    I haven’t been on here for long, but so far, this is one of three honestly awkward family pics. It’s spectacular
    The rest, quite bluntly, are slightly odd, but not awkward, especially compared to this gem

  2. _paegan_ says:

    Son looks way too happy spooning mom.

  3. Hurrdurr says:

    first post hurrr durr

  4. goose says:

    also a bit awkward how mom puts her set right in her son’s face.

  5. DC says:

    where’s Dad’s hand?

  6. Mike says:

    “I put my hand up on your hip. When I dip, you dip, we dip.”

  7. Sola says:

    Good god, and they all look just like her, too.

  8. grant says:

    very awkward.

  9. Cee says:

    Is the whole family going to prom?

  10. Jenny Young says:

    wtf? Do these families all go to prom together and then go to get their photos taken? My family never dressed like for an appearance at the Sears portrait studio.

  11. Who says:

    is this Bernie Madoff?

  12. Maggs says:

    Mom: Lil Timmy was hard pressed to find another woman like her

  13. Terry says:

    This one looks just fine to me. I think that those who come from unaffectionate families may have the most difficulty with this one. The sons hand is on his mom’s waist not her breast nor ass.

  14. Dave says:

    The son in front has just been forked by dad. Mom is being propped up after hearing this news. See how happy lil’ Timmy in front is now? Nothing Lassie could do would ever match what has happened to this family. And the daughter (actually a niece stepping in for the daughter who couldn’t make this photo shoot due to giving birth) is way too happy, too. She wants to watch.

  15. JJR says:

    How else should the older son place his hand? Down mom’s leg instead? They do seem a little scrunched in tight, but ok, whatever. I’m guessing all 3 kids went to prom, and mom & dad were the chaperons.

  16. EJ says:

    You have it all wrong, this is two families: The older couple use to be married and had the son in the middle but now are divorced. This is a “modern family” so the guy on the right is not the woman’s son but her new young lover – you can tell byt he way he is pulling her into his crotch. The girl on the left is the older man’s new bride, sweet 16 and married. Don’t they look happy…

  17. nasus says:

    Little Guido is excited that he just got “Made”. He’s going to launder his money through his mom Carmelas’ bustling Pro-Cuts salon.

  18. Sonia says:

    Maybe the kid with the cozy hand placement is the daughter’s date!

  19. JK says:

    What is Mrs. Soprano doing in this family photo?

  20. michelle says:

    um… awk-ward. seriously, debating the funniness of photos, not funny. debating the appropriateness of hand placement between family members, definitely awkward.

  21. thenoz says:

    You would hit it dont lie LMAO

  22. Halloween Jack says:

    “Affectionate” =/= “dirty dancing.”

  23. Tumu says:

    This photo shoud’ve been named ‘The Aristocrats’…

  24. JT says:

    Keeping it in the family… heh heh.

  25. DH says:

    You guys are ALL WRONG.
    The whole family going to prom? Nope.
    Dysfunctional family arrangement? Nope.

    This pic, my friends, is a BAR MITZVAH PIC. The young boy in the center is the Bar Mitzvah boy–he has just turned 13 and is now officially a man, and will hopefully follow in the footsteps of big brother.

    If you haven’t been exposed to Bar Mitzvahs, the sad truth is that basically ALL Bar Mitzvah photos are this awkward, if not worse.

  26. So THAT’s how it is in their family….
    LUURRVE your website!

  27. Martinez Ho says:

    The Aristocrats!

  28. Anne says:

    I think his hand on her shoulder would have been a better choice, but I’m sure they weren’t thinking about this when the picture was being taken.

  29. Nate M says:

    say what you will, Mom’s a fox! I wonder what he’s doing with his other hand..

  30. joel says:

    Coo, Coo, Cachoo Mrs. Robinson! Skippy up front is beaming because he knows his older brother will be leaving for college soon.

  31. Bryanna says:

    HAHA! You could kick a FIELD GOAL through that space in his tooth!!!! Love it!

  32. Jaakko says:

    It’s gotta be him! Check out the link!

  33. Matt says:

    Is that Keith Oberman and Eddie Falco(wife on Sopranos)?

  34. Gwen says:

    Hey look it’s Joseph Gordon Levitt!

  35. KAYSiE NiCKOlE says:

    wow, so they all graduated together and took eachother to prom!! how exciting!! =]

  36. Lori says:

    Why the conehead?

  37. This Guy says:

    Son’s face says it all, “You know you feel that and LIKE it, Mom!”

  38. Kerri says:

    OH my gosh..I burst out laughing…thank you……thank you …..thank you for the giggles!

  39. Nicole says:

    Is that Keith Olbermann?

  40. Erin says:

    The daughter’s hair is awkward enough for everybody.

  41. Christina says:

    It’s possible that she’s one of those rich women who drinks a little… all day long. Perhaps her son is just steadying her. Later, someone grabs a bucket…

  42. Law says:

    Why does the daughter look different?

  43. Sandra says:

    Why are they dressed like this? My family never got all prom status for a family photo.

  44. MadMax says:

    The father looks like the guy from american pie xD

  45. Mrs Darcy says:

    Dad looks like the “American Pie” Dad.

  46. J Diggity says:

    the guy on the right looks like the Miz from Real world New York a few years back.

  47. Jay says:

  48. Tracey says:
