Oh My God…We Are, Like, Literally Dying Over This Instagram Account

If you’ve ever seen someone talk about how they are “literally dying” or “literally dead” on social media, the misuse of the world “literally” might make you twitch a bit. Chalk it up to lack of literacy or simply slang gone wild, but some coworkers saw an opportunity for a hilarious joke. Their inside joke has now gone viral, and we can all bask in the glory that is Skellie.

Skellie was created by social media manager Dana Herlihey with the intent of pranking her friends. The Instagram account follows the (after)life and times of Skellie, an obnoxiously basic Instagram user who overuses hashtags, abuses filters, references Taylor Swift and Starbucks, takes pictures of her food, and is all-around every cringey social media habit rolled into one. Basically, she’s your obnoxious friend, or your embarrassing younger self. Maybe she’s even you.

Also, she’s a skeleton. Which means the “literally dead” jokes are actually funny. The captions are Skellie’s own quotes, but we’ve spared you the hashtags, for the most part. (You’re welcome.)

So the next time you find yourself having to slog through a sea of multi-word hashtags, or once again see what kind of gluten-free creation your friend is easting for lunch, just suggest they follow Skellie. They’ll understand…if they don’t literally die first.
