“A new video featuring the long-suffering laments of the “Instagram Husband” is a comedic tribute to the silent sacrifice of the partners who help make art (or “art”) happen. But it also inadvertently highlights how rarely that role is played by men.

The video, a comedy sketch by Emmy-winning Missouri talk show The Mystery Hour, is framed in a confessional style, featuring downtrodden men telling their tales of woe. “My name’s Trey, I’m an Instagram husband,” one guy begins. “I’ve had to delete all the apps off my phone to make room for more photos.”

“It’s become a pretty big problem,” another says. “It takes so long to get anywhere because we’re taking pictures of our feet.”

The men in the sketch are clearly depicted as emasculated, humiliated, bitter, and bored. And while the video is funny enough (especially if you don’t subscribe to that Insta Lifestyle), the humor hinges on the fact that it’s novel—men don’t usually play the silent support role. They are more likely to be the prominent artists and the makers, and it’s more often women behind the scenes cheering them on.”
