What to Know
In some ways, the Duggars are miles behind the rest of us when it comes to social media and social media trends. But, bless their hearts, the adult Duggar daughters tend to give it their all, especially when it comes to shilling products for a profit. For many of them, it’s a dedicated source of income, after all.
So when Joy-Anna Duggar posted a video of herself on Instagram lip-syncing to the song “What You Won’t Do for Love” by Bobby Caldwell, it was a little much. Especially when the video went on for far longer than what some people were comfortable with. It was really a matter of secondhand embarrassment, which some agreed with on a Reddit post about Joy-Anna’s video.
Joy-Anna Duggar always seems to miss the mark for her relatable mom moments.
In the video, Joy-Anna lip-syncs for quite a while, all while standing in the middle of her living room. There’s text on the screen that says, “POV: You tried to quit caffeine…and missed her immediately.” Oh, and Joy-Anna is also wearing extremely dark over-sized sunglasses in the video. So yeah, it’s cringe all around.
Someone commented on the Reddit post with, “At first I was like, ‘lol relatable’ about caffeine but then the video just…kept going. This should have been at max a 15 second clip.”
Another added, “This is what happens when you never had teenage years.”
That does bring up a bigger issue here. For most of the teen and even preteen years of the Duggar daughters, they were the older buddies to younger siblings. They also didn’t really get access to social media like they have now. It’s almost like they’re making up for lost time.
Towards the end of the video, Joy-Anna has an iced coffee that she appears to sing to. You know, because of the caffeine joke. And it might have worked, if the video hadn’t gone on for just a bit too long.
Most people find her to be a bit cringe.
Joy-Anna tends to be a cringe queen in general, where Duggar snarkers are concerned. It’s not like this particular video is anything new for Joy-Anna in particular. She does often post videos with music to get a point across, whether she is trying on outfits with a discount code or just sharing a DIY project. But that doesn’t mean people aren’t going to talk about it.
“Mother is gyrating,” a Redditor joked.
“As a Millennial, I embrace cringe but this should have been an email lol,” another person joked.
And when someone wrote that, technically, Joy-Anna is Gen Z, “Fundies are 20 years behind so Millennial tracks!”
One can only assume that Joy-Anna is policing her Instagram comments, though. Under the original video on her profile, there is nothing but encouragement for Joy-Anna’s pro-caffeine video. Apparently, as cringe as she can be, Joy-Anna still has dedicated fans and followers.
But the same can be said for other Duggar daughters too.
Joy-Anna isn’t the only adult Duggar daughter who posts videos full of cringe. Jinger often posts videos that seem to have the idea of being hashtag relatable, but they are more cringe than anything. Eldest daughter Jana Duggar’s Instagram also features lots of “quirky” facial expressions and captions that feel a little off to some. But it seems to be the trend among the Duggar girls once they grow up.
