artificial insemination kit for humans
What do avocados, tiny pumpkins, and the phrase “It’s wine o’clock!” all have in common? They’re staples on many white women’s Instagram feeds. Don’t take it personally, Karen; you know it’s true.
Here’s a rule I stand by: we need to learn to laugh at ourselves. Good humor offers joy and can make us laugh so hard we hurt. Whether the jokes are about short people (even if your kids are towering over you by age 12) or poking fun at Midwesterners who say “ope!” a dozen times a day, it’s all fair game. And yes, even if the jokes are about white folks. Yes, I’m talking to you, Brenda—it’s not racist to joke about non-marginalized groups. It’s simply humor.
That’s why Bo Burnham’s recent video, “White Woman’s Instagram,” is so spot-on and laugh-out-loud funny. He expertly highlights the quirks of stereotypical white women, and let’s be real, there’s some truth in it.
From the opening scene featuring an avocado (naturally!), Burnham’s satirical song and video are absolutely hilarious. If you’re too offended to laugh, seriously, loosen up and join us in humorland—it’s way more fun here!
Dressed in flannel and socks, trying to look effortlessly casual, Burnham dives into all the classic white girl tropes. He includes must-haves like a pumpkin-scented candle, a cozy fall sweater, and a dog (golden retrievers are iconic, but really, any dog will do) alongside a cheeky T-shirt that says “May contain wine!”
So far, he’s nailed all the essentials, right? Fall obsessions? Check. Dogs? Check. Wine references? Absolutely CHECK. It’s almost predictable.
Am I a bit miffed that he’s poking fun at my beloved fuzzy socks? Seriously, BO BURNHAM, those socks are life! I’m just a short, white woman from the Midwest with perpetually cold feet!
What I really love are his exaggerated facial expressions and the way he tosses his hair, looking deep in thought as if he isn’t really wondering, “What’s the best angle for my rear?” That serious, introspective gaze before snapping a picture and slapping on a dozen filters is a classic white woman Instagram move, and we all know it.
Burnham doesn’t hold back when he mocks the “super woke” white women with their “no hate” posts and misattributed civil rights quotes. (“Some random quote from Lord of the Rings incorrectly attributed to Martin Luther King…” I nearly fell over laughing at that one.)
There are also random humorous lines like “a goat cheese saaaallllaaad…” alongside those ubiquitous throw pillows with feel-good words like “dream,” “believe,” and “joy” that make you chuckle and say, “OMG, that’s totally me.” You want to be offended, but truthfully, you can’t because he’s spot on. Humor is good for the soul.
Sure, he touches on serious topics like missing loved ones and our insecurities, but then he shifts to an image of himself surrounded by 900 tiny pumpkins, and you can’t help but laugh because every white woman loves tiny pumpkins.
As a comedian, Bo Burnham’s job is to entertain, and he knows that with visibility comes criticism. There will always be backlash and someone who feels offended. But he keeps going, because making people laugh and feel the healing power of humor is worth it, even if it ruffles some feathers.
He’s known for creating borderline offensive yet incredibly funny content that highlights societal truths. His song “Welcome to the Internet” challenges us to question everything about humanity while exposing our collective flaws. Just like with “White Woman’s Instagram,” you find yourself thinking, “Wow, he’s right.”
However, whenever jokes are made about white women’s $8 coffee orders or their perfectly coordinated family photos in flannels, there’s always that one person who insists it’s racist. No, sweetheart. You just came from a photoshoot in a field while sipping on your venti-mocha-whip-latte, still wearing your flannel infinity scarf. Just take a seat.
I’ve watched Burnham’s hilarious video multiple times, and much of it rings true—even about me. And it’s definitely true for countless white women on Instagram. But that doesn’t bother me. Am I still planning to buy a wheelbarrow full of pumpkins this fall for a field photo op? (Bo, mind if I borrow yours?) You bet I am. Am I stopping the consumption of goat cheese salads? Absolutely not! They’re delicious, especially with avocados.
So no, I’m not offended by this humorous take on white women’s Instagram lives, nor will I be changing my own Instagram account anytime soon, because that’s not what humor is about. This Midwestern white gal isn’t going anywhere, Bo—keep the jokes coming!
