50 Funny Hashtags for Instagram

Instagram is a terrific place for sharing photos with friends, following your crowd to see what they’re up to, and checking out interesting hashtags to expand your horizons. All in all, Instagram is a great way to waste a little time having some fun in the process!

One of the most powerful features of Instagram is the way that you can apply a hashtag to a particular photo, enabling other Instagram users to find your photos even if they don’t know or follow you. When you post your own pictures, putting up an awesome hashtag (or a few) is key to getting a wider audience. Instagram hashtags can be generic sometimes, sure, but they can also be silly, heartwarming, and even hilarious.

In this article, I’ve collected some of the funnier hashtags I’ve ever found so that you can be inspired to create your own… or you can just borrow these hashtags. Regardless, I won’t tell anyone.

You can also use these hashtags as a way to find funny original content that other people have posted!

49 Riverdale Quotes for Instagram

At the start of 2017, Archie and his legendary crew from the long-running comic series were resurrected in rare form. CW’s hit series Riverdale is a teen drama inspired by the classic archetypes from the original tales, albeit with a few darker twists thrown in. If you’re a fan wanting to share a favorite scene or just trying to find the perfect Riverdale quote to capture the moment, then look no further.

When it comes to Riverdale, there’s a character for every occasion.

Archie

This football player-meets-musician isn’t as perfect as he seems, but he’s still a pretty stand-up guy. And sometimes you just need a touch of that manly drama to say how you feel.

• “You can’t go through life trying not to get hurt.”
• “Don’t underestimate her. And don’t bet against her.”
• “You are so perfect. I’ll never be good enough for you.”
• “From now on, we’re protecting our own.”

• “I was born alone. I’ll die alone. I’ll sing alone. I’ll be OK.”
• “We will find you, we will hunt you, and we will end you.”

Jughead

Archie’s best friend brings the high school “lone wolf” to the next level. And if you need a bit of hipster flare without quite sounding like a hipster, he’s got you covered.

• “Have you ever seen me without this stupid hat on?”
• “In case you haven’t noticed, I’m weird.”
• “I self-identify as a loner.”
• “Sardonic humor is just my way of relating to the world.”

• “You’re so much stronger than all of the white noise.”
• “I don’t fit in, and I don’t wanna fit in.”
• “To be discussed over many burgers and many days…”
• “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, especially not when there’s a snake curled up in its limbs.”
• “We’re not gonna hug in front of this whole town. So why don’t we just both do that bro thing where we nod like douches and mutually suppress our emotions?”
• “There’s that old cliché saying – ‘It’s always darkest before the dawn.’ But sometimes there’s just darkness.”
• “That’s the common misconception about fairy tales. They very rarely have a happy ending.”

Betty

A goodie two-shoes to her core, Betty still manages to have a little sour in her sweet.

• “Who would’ve thought at the beginning of the year that we would all become great friends?”
• “I do everything for everyone. Everything to be perfect.”
• “Can I just do this one thing for me?”

• “We’re both so lucky, I mean, don’t you think? To have found the people that we’re meant to be with?”
• “I’m not gonna stop until I prove it.”

Veronica

The polar opposite of Betty, Veronica’s referential humor tells it like it is. If you’re looking for a way to say what you think without caring what anyone else thinks, then there’s no one better to turn to.

• “I don’t follow the rules. I make them. And when necessary,  I break them.”
• “I’m Breakfast at Tiffany’s, but this place is strictly In Cold Blood.”
• “You may be a stock character from a 90s teen movie, but I’m not.”

• “Can’t we just liberate ourselves from the tired dichotomy of jock, artist. Can’t we, in this post-James Franco world, be all things at once?”
• “You wanted fire? Sorry, my specialty is ice.”
• “If the Manolo Blahnik fits…”
• “You ever seen what happens to a snake when a Louboutin heel steps on it? Keep talking and you’ll find out.”
• “I need to know my dad’s life, and he needs to know mine.”

Cheryl

The mean-spirited Cheryl is possibly the only other girl in Riverdale who can dish it out quite like Veronica.

