These are the Instagram accounts that hit close to home — in a good and funny way.
If the rapid growth of meme and TikTok culture says anything about the human race — it’s that we love satirical content and anything that pokes at the slightly mundane, normalized aspects of life, twisting it into something hilarious. This type of humor has been around forever because it validates our lived experiences and creates a larger connection and sense of belonging, now that we know someone else out there just gets it.
Here’s our roundup of Instagram accounts creating content about industry life that you have to follow. They will not fail in making you laugh, and feel seen — and who knows, maybe they’ll offer you a comical perspective the next time a guest sends back their steak because it’s pink and they asked for medium-rare.
