As you scroll through the flawless feeds of Instagram influencers, it’s easy to overlook the behind-the-scenes effort that goes into capturing those seemingly effortless moments. A new comedic video shines a light on this reality, illustrating that “behind every stylish woman on Instagram” is often an “Instagram Husband” — and, let’s be honest, probably a nearby brick wall too.
Presented in a mockumentary style, the clip delves into the humorous struggles of these Instagram partners, whose main task is to snap those perfect #OOTD (Outfit of the Day) shots. The men introduce themselves and discuss their unique roles, revealing the challenges they face, like having to uninstall apps to free up space for more photos, or the constant pressure to be the first to comment on their partners’ posts. Surprisingly, this “job” spills over into their everyday lives as well. For instance:
- They often find themselves running late due to the time spent photographing shoes.
- “We used to savor our meals; now we photograph them instead.”
- “I’ve become essentially a human selfie stick.”
This hilarious video was uploaded on YouTube by The Humor Collective, a comedy group based in Missouri, and it quickly garnered over 2.5 million views shortly after its release. They even launched an Instagram Husbands Tumblr to support all the beleaguered partners out there, encouraging them to “seek help at InstagramHusband.com.” The site features a collection of amusing images and reflections on the challenges of being an Instagram Husband.
While the humor is tongue-in-cheek, it touches on a deeper truth: ten years ago, photographing your coffee or feet seemed absurd, yet now it’s a common practice. Social media has birthed a new wave of professional Instagram models and bloggers who meticulously document their lives. We can’t help but chuckle at the absurdity of it all.
Instagram can be a delightful way to connect, but it also places immense pressure on individuals to portray their lives as perfect, stylish, and full of excitement. Videos like this serve as a humorous reminder not to take it all too seriously. And if you happen to have an Instagram Husband, perhaps give him a day off; his thumb could probably use a break after all that picture-taking.
