Best Funny Instagram Captions That Aren’t Just Cute But Clever

In case you are wondering what Instagram captions are, they are simply just the text you write and publish along with your photo on the social networking service. It is not impossible to publish a text with your photo, however, there is an unwritten law that requires all photos to carry a caption.

Many people see and use the caption space as an opportunity to provide a description of what exactly they are doing in the photo or the events that preceded or came after the photo was taken. Others use it as a way to share an inspirational quote, ask thought-provoking questions, or simply just put their sense of humor on display for the world to see. Whatever the case is, the text should not be more than 1000 words (2,200 characters), although it is advised, as you will see in the recommendation section below, that a caption should be made as short as possible.

Steps To Writing Good Instagram Captions

1. Write a draft first

It is best if you take your time to write a caption. Do not rush to write and post one, only for you to come up with what you think might be a better caption moments later. Also, it will not be a bad idea to get someone else to preview it before posting it as people have lost followers due to their cheesy captions.

Furthermore, note that due to Instagram’s algorithm change, posts on news feed do not appear chronologically. This means that you could write “Good Morning” and people will get to see it in the evenings on their feed. That is not to say that the greeting is obsolete but rather trying to write post chronologically can be backfiring as it will solely depend on the subject.

2. Put the important information in front.

Many people tend to not read long posts unless the beginning is able to grab their attention so it is best to keep it short. More importantly, however, is that Instagram cuts off the captions in the news feed after three to four lines of text. This means that to read further, people will have to click on the “More” button. This goes back to the earlier point of the beginning of the text being enticing.

3. Hashtag and Emoji Use

Using a hashtag in your post is advisable because it ties the conversation to that of other users of the same hashtag, as long as your account is public. Anyone who searches that hashtag has a great chance of viewing your caption, picture, and profile, which could, in turn, mean a new follower. Place the hashtags at the end of the text instead of in the beginning or middle, unless the word fits right into what it is you are trying to say. But despite the advantages of using a hashtag on your Instagram caption, it is not wise to overuse them. There is no fun in seeing a long list of relevant and irrelevant hashtags on a post as it is more likely to make followers unfollow your account than gain you more followers.

Emojis, on the other hand, can be used anywhere in the text. It can also be used to replace some words, giving your followers a task of figuring out what exactly it is you mean if it is not already quite obvious.

with the above tips, you are guaranteed to write the best Instagram captions that will keep your followers entertained. However, if you are looking for something short and quick to write, look at the few examples that appear below.
