Meet Mike “Burr” Johnson, a 47-year-old dad who has taken the internet by storm by playfully imitating his teenage daughter, Lily’s, selfies. In today’s age of social media, parents have endless opportunities to embarrass their kids, and Mike is making the most of it in the funniest way possible.
Lily, 19, frequently shares selfies that often have a flirty twist, but rather than scolding her or asking her to take them down, Mike decided to join in on the fun. He began recreating her selfies, placing his versions side-by-side with hers on social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram. This cheeky endeavor earned him the nickname “Selfie Dad,” and it quickly gained traction online.
Mike’s Perspective
When asked about this amusing project, Mike shared with UsWeekly, “It’s been a blast. Some people think I’m a jerk, but they don’t understand our family dynamic. We’ve always poked fun at each other.” Clearly, those calling him a jerk haven’t seen these masterpieces yet!
Lily even tweeted, “MY DAD HARASSES ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA,” alongside a photo of Mike mimicking her Snapchat-filtered picture, complete with a real flower crown perched on his head. Far from being upset, Lily explained, “My dad is the biggest comedian in our family, so when he did the pictures, it was a huge laugh. The best reactions I get are from my peers, hoping their parents aren’t tech-savvy enough to pull off what my dad has done.”
The Viral Sensation
Mike’s flower crown selfie has gone viral, racking up over 3,000 retweets. He recounted the challenges of achieving the perfect shot, saying, “While posing, I discovered that the branch had tiny bugs on it. I was itching like crazy! I guess all artists have to suffer for their craft.”
But it’s not just about flower crowns—Mike has also donned (terribly applied) eyeliner, worn crop tops, and even created a laughably bad stomach tattoo with a Sharpie. All this, of course, is part of his mission to tease his daughter and showcase his comedic talents.
A Playful Banter
While having your dad troll you online might be annoying for some, Mike and Lily seem to be thriving in their playful banter. We can’t wait to see more of Lily’s selfies and, of course, Mike’s next creative masterpiece.
