What is the Bad Times family video?

Families turned BAD TIMES into a car bit: the child in the back sings every word with full drama while the parent in front stares ahead, unbothered — until both shout the last lines together. This version follows a father-and-daughter take of it.

Add one photo of you and your child — the adult first — or one photo each. Your faces, hair, clothes and ages come from your photos. Only upload your own child, as their parent or guardian. Premium makes the whole 30-second take; Balanced makes its first 15 seconds for fewer credits.

Photos that work best

Faces clearly visible

Eyes and mouth sharp and toward the camera, good light, no sunglasses. The lip-sync needs a face it can read.

Parent first

Photo 1 is the parent in front, photo 2 the child behind. In a photo of both, the adult plays the parent.

Good light

Daylight or a bright room. Dark photos blur faces and lose the likeness.

Only your own child

Upload only your own child, as their parent or legal guardian. Never anyone else's child.
