One girl’s selfies have recently gone viral, but not for the reason you might think. They went viral because of her dad, specifically, her dad’s selfies.

Chris ‘Burr’ Martin of Spokane, Washington, noticed his daughter Cassie had been posting “sexy” selfies of herself online. So, instead of telling her to stop, he decided to recreate them in a hilarious spoof.

So my daughter has been posting sexy selfies of herself and instead of telling her to stop, well, I thought of something better. #dadbod #dadselfie

Martin goes so far as to draw Cassie’s tattoos on himself using permanent marker and even dons crop tops and eye makeup. He also recreates any props she uses, such as the crown of leaves seen below.

The pictures have gone viral, receiving thousands of comments on each, and Martin has amassed over 15,000 followers on Instagram.

In one picture he jokes that the marker took him three days to get off.

Took me 3 days to get all the ink off.lol

A while ago some of you saw i was copying the photos my daughter would post on her Facebook, mainly because i told her it looked like she was trying to escort Japanese businessmen and to tone it down. She did a little but i still kept it up because sometimes I'm just bored. So heres the latest. #nailedit #baddad

Martin told Us that the reactions have been pretty funny, although some have accused him of being mean.

“A few have called me a jerk, but I don’t think they get it. We’ve kind of always made fun of each other in our family,” he said.

Cassie said it’s all been a good laugh.

“My dad is a huge comedian in the family so when he did the pictures it was a huge laugh,” she said. “The funniest reaction I get is from people my age hoping their parents don’t know how to work the internet so they can’t jump [on] the trend my dad has started.”

Cassie is not the only one in the family who Martin’s mocked. He recently posted a picture to celebrate his son’s birthday.

Happy birthday to my boy

We’d say that’s pretty spot on.