• “I need girls with fire on my squad.”
• “I’m in the mood for chaos.”
• “Sorry to interrupt the sad breakfast club.”
• “Listen up fives, a ten is speaking.”
• “I think she’s crazier than a serial killer on bath salts.”
• “If you breathe, it’s because I give you air.”

• “You’ve got the vocabulary of a baked potato.”
• “Did you really think you could party without inviting moi?”
• “Want to team up for a little destruction?”
• “You’re welcome to challenge me, but you’ll lose.”

Kevin

This openly-gay and observant young teen can sometimes see the other characters better than they see themselves.

• “Let’s start with skinny dipping and see what happens.”
• “In real life, what you see is what you get.”

• “You live in this pale pink world of milkshakes and first kisses.”
• “If you can’t accept what I do, whatever I do, then we’re just…we’re not really friends.”
• “Betty’s ponytail is iconic and beyond reproach.”

Josie

Josie and her Pussycats are characterized by power, passion, and perseverance.

• “Alright girl, go get changed. ‘Cause we’re gonna rock it!”
• “Read my glossed lips – not gonna happen.”

• “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.”
• “We have to claw our way into the same room you can just waltz into.”

If none of these characters speak to your Instagram feed, then there are plenty others to choose from. After all, Riverdale leaves no character concept unexplored.

More Sentiments

If you’ve gotten to the bottom of our list and still haven’t found the right remark for your Instagram or Facebook post, consider one of these extra, but no less powerful, expressions.

Snapchat Ideas to Send to your Guy

Snapchat is designed for the irreverent, the ephemeral, the silly, non-sequitur, off-the-cuff moments that, until social media came along, you wouldn’t normally get to share with hundreds of others. But let’s be honest. You don’t really want to send your crush that spontaneous shot of you pulling a duck face next to a watermelon margarita the size of your head with the caption “Partaaaaay Bitches!” I mean sure it says you’re fun, quirky, and possibly an alcoholic, but this is your crush you’re talking about. He doesn’t need to see that side of you until at least date three.

If you’re one of the lucky among us to already have a boyfriend locked down, then you can loosen the reigns a bit. After all, he’s already clued in to your penchant for dressing up your cat as Disney characters and posting him to Facebook with punny captions. Still, with a little guidance, you can use Snapchat as a tool to entice, excite, and entertain him. What’s more entertaining than The Little Mewmaid you ask? Well, let me tell you…

 

Ideas for Snapping Your Crush

Let’s begin in crush territory, since there are undoubtedly more stringent rules here. If you haven’t actually crossed the threshold into early dating, then you have to ask yourself how much you want him to know. Is this the sort of snap that says “We’re good friends (but not really), but really we are just good friends (unless you want something more)”? Or this your official crush coming out party where you let him know that you’ve had your eye on him ever since he avenged you at paintball? Whatever your goals, we’ve got something for you.

Cute Pic of Your Pet

This is almost always a solid choice. Leave the costumes and captions off your furry friend. Just send along a candid shot of your dog giving a winning grin or your cat loafing on the couch – the cuter or sillier the better. Animal pics like this are at once vulnerable and sweet while not coming off as needy and attention-grabbing. They also show a caring side of you. This is a great way to soften your crush up a bit without shouting, “Let’s date” to the rafters.

Show Off Your Talent

You are talented. maybe you play an instrument. Maybe you draw. Maybe you’re an athlete, a writer, or a chef. Maybe you’re just killing it in Overwatch. Whatever your special interest, you’re good at it. Let him know. No, that doesn’t mean snapping a video of you singing Died In Your Arms Tonight at karaoke. But a selfie of you on the karaoke stage with microphone in hand lets him know that you’ve got interests, talents, and, well, a life.

Be Action Girl

Along those same lines, share some of your other interests with him. Do you enjoy hiking? Board games? Museums? Snap about your very active weekend. You don’t even have to be in the snaps. It shows that you’re an interesting and independent person. At the same time it shows you care enough about him to share some of what’s special to you.

