You definitely don’t have to be a comedic genius to use social media. Plenty of us simply want to share cute photos of our pets and the elaborate dinners we’re proud of preparing. But if you want to rack up over 3 million followers on Facebook, you better be famous or hilarious.
One account which has managed to gain an impressive amount of followers through its funny and witty content is the beloved Xavier. A simple photo of a man with a mustache and countless clever remarks is apparently a recipe for success online. Below, you’ll find some of our favorite recent posts from Xavier, so enjoy scrolling through and be sure to upvote the ones that make you chuckle.

And I can’t see what’s wrong with the wife one anyway… am I missing something? She’s beautiful
Nokia's are the best. I wish 3310's were still around for my generation to use. Soo much better than a $1000 smartphone.
The Xavier pages are an extremely simple yet lovable concept. And because we’re such big fans of these accounts at Bored Panda, this isn’t the first time we’ve featured them. Lucky for us, we were previously able to get in touch with the team behind Xavier to hear more about how the account started and what it’s been like seeing it grow so large. Now that Xavier’s Facebook page has over 3.2 million followers, there have been plenty of copycat accounts popping up. But the creator doesn’t mind, as long as the accounts aren’t posting harmful or offensive content.
“I want my memes to be clean and simple, and I don’t want myself to be associated with someone who objectifies people on the basis of color, gender, and sexual preferences,” the founder shared. “When I created the page, I was expecting 50K followers in a month which is a very good figure in itself, but by the grace of God, the page reached around 350K followers in the first month itself. Everyone loved to see Xavier’s viewpoint on things.”
They took away all the phone booths. He has no place to change clothes now.
As an expert in creating a successful social media presence, the founder of Xavier also shared some of their top tips for anyone else looking to grow their following online. “I would like to give one piece of advice to everyone who wants to stand out on social media: just be real.”
“Don’t worry about likes or followers, just have a motive of bringing a positive change in the world and bringing joy to other people's lives,” the creator continued. “Giving is all we are supposed to do." And as far as technical advice, he says to "work on SMO [social media optimization], develop design skills, learn about psychology, etc."
While the Xavier page has brought smiles to millions of people around the world, it actually began when the creator was disappointed after not being offered employment from their college. “One day I was sitting alone and thought of a character which would hit the hearts of millions of people, so I put all my thoughts into it and decided on 'Xavier'—a middle-aged Indian man with a mustache, who you would least expect to say witty things, with whom people would empathize," they previously shared with Bored Panda.
Which version of Superman and The Flash? Over what distance and is flying allowed? I remember they had race-offs multiple times over the decades and the results varied depending a lot on the plot at the time. It's really only the more modern versions of The Flash that have tapped into ludicrous speed.
"So there I was, changed my name legally, got myself plastic surgery to look like my imagination," the founder of Xavier joked to Bored Panda. They went on to share that the purpose of Xavier is more than fame or money (which they’re not getting any of anyway, they noted). Their goal is simply to bring smiles to people around the world. “I get many messages on how my memes make people happy, which is my biggest motivation to carry on despite being broke and put all my focus into bringing joy and happiness in their lives,” they shared.
The creator of Xavier also shared how grateful they are for their accounts having so much success. "I would like to thank Asif, who’s one of the kindest and sweetest people on the Earth,” they previously shared. “And thanks for believing in me always and helping me out with everything. One more mention I would like to make is 'SkyWolf' who is my own alter ego, who pushed me to be stronger and believe in myself."
While catfishing on social media is generally frowned upon, in the case of Xavier, we’ll let it slide. He’s not harming anyone, just sharing funny replies and posts that everyone can enjoy. Perhaps we could all benefit from channeling our own inner Xaviers on social media. Rather than trying to edit photos and curate our lives to appear perfect and unattainable, we might want to embrace the messiness of our lives and share clever, silly responses to other people’s posts. We aren’t likely to gain as many followers as Xavier, but as long as we’re having fun, that’s all that matters!
One of the best things about Xavier’s content is that it’s not offensive. There’s so much negativity online, through the news and social media, that sometimes it’s refreshing to find hilarious content that’s not going to hurt anyone’s feelings. While he sometimes shares sarcastic jokes, Xavier is all about making people laugh. He doesn’t have to cross any lines to make funny jokes, he simply puts a fresh spin on memes or shares his hilarious takes on trends online. Nothing but good, wholesome laughs here!
Umbrellas were invented several thousand years ago and they started to be used against rain around 18th century (1700s). They were used against sun long before that, and in fact, umbrella is derived from Latin umbra that means shade. Also, cab drivers (back when cabs were with horses) protested the use of umbrellas, because it threatened their livelihood. Imagine that, a rain starts, and instead of calling a cab you open an umbrella and keep walking! Outrageous! After learning this story I can't seriously sympathize with any kinds of luddites.

It’s full of laughs and good times, what’s not to love?

Two times I've found large(ish) amounts of money while out. When I was 15 or 16 a friend and I were walking behind a drunk guy and he dropped a wad of cash, all yellow ($50 notes) so it easily $500+. I didn't notice him drop it but my friend did so we handed it back to him. A different friend and I were going for lunch and found a handful of $50 notes scattered along the street (no one else around) and we were thinking SCORE! Right up till we found a wallet on the side of the road too. Turned out the guy had bought fuel, put his wallet on the car and driven off. We returned that too. No reward for either. *sigh* sometimes being honest sucks.
Um, sorry, other Xavier posts I've seen have been very funny. But not even one of these is, ok, one made me smile.
You asked what I hate about Bored Panda - I hate that you don't have a ton of these so I can spend my summer vacation cracking up :)
I'm obviously late to the party. I've seen this person occasionally over the past year or so. Who are they? Are they real? Is the avatar just a stock photo of some random guy? Just trying to catch up.
