Awkward Family Photos


It's more a chuckle at the weirdness than LOL at the hilarity sort of site, but I've recently spent a few happy minutes perusing the wares at http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com. It is what it sounds like, and for better of worse the photos are the attraction; whoever's running the site has the lack of words/good sense not to add value/detract from the photos with amusing/annoying captions. A few samples that caught my eye.


Whose idea was this? I like to think the photographer came up with it, instead of one (or more) of the family members. But did the photog mean it as a joke, or at least some sort of ironic commentary?


One of the surprising things to me about these photos is how often one of the celebrants provokes a legitimate, "It's Pat!" moment. I could not make a strong argument as to the gender of the human on the left. I'm leaning male, since there appears to be a downy layer of arm hair, and since the other one is clearly a woman. And she doesn't look dyke-y. On the other hand... sandals. KD Lang hair. And a pot-bellied pig... in a t-shirt?


The funny thing about this photo, which I've seen online for years, is that the dad actually looks the best. He's got a very masculine, Fabio/Bon Jovi vibe going, and an engaging smile. Only the pirate shirt/chest hair argues against him. On the other hand, the mom looks lobotomized, pebble-toothed, and her bangs could spur an international dispute, and not just over hair spray quotas. The child is just tragic, and, one hopes, an amnesiac.


At first glance this one's enough to convince you that Hitler was right, but just on the wrong side of the "white people or not" debate. At a closer look though, they don't appear to be chromosomally-deficient. The girl has a sweet face, and the guy might even be good looking in a baby-faced sort of way, despite sporting perhaps the worst short hair style ever devised for a Caucasian male. I'm a little puzzled as to why his body is orange while his face is pasty white, but I'm guessing a bit too much powder and bad studio lighting.

As for the pose... well, she's got nice skin, and it's only the second stupidest thing this young couple has ever done.

In the second photo the left person is clearly a guy - look at his nose.