Have a Sense of Humor

Before you go there, this does not mean send a picture of you on the toilet making a goofy face. In fact, just avoid the bathroom altogether. Unless you and your crush are long-time friends who are used to this sort of thing, avoid gross humor. Instead, capitalize on some inside jokes. These reinforce the special bond you share. If you’re not close enough for inside jokes, then try making some. An easy way to do this is with something I call Suddenly Pineapple. Dress up a pineapple – something simple and goofy like a wizard hat with one of those glasses-nose-eyebrows combos. Then snap it in bizarre locations. Maybe he’s viewing a nude piece of art at the local modern art museum. Maybe he’s riding in a carriage downtown. Now substitute pineapple for anything you want (toy soldier, zucchini, creepy porcelain doll). If he’s into it, he might pick something and do the same.

In conclusion, I just want to say to keep it mostly short and simple. Unless you’re doing something silly like Suddenly Pineapple, then you don’t want to put too much work into the snap. A contrived snap is easy to spot, and it sends the message that you’re trying way to hard. Finally, don’t oversnap. I know I said to share your interests, but he doesn’t need a blow-by-blow of your weekend. A simple shot of you at the top of a local peak will do nicely.

 

Ideas for Snapping Your Boyfriend

If your once crush has turned into a fully-fledged flower-buying shoulder-rubbing boyfriend, then the snap rules change. First of all, relax. If the prospect of snapping your boyfriend gives you anxiety, then you’ve got other things to focus on. But if you just want to spice things up a bit and make him smile, then here are some places to start.

PG Rated Body Part

OK. You can take this in a couple of directions. The sensual route will have you snapping your bare legs as you sun on your porch. But if you want to get silly with it, send something aggressively anti-sensual. Maybe your boyfriend would appreciate a picture of your elbow with a sexy caption? Perhaps you can entice him with a capture of tasteful side knee. It’s your call.

Wearing His Clothes

For the sensual version, do the obvious. try a full length selfie of you in a dress shirt and undies (a la Risky Business). You might even be able to incorporate a loose tie and jaunty hat. But if you prefer to watch the world burn, then choose some more unusual pieces of clothing, like ratty boxers or dress socks. Wear them on the wrong parts of your body. Strike a sexy pose anyway.

Just Your Lips

This pretty much explains itself. Nothing says “you’re about to get lucky” like a close-up of you biting your lip. If you make a habit of this, consider throwing in some surprises, like you with vampire fangs, you drooling, and you wearing a mustache. You could even get your best guy friend to take a close up of his lips and send those instead.

Places You Remember

This is possibly the most romantic of the options (hint hint guys reading this article). You don’t need to go on a walking tour of your city just for a snap or two, but if you happen by a place with a fond memory, take a moment to share it. Did you just walk by the restaurant where you had your first date? What about the harbor where you left for a cruise last summer? If you’re intent on subverting even this sweet suggestion, you could try the alley where he first held your hair back while you were sick from partying too hard or the overpass where a pigeon pooped on his head that one time.

Toilet Pic

Do it. You know you’ve been thinking about it ever since I brought it up. Just do it if it’s that important to you.

Hopefully these ideas have inspired a little romance, a little openness, and more than a little sass. I just want to leave you with this: no nudes. Please no nudes. Ok, maybe if you’ve been with your boyfriend for years, he’s far away on a trip, and you’re totally comfortable with it, you can send a nude. But for the vast majority of ladies out there, think twice. Once you put it out there, you can’t get it back. And thanks to screenshots, even a snap can last forever.

Not Getting Enough Tinder Matches? What You Can Do About It

So, you’re finally putting yourself out there. You’re ready to meet new people and you’ve heard that Tinder is the place to start. But it’s been a week and you must have swiped through dozens of profiles a day. Why aren’t you landing any matches?

The answer is likely a combination of factors. It’s possible your profile needs a makeover or you’re being too picky yourself. That or maybe you just need a little boost. Here are some tried and true methods for getting more Tinder matches.

