Background

What is the Bad Times trend?

The Bad Times trend is a short dance set to the song "Bad Times". The routine plays like a tiny drama: you clutch your head, push your palms out, face-palm with a hand on your hip, shake your hands, then lunge at the camera and point straight into it.

It spread across TikTok, Reels and Shorts in 2026, and AI versions followed fast. Creators make cats, dogs and babies hit the same moves, which is why Bad Times AI clips are everywhere in pet feeds.

The Bad Times AI video generator on FYPNova has two templates. One keeps the gray kitchen and the original routine and swaps in the person from your photo. The other keeps the bright kitchen and the upright dog dance and swaps in your pet. Both are made with Seedance 2.5.
