Basic Instructions started out as a small side-feature Scott Meyer created to entertain people who came to his website looking to hire a comedian. It wasn't long before the comic was far more popular than anything Scott ever did as a comedian.
Basic Instructions is a series of guides meant to help you lead a better life. They cover topics as diverse as "How to Deal with Boredom" and "How to Travel Back in Time to Deliver a Dire Warning to Your Former Self". Basic Instructions is populated with exaggerated versions of Scott, his family and his friends, which has caused no small amount of unpleasantness.

Try working in an office where you’re the only native English speaker. EVERY joke needs an explanation.

Having seen the boss, I’n not sure about the ponies, but I kind of believe the part about the boys.

Is this poking fun at bronies?

I don’t tell jokes myself. So this is just strange to me.
