Adam Waheed's Instagram Reels, broken down

What this is

Adam Waheed has 12,299,862 followers on Instagram, read from the profile on 30 September 2026. He is sixtieth on our list of the biggest Instagram accounts belonging to creators rather than celebrities, athletes or brands. Scrptly analysed his five best-performing Reels.

Five Reels. 101,873,841 views between them. All five posted between 8 August and 13 September 2026, so this is five weeks of output.

101.9 million from 12.3 million followers

That is eight views for every follower, across five Reels, and it is the best ratio of any creator on this site. For comparison, Avani Gregg has 14,828,338 followers and her five did 1,505,276.

Same order of audience. Sixty seven times the reach.

The opening is a picture, not a line

Two of the five have no words at all in the first seconds. One is a man drinking coffee while something goes wrong behind him. Another is three people confronting someone while a fourth quietly drinks tea.

Both are the same shape: a calm person in frame, chaos happening around them, and no explanation. The joke is the gap between the two halves of the image, and it does not need a language.

The ones that do speak open mid sentence

"Yeah, I know. I'm on the way. No, my phone's on 1%." is a phone call already in progress, and everybody has had it. 19,903,739 views.

"Laptops, tablets, out of the bags. Let's keep it moving." is airport security, said by someone doing their job. You are inside a queue before you know there is a sketch.

These are short

The five run 19, 11, 39, 11 and 18 seconds, so 1 minute 38 seconds in total. Two of them are eleven seconds. His second and fourth biggest, at 22.2 and 14.9 million, are both eleven second visual jokes.

The hooks he uses

What you can copy

• Put two contradictory things in one frame. His two wordless Reels did 37 million between them.
• Eleven seconds is enough for a complete joke, twice over on this page.
• Start the phone call already in progress. Nobody needs the first half of a conversation they have had themselves.
• A hook with no words in it cannot be lost in translation, which is part of why these numbers are what they are.
