There's a hilarious Instagram account called brosbeingbasic that tries to show us what it would look like if men started making the same types of Instagram photos that many women like to create. You know, the ones where basic girls suggestively flaunt their half-naked bodies, show-off their pumpkin spice lattes and hashtag it all with something like 'blessed.' Yep, we're talking about these silly Instagram trends, to which all of the girls give in at least once.

To be fair, there's nothing wrong with being basic - it's comfortable to blend in with a crowd, but as with everything in this life, if overdone, basic can seem rather hilarious. This funny Instagram account accentuates exactly that, without actually mocking girls.

Inspired by this account, other men, also known as the basic bros, across Instagram also started parodying some of the posts they see women make most often. These were collected together by wittyandpretty.com, but you're welcome to continue the trend by adding your own funny photos and voting for your favorites!
