Sitcom Character Instagram Accounts

If Elaine Benes Used Social Media, Hilarity Would Ensue

Buzzfeed explores what it would be like if Elaine Benes, one of the beloved characters from 'Seinfeld,' had an Instagram account. Hilarity would definitely ensue, especially since it would revolve around quirky everyday moments that people love to like on such social media platforms. Coupled with Elaine Benes' sarcastic sense of humor, she would without a doubt have a large following.

If Instagram existing in the '90s, Elaine Benes would have found her calling instantly, since it would appeal to her inner writer. What makes this particular feed stand out is the comparison with today's obsessions including the hashtag '#twinning' and shots of food. Elaine Benes even makes a 'man crush Monday' reference with a photo of Puddy and his squint.
