The Funniest Instagram Accounts You Should Be Following Now

Instagram’s funniest, most inventive accounts perform an especially necessary service as winter rolls in. Hoping to fend off Seasonal Affective Disorder, or FOMO triggered by highlight reels from friends’ (and strangers’) glamorous skiing escapades in Aspen and romantic rendezvous with mulled wine in Vienna? A bit of good old-fashioned humor may just do the trick. 

While funny pages like @girlwithnojob and @fuckjerry have been around since Vine, there are plenty of hilarious accounts out there giving them a run for their money. Here, the funniest Instagram accounts you should be following in 2023; you’re welcome.

Betches Media, @betches

If you’re not following Betches already, then what have you even been doing on Instagram all this time?

Recess Therapy, @recess_therapy

Enjoy some priceless wisdom courtesy of little ones who seem to have life all figured out. 

Overheard New York, @overheardnewyork

If eavesdropping on random conversations piques your interest, you’ll love this account. Others include: @OverheardLA, @OverheadLondon, and @OverheardSanFrancisco. 

Miserable Men, @miserable_men

A satisfying compilation of “miserable men” patiently waiting as their significant others shop—what more could you ask for from internet content?

Anna Macfarlane, @kidsaretheworst

Parenting is no walk in the park, so why not find the laughter in the chaos? As the account’s bio puts it: “It’s ok to laugh. You were the worst once, too.” 

Sabrina Brier, @sabrinabrier

P.O.V.: That friend who never makes you feel like a priority. 

Also on TikTok, Brier impersonates characters we all love to hate. (Her extremely passive-aggressive roommate impression, for instance, is spot-on.)

DM drama, @dmdrama

If you’ve bought or sold anything online, you’ve likely received some odd DMs. These screenshots aren’t meant to be funny, but many can’t help but make you chuckle. 

Lola Tash, Nicole Argiris, Nora Tash, and Gina Tash, @mytherapistsays

My personal and much-needed escape from the influencer culture that’s taken over virtually every social media platform. This Instagram page is a must-follow, catering to every sense of humor. 

Animals Doing Things, @animalsdoingthings

We already know cats are funny, but Animals Doing Things proves hedgehogs, koalas, and raccoons can be just as entertaining. 

Freddie Smithson, @freddiemade

A laugh-out-loud meme account tailored toward fashion and pop-culture aficionados. 

Caroline Goldfarb and Taylor Farish, @officialseanpenn

Awkward celebrity photos are a staple of this somewhat psychedelic account. And in case you were wondering: No, there’s no affiliation with the Hollywood actor.

Texts From Your EX, @textsfromyourex

Anyone who has ever had to deal with the end of a relationship—or a situationship—will definitely relate to these posts.

Curb Your Larry David, @curbyourlarrydavid

Because we all need a little Larry David once in a while.

Jessica Anteby, @beigecardigan

New York City stylist Anteby’s account always has us laughing out loud during our afternoon commute.

April Eileen Henry, @textsfromyourexistentialist

The bio for this creative account says it best: “When art meets text from your existential dread.” Follow at your own risk.
