«Breaking News» Bros Being Basic Instagram founder defends the hilarious account

From lounging on unicorn pool floats to flaunting abs in the mirror at the gym, many of us are guilty of posing for clichéd Instagram snaps. 

But luckily Delaware-born comedian Ashley Hesseltine is here to remind us all not to take all those 'basic' poses too seriously. 

Founded in 2014,her Bros Being Basic Instagram feed  features men imitating the kind of snaps that probably appear on their girlfriend's accounts. 

Opening up about her latest set of snaps to Bored Panda, she explained that the idea behind the project is to 'pay homage' to women rather than mock them. 

'I'm a female and a feminist, so I'm naturally able to create content that's not going to be offensive to women,' she explained. 

'On top of that, our awesome female followers are able to laugh at themselves and their own 'basic' tendencies.' 

Bros Being Basic Instagram account parody the 'basic' poses women love to post on Instagram, including the obligatory summer snap on a unicorn pool float

Just casually hanging out in my bikini! A bearded man was happy to don some stripey bottoms  in the name of poking fun at clichéd Instagram snaps

Was it even a workout if you didn't take a selfie? This guy got the casual hair pull gesture down to a tee as he posed up a storm in the gym 

Some images include a group of men posing by the beach with their backs to the camera as they wave their bikini tops in the air. 

Another shows a man on his own wearing just a pair of bikini bottoms looking out at the horizon while standing on a balcony. 

And a male wearing a white robe and with a towel wrapped around his head to mimics photos people take when they check into hotels.

The images are all paired with witty captions, with some poking fun at proposals, pregnancy announcements and hen parties, while others mock 'basic' phrases such as 'B***h don't kill my vibe'.   

'Brochella': A picture of a group of men dressed up to the max for the famous festival in the Colorado Desert has racked up almost 20,000 likes on the Bros Being Basic Instagram page

 If it's your birthday, then you'd best make sure everyone knows about it with an over the top snap complete with cake, balloons and a revealing outfit 

Cheeky! This image of five men clasping at one another's bottom while waving their bikini tops in the air will be familiar to anyone who's spent time lingering over other people's holiday snaps 

Ashley set up the account in November 2014, and in four years it has already racked up a massive 876k followers. 

The creator has revealed her inspiration for the page came from herself, and when the term 'basic' emerged she decided to upload pictures of men copyign how women act on online platforms. 

She explained: 'I had an idea for a post on my blog, What If Guys Acted Like Girls on Instagram?' 

Christmas jumpers at the ready! Nothing says festive like playfully posing in a Christmas tree with your pals  

What a show off! If you want to prove how well you did at Christmas then donning every single present for an Instagram snap is clearly the way to go 

'I recruited all my guy friends to create the photos for me, and when the blog started going viral, the idea for the Instagram account was born. I (with the help of my friend Travis May) launched the account on Thanksgiving Eve and it blew up immediately.'

Male contributors to Bros Being Basic recreate some of the most typical pictures that can be found on Instagram while giving them an ironic - and often incongruous - twist.

Your fiancée is rather fluffy! This snap managed to poke fun at engagement pictures and be adorable at the same time

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