Boost Yourself

That’s right. That boost we were talking about is a literal thing. The Tinder boost makes your profile one of the top profiles in your area for 30 whole minutes. That means more people will find you and have the chance to swipe right.

You can get a Tinder boost in one of two ways. Either get Tinder Plus, Tinder Gold, or buy them directly. We cover the first two later on, so lets look at how to buy them directly. Follow these directions from the Tinder home view.

1. Tap Settings.                                                        
2. Tap the lightening bolt above Get Boosts to Increase Your Matches. 
3. Decide how many boosts you want yo purchase. The more you buy, the less you pay per boost.                                                                
4. Tap Boost Me.
5. Tap Purchase.

Become a Tinder Plus Member

Want your money to go a little further? Consider getting a Tinder Plus membership. Tinder Plus gives you one free boost per month. But that’s not all you get.

Users also get unlimited swiping, 5 super likes a day (instead of the usual one), the ability to edit their location (to match with people all over the globe), and more. All of these features will help increase your chances of matching. After all, the more people you like, the higher your chance of coming across someone who likes you too.

To become a Tinder Plus Member, follow these steps from the Tinder home view.

1. Tap My Tinder Plus at the bottom of the screen.             
2. Tap Get Tinder Plus.                                                              
3. Select the length of time that you are willing to commit to paying for a membership. The longer you commit, the smaller the monthly fee. 
4. Tap Continue.
5. Tap Confirm.

Become a Tinder Gold Member

Welcome to the most exclusive club on Tinder. It comes with all of the same perks as Tinder Plus. However, it also comes with the handy ability to see everyone who likes you before you like them back.

Of course, this won’t change the number of people who like you. But it does fast track you to those profiles. No longer will you need to drudge through dozens of profiles hoping to find someone who happened to come across your profile and feels the same way. With Tinder Gold all of those people are handed to you on a, well, gold platter.

To become a Tinder Gold Member, follow these steps from the Tinder home view.

1. Tap Settings.                                                         
2. Tap Tinder Gold.                                                      
3. Choose how many months of Tinder Gold you want. As with the others, the more you buy the more cost effective it is.                       
4. Tap Continue.
5. Tap Confirm.

Up Your Bio Game

You could make yourself more visible by boosting every day, or even twice a day, but that won’t guarantee that anyone who sees your profile will like it. You need to craft a profile that draws people in. Here are some tips for accomplishing just that.

• Keep it short and sweet. People come to Tinder for a speed dating experience. They aren’t here to read your novel. Don’t feel like you need to use up all 500 characters and do break your text up into mobile digestible paragraphs.
• Be sincere. Remember that the goal is to find worthwhile matches, not to match with as many people as humanly possible. Be honest about who you are and what you’re looking for. Be specific too. If your bio is just like the last 10 that person viewed, you’re not likely going to sway them.
• Have a Bio. While we’re on the subject of bios, it’s always good to, you know, actually have one. No bio? No swipe right. That’s almost a guarantee.

Tinder does not require proof of identification, and there are a lot of bios out there that are questionable at best. Let others know that you’re a genuine human being looking for a genuine connection.

Reconsider Some of Those Photos

Not all photos are created equal. That’s not to say that you don’t look terrific in them. But that they may sending the wrong message to people who don’t really know you. For example, let’s say you include a photo of you doing a stellar yoga pose in front of a waterfall. You might think you have a winner there, but consider how many other stellar yoga poses are showing up on Tinder. Try finding some photos that set you apart.

Of course, that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Check out some of these tips for choosing solid Tinder photos.

