These Awkward Family Photos Are So Bad They’re Good
Awkward family photos might be embarrassing in the moment, but after a decade or two, they're priceless. These funny photos had us missing the '90s.
Think your family photoshoot turned out poorly? You’re wrong. You’re so, so wrong. We aren’t sure whose idea these photos were, but someone should have stopped them.
Or maybe not … just for the entertainment value. Restore some of your self-esteem with these awkward family photos. This level of awkwardness is an achievement.
Want to Make an Awkward Family Photo Even More Awkward?
Add fake potted plants and live rabbits. The bunnies themselves are the least awkward part of this photo. It gets weirder from there. The poses. The plants that don’t even match each other.
On the upside, this couple must be very happy together because if their relationship survived this photoshoot it can survive anything.
This One Belongs on the Mantel
Grandma will have a field day. We wouldn’t actually consider this one awkward. It’s hilariously real.
Only people who don’t have kids are concerned about the toddler. He’s totally fine, minus the emotional damage.
Merry Christmas! Run.
“They see you when you’re sleeping. They know when you’re awake.”
The hairstyles were the norm back then, but the angle? Just, why?
There Has to Be a Story Behind This Awkward Family Photo
You know there is. We’d bet that the kid on the left was randomly obsessed with that mask and refused to take it off for the photo.
That’s the only good reason we can think of.
Even the Dog Knows This Photoshoot Is Questionable
His face says, “OMG, why are you so obsessed with me?”
We love dogs, but this is extreme even for us.
When the Theme of Prom Is Barnyard Chic
We respect these young ladies, picking up their dates for prom instead of the other way around.
Afterward, they’ll take them to dinner…
What in the Twilight?
We’re not sure in what world howling at the moon looks good on camera, but it’s not this one.
The Cat’s Face Says It All
The cat is the only sane one in the photo.
We really hope this was a “Lion King” themed Halloween costume because, if not, Simba needs to make a call to PETA.
This Man Has Never Smiled in His Life
Not on his birthday. Not on his wedding day.
Never.
Celebrate the Season With the Ones You Love
Not because you enjoy hanging out with them but because you’ll need someone to treat your bite wounds to the face.
Festive, right?
Ever Wonder What It Looks Like When a Garden Throws Up?
Now you know.
The best part is that none of them seem to realize how awkward this looks.
The Backstory Behind This Awkward Family Photo Must Be Amazing
Who’s idea was it? Mom’s face says, “I don’t get the alternative lifestyle, but pretending I do is the only way to get my teenagers to participate in the holidays.”
We respect that because they’ll treasure this one for decades.
When Your Kid Is Obsessed With Karate, so You Get on the Bandwagon
You know they went to Pizza Hut after this photoshoot without changing clothes first.
Unsure Whether This Photo Is a Disaster or a Win
If the goal was for a young bride to mourn her deceased beloved by snuggling his corpse, then mission accomplished.
At Least We Know What to Get This Bunch for Christmas
A gift card for either Ray-Bans or Lasik.
Or maybe just some sweaters that don’t look like an old rug.
Speaking of Questionable Outfits, What on Earth Is This?!
Actually, we know the answer. This is what two amazing grandsons look like.
Their grandma didn’t want to hang up the drapes that matched the couch, so she used the fabric to make her grandkids matching outfits.
Do You Think They Like Denim?
We can’t tell.
Maybe if they added denim baseball caps, we’d know for sure.
There’s Nothing Explicitly Wrong With This Portrait
Except for everything. It looks like four random people and a dog were pulled off the street and forced to pose for a fake family photo.
The dog is the best actor.
And Best of All…
The awkward family photo of the year: a dad and his duck. This isn’t awkward. This is epic. These two are legends. We want to be them.
