In today’s digital age, parents have become masters of embarrassing their children through social media, and one dad is taking it to the next level. Meet Greg “Burr” Thompson, a 47-year-old father of a 19-year-old daughter named Lily. Like many teens today, Lily loves to share her selfies online, some of which are a bit on the daring side. Instead of simply asking her to tone it down, Greg decided to have some fun by recreating her selfies in his own humorous style.
Greg, now dubbed “Selfie Dad,” has been posting side-by-side comparisons of his versions alongside Lily’s original photos on platforms like Twitter and Instagram. What started as a lighthearted joke quickly gained traction, garnering laughs and a good amount of internet attention. “It’s been a riot,” Greg shared with a chuckle. “Some people think I’m a jerk, but they just don’t understand our family’s humor.”
Lily herself has joined in on the fun, tweeting, “MY DAD HARASSES ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA” alongside one of Greg’s hilarious recreations, where he sported a flower crown and mimicked her Snapchat filter. Despite the playful jab, she appreciates her dad’s sense of humor. “He’s the comedian of the family, so when he started doing this it just made us all laugh. The best part is seeing my friends hope their parents aren’t tech-savvy enough to join in on the trend he’s created,” she remarked.
Greg’s flower crown selfie, which has racked up over 3,000 retweets, wasn’t without its challenges. “While I was taking the picture, I realized there were tiny bugs in that branch I used for the crown. I spent a few minutes scratching and trying to get them out,” he recounted. But the resulting laughter made it all worthwhile.
In addition to the flower crown, Greg has donned crop tops, applied (terribly) eyeliner, and even drawn a makeshift tattoo on his stomach using a Sharpie – all in good fun to tease his daughter. Although it might be a bit annoying for Lily to have her dad trolling her online, it’s clear this father-daughter duo is enjoying the experience. “More selfies, please!” we say – not just because Lily is lovely, but because we can’t wait to see what ridiculous antics Greg will come up with next.
