, one payment. With credits it uses 20 credits (credits from $9.99), or subscribe.
- Limits
- 10 seconds, one handheld shot in a kitchen made by the AI. Your mouth moves but there are no clear words, and the song isn't in it: add the Bad Times sound when you post. Fast hands can blur a little. Adults only, one person per photo.
What is the Bad Times meme?
Bad Times is a telling-off set to the song "Bad Times" by Imael Angel: someone in their kitchen rants at whoever is filming. @benandzara's version on August 30, 2026 passed 46 million plays; by October people were making AI versions with huskies and cats, and CapCut templates from late October put anyone in the kitchen from a photo.
Best photo for a Bad Times video
One person, waist up, face clear and well lit. Your clothes stay as they are in the photo.
Post it like the meme
Try one of these:
- me when someone finishes the milk and puts it back
- I said what I said
- the leftovers had my name on them

FAQ
Bad Times AI FAQ
Is the Bad Times song in the video?
No. The video comes with an AI-made beat and muffled ranting. Most people post it on TikTok and pick the Bad Times sound there, so the song plays over your rant.
What photo works best for the rant?
A clear photo of you from the waist up, facing the camera. The hands do most of the acting, so a photo where your arms aren't cut off helps.
Do I have to be in a kitchen?
No. Your photo can be taken anywhere: the kitchen is made by the AI, with your face, hair and clothes from the photo.
Can I make my dog do the Bad Times rant?
Not in this template; it takes one photo of an adult. For your cat or dog, try Paws At You or Cat on Ultra Bee.
Is Turnly an app, a filter or the official Bad Times maker?
No. Turnly is an independent website, not made by or affiliated with the creators of the Bad Times meme, TikTok or CapCut. There's no app or live filter: you upload a photo in your browser and get a new AI video. It never uses or edits the original clip.
