The Best of Instagram Series is presented by T-Mobile. Its 4G Tweet Race, a week-long campaign launching May 3, pits Twitter users against one another in a daily, frantic race for retweets. There are 7 races, and the winners of each heat win a new HTC One™ S phone with a year of T-Mobile’s Unlimited Value service, and the final winner takes home $4,000.
While the platform is known for its pure visual eye candy, Instagram is actually a popular place for a good laugh. Whether it's an inside joke, a viral meme or a silly face, the "#lol" tag is a hit -- more than 1 million photos have been tagged with the term, according to Statigram.

Here's a roundup of 15 funny photos from the comedy stream on Instagram. What's your favorite photo? Let us know in the comments below.
