Video trend
The Bad Times clip already tells a little story: a pet strikes some dramatic poses, then marches up to the camera and argues with whoever is filming. A caption only has to say what the argument is about. Here are caption formats that build on that, plus the cover frame, text placement, sound and labeling for your post on TikTok, Reels or Shorts.
Give the close-up a reason. "When I say the walk is cancelled", "Me explaining why the last treat was mine", "The vet appointment discussion" or "POV: you moved my bed" all work because the dancer looks like it is making a case to the camera. Keep it to one line; the dance carries the rest.
The opening reads as despair, then refusal: paws on the head, then the stop push. Captions like "Monday at 7 am" or "Hearing the word bath" land on the poses before the argument even starts, and set up the walk to the camera as the punchline.
Use the paws-up frame at about 1.5 seconds as the cover: the whole pet is visible and the pose is clear in a small thumbnail. For on-screen text, the ceiling and the top of the kitchen above the dancer's head stay mostly empty until about 10 seconds; after that the face fills the frame, so keep text short and near the top edge.
Your video comes with the original sound, "BAD TIMES" by Imael Angel, timed to the moves. Posting with that sound keeps the stop push and the final stare on the beat and lets people who know the trend recognise it from the first second.
Each run casts one dancer, so a household with several pets can make one video each and post them as a series, or cut them back to back. The template keeps the same kitchen and timing in every run, so the clips line up when placed side by side.
Say in the caption or with the platform's AI label that the video is AI-made, and use photos only of your own pets or of people who agreed to appear. If you post the reference next to your version, label which clip is yours.
Add a photo for the dancer.
Upload one clear photo of your pet, or of yourself or someone who agreed to appear. A full-body photo with the face, ears, legs and paws visible works best, and the face needs to be sharp for the close-up.
Choose 480p, 720p or 1080p and review the quote. It includes the full video, your photo preparation and three scene preparations.
Watch that the face, coat and markings stay your pet's when it leans into the lens and that its paws stay paws, then download your portrait MP4 with the original song.
One photo casts the dancer. A dog stays a dog and a cat stays a cat, with its own face, coat, markings and tail, standing upright on its hind legs. A person can take the role too and does the routine with hands and feet.
Paws pressed to the head, paws thrown up, a paw on the hip, the palms-out push, then the walk up to the lens and the close-up argument with a paw pointed at the camera.
All 20 seconds in one continuous take, timed to "BAD TIMES" by Imael Angel, from the first pose to the stare into the lens as the beat drops back in.
The preview is a recreation of the trend with a dog. It is the motion and timing reference, not an Oakgen result.
It is a 20-second portrait clip of a dog standing upright on its hind legs in a bright kitchen and dancing to "BAD TIMES" by Imael Angel: paws pressed to the head, paws thrown up, a paw on the hip, a palms-out push, then a walk right up to the camera to argue at close range, pointing a paw at the lens, before it steps back and leans in for a stare. Oakgen's template puts your pet, or you, in the dog's place and keeps the kitchen, the moves and the song.
After the song. Cats, dogs and people all post the routine as the Bad Times trend, and searches such as "bad times dog trend" and "bad times ai dance" show up as suggestions. Oakgen calls the template Bad Times Dance.
"BAD TIMES" by Imael Angel, identified from the audio. Your video keeps that original soundtrack. Nobody in the video sings or lip-syncs; the dancer only dances and gestures.
Yes. The template keeps the uploaded animal's species, coat and markings and has it stand upright on its hind legs for the whole routine. Bodies very different from a tall, long-legged dog vary more, and paws reaching toward the lens are the hardest moment, so review the video before sharing.
Yes. A person takes the dancer's place and does the same poses and the close-up argument with hands and feet, in the same kitchen. Use your own photo or one of someone who agreed to appear.
The first 20 seconds of the sound the trend uses: the beat under the poses, then the vocal hook from about 11 seconds while the dancer argues at close range, ending as the beat drops back in. Longer posts of the trend carry on with more of the routine; this template stops at that drop.
Your own pet, yourself, or a person who agreed to be in the video. Do not upload photos of celebrities, public figures or anyone who has not consented, and label AI videos clearly when you share them.
