Mother uses ‘cockroach’ Instagram filter with daughter


Applying filters to your photos or videos help elevate them to the next level. Nowadays, not only can IG filters create different ‘beauty’ looks, but they can also be used for hilarious purposes such as swapping your face with your friends’.

Augmented reality filters can even make it seem like there’s an animal right there with you. In some cases, they can look so real that we forget it’s just a filter, just like this girl.

Here’s the story of a girl who slapped her own face when she saw an animated cockroach crawling out of her nose.

Translation: I watched this clip three times, and I laughed three times. What an innocent girl. LOL

One viewer shared that she laughed every time she watched the video.


Cockroaches, take note


If we were cockroaches, we’d take this to be a cautionary tale. We believe that the cockroaches may not be brave enough to make an appearance on the girl’s face after one of their AI friends was slapped so hard.

Considering the demonstrated speed and size of humans’ palms and how difficult it’d be for critters to fly away from them, cockroaches may choose to avoid walking on peoples’ faces from now on.
