You open with your face buried in both hands.
You look up like you can’t believe what you just heard, one hand on your hip.
A flat palm goes straight at the lens.
A long eye-roll that says not today.
On the drop you charge at the camera and slap a hand over the lens.
The clearer the photo, the more the video looks like you or your pet.

The Bad Times trend is a single-shot phone video, filmed in a home kitchen, where someone tells off whoever is filming to the Bad Times song. Head in hands, a glare, an eye-roll and a stop hand, then they charge at the camera and slap a hand over the lens.
A creator lip-synced the song at whoever was filming her, all attitude. Then people handed the routine to their dogs and cats, and it took off a second time.
It’s a reply to anything you’re tired of hearing. A pet doing it with real paws is the version everyone shares.