• Don’t try too hard to be cool. That selfie of you in the driver’s seat with your aviator shades on isn’t fooling anyone. If you are trying too hard, chances are other people can tell.
• Avoid being overly sexual. How many times has a new profile popped up only to show a ripped torso, tight shorts, and no head? Or what about the selfie shot that shows more cleavage than face? We all want to look attractive, but don’t overdo it. It’s a turn off for some and might intimidate otherwise worthy matches.
• Smile. A lot of people avoid smiles. They worry that their smile isn’t attractive or it puts too many lines on their face. If you want to include a couple of photos of you looking more serious, then do it. But make sure to include some smiles. Show people that you’re approachable and don’t take yourself too seriously.
• Show Your Interest. If you’re outdoorsy, show some pics of you on the trail. If you’re a club-goer, include some reasonably well lit bar shots. Try to show people who you are.
• Group photos in moderation. Group photos show that you’re active and outgoing. But too many distracts from the main subject: you.
• Photos with animals and kids for the win. This goes double if you’re a dude. It shows that you’re kind and approachable.
• Variety is the spice of life. Tinder allows you to add up to six photos. Don’t make them all action shots or selfies. Get a little bit of everything going.

Allow Tinder to Test Your Profile Pics

First impressions are everything. Once you have the perfect line-up of Tinder photos loaded in, it’s time to decide which photo to display first. That’s the photo that will either encourage the other user to check out your profile or reject you outright.

Sound like a lot of pressure? Tinder understands and wants to help you out. There’s a Tinder function that allows the app to test out each of your chosen pics as the primary one. The app checks to see which primary photo results in the most likes and uses that.

To turn this function on, follow these steps from the Tinder home view.

1. Tap Edit Info.                                                          
2. Toggle on Smart Photos located beneath your photos. 

You can turn it off and take the wheel at any time.

Try Being Less Choosey

We’re not saying you need to swipe right on everyone. That would defeat the purpose of the app. All we’re saying is that it takes two to make a match. There might be a lot of people out there that like you but won’t get to know you because you rejected them. Consider the possibility that you might be too picky. Start giving people the benefit of the doubt, and start getting more matches.

 

19 Challenges To Do With your Friends

As the summer comes to a close, so too do the sunny days that lead to swimming, hiking, and playing volleyball. Pretty soon, you’ll need to put on that sweater and find some other way for you and your friends to entertain yourselves. You’re in luck, because we have a handful of challenges to amuse, excite, and possible disgust you.

Wasabi Challenge

Let’s start with the basics. If YouTube has taught us anything, it’s that coercing our friends into eating disgusting things (or normal things in disgusting amounts) is a Millennial past time. Maybe it’s time you and your friends see what all what the hype is about. Start be challenging each other to eat a spoonful of wasabi – you know, that spicy green paste that you always brush off when you eat your sushi. There will be no dilly-dallying on this one though, you need to eat the spoonful in under a minute.

Ghost Pepper Challenge

Wasabi just not too spicy for you? If you think you’re a tough culinary cookie, then you might want to go a step further and challenge your friends to eating a whole ghost pepper. They might not be the spiciest pepper in the world, that honor belongs to the Carolina Reaper, but they are not for the faint of heart. Plus, you have to admit that the name has a nice ring to it.

Raw Onion Challenge

OK, so this one might not sound nearly as tough as the others. After all, when compared with wasabi and ghost peppers, raw onion just doesn’t seem to have enough kick. But have you ever eaten an entire raw onion in one sitting? No matter how much you love onion, you’ll likely find this a formidable challenge.

Gallon Milk Challenge

In the same spirit of gluttony as the raw onion challenge, the gallon milk challenge invites you to drink your fill – and fast. In fact, you have to drink an entire gallon of milk in an hour without throwing up. A more extreme version of this challenge requires you to drink the gallon in under a minute, but we wouldn’t recommend it.

The Watermelon Challenge

This food challenge involves an exciting new variant. Not only do you have to eat a watermelon in two minutes, but you have to do it with your hands tied behind your back. Prepare to get very messy.

Powdered Donut Challenge

Now, for the last of the basic food challenges, you need to eat five whole powdered donuts. Sound easy? Try doing it quickly and without taking a single drink. You’d be surprised how much your mouth dries out without a little something to wet the whistle. Not interested in cheating on your diet? No problem, try eating five saltines in a minute without taking a single drink. It’s all of the challenge with far fewer calories.

