Is This the Best or Worst Instagram Account Ever? Meet the Guy Who Only Posts Smiling Selfies

How many selfies is too many selfies?

If you ask @mrpimpgoodgame, the answer is, "The limit does not exist." No amount of selfies is ever too many selfies. And in an Internet age where anything and everything goes viral, that mentality has made his Instagram account another viral sensation. 

You may (naively) assume that most selfies are taken by teenage girls in the bathroom mirror (or by an emotional Justin Bieber), but @mrpimpgoodgame—born, Benny Winfield Jr.—has proven that's not the case, curating an account boasting, at the time of publishing, 100 selfies. 

And that's it.

Each picture is a close-up of Benny's face, always smiling, and finding the differences between each shot is a game straight out of Highlights magazine: Some are at night! Some are during the day! In some he has a mustache, while in others he's clean-shaven. In most he's wears a white T-shirt, but he occasionally opts for a polo instead.

Only once has he not smiled, instead making a sassy face and captioning it, "What are you talking about Willis LMAO" (Also, full disclosure: Two of his shots are not selfies. But those are the exception, not the rule.) 

@mrpimpgoodgame has attracted over 20k followers and his popularity is only on the rise (he's even going to start selling T-shirts, so that you can take a selfie of yourself wearing a selfie of himself and caption it #LMAO #selfie #metaselfie).  

The 37-yeaar-old Houston native spoke with Buzzfeed about his Instagram fame and explained, "I always respond to my fans and tell them I appreciate the love. And if you're getting rude comments or good comments, it's a good thing. That's what you want, people to talk about you. The negative comments don't ever bother me."

And because the Internet never misses an opportunity to GIF anything, here are @mrpimpgoodgame's selfies in GIF formation, made by Gawker commenter TerlinguaTamale:

Surprise! Kate Moss Has an Instagram (But There's No Telling How to Find It)

Here we thought Kate Moss was against the whole social media thing.

And maybe she was (or slightly still is), but there's at least one program that she enjoys using, however that's probably because the supermodel still maintains some sort of privacy while using it.

During an interview with Interview magazine, Moss revealed that her daughter, Lila Grace, is a fan of Instagram.

"My daughter loves Instagram," she told the mag before admitting, "I mean, I do Instagram but I've only got 25 followers."

Surely, the celeb would have far more than 25 followers if she would just tell us what her username is, but that won't be happening.

"Yes, but I don't really want anyone to know where I am. I don't want people to know what I'm doing. That's the complete opposite of what I feel like," she said of letting everyone know her handle.

Although she's tip-toed into social media territory, the star won't be sharing her day-to-day (or minute-by-minute) activities in 140 characters or less anytime soon.

Last year, the blond bombshell told The Times that she couldn't wrap her head around the idea of Twitter. "I couldn't think of anything worse than people knowing what I'm doing all the time. I just don't understand it. I don't get it all. Why would anybody want to know?"

Oh trust, Kate, they want to know.
