Instead of telling her to stop posting the photos or giving her a lengthy lecture, the Spokane, Washington-based comedian creatively decided to take some selfies of his own.

"I did it because she posted something and the guys in the comment section were too much," Martin said. "So to put water on the fire, I posted one like it and said, 'What about me, guys?' and that did it."
