Everyone loves a quirky sense of humor.

We see selfies all over Instagram, and when you feel like posting one of yourself with a humorous touch, you may struggle to think of funny Instagram captions for your photos.
The best Instagram captions are short but sweet. You're trying to captivate followers mid-scroll, not give them a full-length essay to read!
Instagram might give you over 2,000 characters, but try following Twitter’s rule of using 280 characters or less — and that includes hashtags and emojis. Give your followers a good giggle in as few words as possible. In order for it to be catchy, it needs to be short. We have small attention spans when it comes to social media.

To write a catchy caption you need to first know your audience. Who is following you and will be reading your captions?
Make sure the captions you use stay true to your personal voice and style. Feel free to edit the captions below to make them work for you.
And of course, when it comes to captioning a selfie, you can go multiple ways. You can be confident with an "I woke up like this" vibe. You can get cute with an "always smiling" vibe. You can be quirky with something like, "I need a six-month holiday twice a year," or funny with an, "If I won the award for laziness, I would send somebody to pick it up for me" vibe.

Whether you want to build up your social media following or are looking for new ways to engage with your followers, there's no question that funny captions are way more interesting than just writing something bland like "mood" or "hey."
It's social media. It's okay to have some fun with it!
