Hannah Stocking's Instagram Reels, broken down
Five Reels, 171.2 million views, and the biggest one has no words in it at all.
What this is
Hannah Stocking has 26,748,086 followers on Instagram, read from the profile on 21 September 2026. She is twenty second on our list of the biggest Instagram accounts belonging to creators rather than celebrities, athletes or brands. Scrptly analysed her five best-performing Reels.
Five Reels. 171,151,659 views between them. Posted between 30 June and 31 August 2026. That is more than the other two creators in this batch, Riyaz Aly and Chiara Ferragni, managed between them.
Each line is the transcribed audio from the opening seconds. The first card has no line because the Reel has no spoken words, so the opening shot is described instead.
Opening shot
No spoken words. A visual pun built on the caption, "I'm forehead over heels with you".

Her biggest Reel has no dialogue
69,077,431 views on a 65 second video with nothing spoken in it. It is a visual joke, and it is on its own worth nearly as much as all five Reels in our Jake Paul breakdown put together.
It is also the longest of her five by a distance. A silent video that holds someone for 65 seconds is doing something a caption cannot do, which is making them wait for the payoff.
Four of the five are one joke each
The other four run 20, 19, 13 and 36 seconds. Each is a single premise carried to a single punchline: the sunburn on the way home, the two countries facing off, the trick with the eyes, the noise made out of the wrong object. Nothing is explained on the way in and nothing is summarised on the way out.
The 47.2 million one is a collaboration with Lele Pons, whose own Reels we broke down separately. Both of them build the same way.
The hooks she uses
| Hook pattern | What it does | From which Reel |
|---|---|---|
| Show the wrong thing immediately | The first frame contains something visibly off, and the viewer stays to find out why. No line is needed and in her biggest Reel no line is used. | The 69.1M visual pun. |
| A borrowed sound everyone already knows | The track is doing the recognition work, so her first frame can be the joke instead of the setup. | The Jet2 holiday audio, 47.2M views. |
| Ask permission to start | "Okay, ready?" tells the viewer something is about to happen and asks them to stay two more seconds for it. | The eye trick, 16.8M views. |
What you can copy
- Try the version with no words. If the joke survives being silent it will travel further, because nothing has to be translated.
- One premise per video. Her four shorter Reels each carry exactly one, and none of them explains itself first.
- Let a known sound do the recognition. It frees your first frame to be the joke rather than the introduction.
- Length is allowed if you are making people wait on purpose. Her longest is also her biggest.
