40 Funniest Celebrity Instagram Posts of 2018
Proof that your favorite celebrities aren't just funny on screen.
Have you ever followed a celebrity on Instagram and, when their photos and videos start popping up in your feed, it almost feels like you and they are besties? It sounds bonkers, we know, but it's part of what makes social media so addictive. You get to know a famous person when they're off the clock, just being themselves and trying to make you laugh. There's a big difference between watching the stars you love get silly on the big screen or on TV—when it's in their financial best interests to to be hilarious—and watching them do it in their own home, when it's recorded on their cell phones and they very well might be wearing sweatpants.
So, without further ado, here are 40 of our favorite Instagram posts from the past year, which are brilliantly funny not in spite of their informality, but in many cases because of it. And for more A-lister social media hilarity, check out 40 Funniest Celebrity Tweets of 2018.

"Celebrating all of the girl power that's kept us going for 25 years. #SpiceBoys #BSBCruise2018"

All that huffing and puffing makes us agree with Taylor, strumming a guitar doesn't count as cardio

Has there ever been a more heartfelt, emotional plea than the Firefly star writing, "Hat, if you can hear me, I'll never give up on you"?

You don't wear a fanny pack like that—in fact, you don't wear any of that outfit—without a healthy sense of self-confidence.

We're not sure what's happening in this photo exactly, but it involves green spandex covered in shamrocks, and a tree being embraced unabashedly, by Iron Man himself. Whatever's happening, it's not going to end well.
#fbf to the weird fence around the Christmas tree our parents used to keep us from touched the presents even though we never would've dared because my super scary Tiger Mom had supersonic hearing and could hear if we even breathed on an ornament. Long story short, there was a lot of trust in the family."

You know, like grownups are want to do.

We like honey well enough, but after viewing Garner's footage of raw honey with the "ooooh yeeeeah" song from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, we're suddenly craving it in really unfamiliar ways.
"If there's a better meal than the PB&J your dad packs for you for your airplane trip, I haven't found it yet. #NotAnAd"
With all the food-gramming we see of elaborate, high-end dishes, it's refreshing to see someone celebrate a timeless culinary classic. Kudos to the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt star for reminding us that nothing beats a sandwich made by Dad. (Also, the #NotAnAd hashtag had us rolling.)
