68 Instagram Captions For Your Digital Life

Hola, readers! As long time readers know, from time to time we like to relax and joke around. Sometimes it’s a matter of sharing goofy faces with you. Or even funny pictures of Androids and Apples. But let’s return to a favorite — Instagram captions.

These are some fun Instagram captions. Some of these have been making the rounds, some of these are just ones that we noticed and liked, and some of them are ones that we’ve cobbled together ourselves. In any event, have fun with these, and feel free to use any that you like. Or any that you don’t like. It’s your Instagram.

My idea of good company is the company of clever, well-informed people who have a great deal of conversation; that is what I call good company. — Jane Austen

68 Instagram Captions for your Digital Life

One great thing about Instagram is that it isn’t near as permanent as other social media sites. You can change an Instagram caption at any point. That gives you a level of freedom and playfulness that you don’t have with others. For instance, if you don’t like your caption on Facebook, you pretty much just have to delete and reload the picture. And Twitter won’t give us the edit feature we all want. Your only option is to delete. And that always comes with a lot of problems, because whenever you delete a Tweet, you instantly look kind of suspicious. It’s like Eric Burns-White’s observations about never deleting a blog, but one played out in a million tiny sessions at a time.

All that is to say, if you try out any of these captions here and decide you don’t like it, you can always change it. Like the woman who changed all of the captions on her pictures with her boyfriend after things went south. So feel free to try stuff out, and see what you like.

One thing you want to keep in mind when you’re choosing a caption is what you want to get across. Of course, if there’s something very obvious that occurs to you to say, then by all means go with it. But if you’re reading this, then you’re a little stuck. The Instagram comment space is like a large blank wall, and your ability to comment is like a full can of spray paint in your back pocket. You want to leave your mark on the wall, but what to say?

Well, think about this: Do you want to say something really philosophical or deep? Or maybe you want to say something funny (which this list really leans towards.) Personally, I like to go totally off the wall. I like to make a content that could make sense… in certain contexts. But that seem really out of place. I like to leave comments that somebody is scratching their head over for quite some time, trying to figure out what I meant by it, unable to face the truth: I didn’t mean anything at all.

Here’s what I’m going for. I once read an email by a friend that contained the following joke: “If a mule swears, does its mother wash its hand with soap?” I puzzled over that joke for days on end before I finally broke down and asked her what that joke was supposed to mean.

It turns out that it was a typo. Instead of “mule,” she meant to say “mute.” The result still isn’t a really funny joke, but those days of head scratching… That’s what I want to foster in the people who read my Instagram comments. So some of these go for that, just as there are some that try to be clever, and some that go for humor.