Wendy’s Challenge

If your’e getting bored with the simple food challenges, fear not. The Wendy’s challenge definitely involves eating, but with a twist. Challenge your friends to order one of each item on the Wendy’s 99 cent menu…and eat ALL OF IT. For added difficulty, see who can finish first. No barfing allowed.

Smoothie Challenge

Looking for a food challenge with a little variety that doesn’t make you eat a week’s worth of calories in one sitting? What the smoothie challenge lacks in gluttony it more than makes up for in ick factor. Choose 8-12 delicious smoothie ingredients and as many disgusting smoothie ingredients. Write each ingredient on a separate sheet of paper and place them in a bowl. Hand the bowl around and have each of your friends pull 4-5 ingredients from it. Everyone should have the same number of ingredients. Finally, reveal your slips of paper and make your smoothie, for better or for worse. The winner finishes their smoothie…every drop.

Shabby – Chic Food Challenge

For a fun food game that isn’t gross, challenge your friends to a taste test. Buy two kinds of several types of food: a cheap kind and a gourmet one. Then blindfold your friends and have them try one of each. The challenge is telling which of the types is shabby and which is chic.

Banana and Sprite Challenge

This one is a bit odd and may be based on some false assumptions, but it could be fun nonetheless. Try eating two bananas followed by a liter of Sprite. According to some, there’s some sort of chemical reaction that makes you barf. However, it’s more likely that the combination of banana and Sprite is just plain gross.

Diet Coke and Mentos Challenge

For a real chemical reaction that will make you laugh, try combining some Diet Coke with some minty fresh Mentos. Fill your mouth with a fistful of the breath freshener and start drinking. Your mouth will start looking like a middle school volcano science experiment.

Chubby Bunny Challenge

This oldie is still a goodie. Buy a bag or three of marshmallows and pop one in your mouth. Then, say the words “chubby bunny.” Keep adding a marshmallow until you can’t say the words any longer. See which of your friends can hold the most marshmallows in their mouth while still being able to say those words.

Oreo Face Challenge

Challenge your friends to eat an Oreo. That’s it – just one Oreo. But there’s a catch. They have to turn their face to the ceiling, put the Oreo on their forehead, and try to eat it hands free without letting it fall.

No Thumbs Challenge

Finally, we come to a challenge that has nothing to do with food. Challenge your friends to go the whole day without using their thumbs. Better yet, tape your hands up so that your thumbs are stuck to your palms and completely inaccessible. Just don’t plan to do any cooking.

Silence Challenge

You think going the whole day without using your thumbs is tough, try going the whole day without speaking. Challenge your friends to the task and make sure they have to go out in public at least once. The last one to give in is the winner.

Popsicle Stick and Cup Tower Challenge

Challenge your brain cells with this creative activity. You and your friends must build towers using only Popsicle sticks and cups. The winner is the only that builds the tallest free-standing tower. If you want to change things up a bit, brainstorm some other fun building materials.

Blindfold Make-up Challenge

If you’re ready to get silly and messy, try the blind-fold makeup challenge. It’s exactly how it sounds. You blindfold yourself and attempt to apply makeup to a brave friend’s face. Have multiple friends do this and the rest judge the results on accuracy, creativity, and likelihood to end up in a Picasso exhibit.

Say Anything Challenge

This simple and silly word game is a great way to pass the time. Start by saying a word – any word. Then your friend must say another word that starts with the same letter as your word ended with. This continues around and around. When someone hesitates for too long, says an invalid word, or repeats a word that’s already been said, they are disqualified.

Mouthful of Water Challenge

This challenge is all about laughter (or lack thereof). Have your friend fill their mouth with water. Then try to make them laugh (without physical contact – no tickling). You can use jokes, YouTube videos, and anything else you can think of. Side note: jumping out at them doesn’t count; you’re trying to make them laugh not scare them. For added fun, have all your friends do it and time them to see who can hold onto their water the longest.

Not a fan of these? No problem. YouTube has no shortage of challenge videos that you can draw inspiration from. You can also share some of your favorite challenges below!
