Awkward Pose of the Week: The Pile On
May 27th, 2009
This is for that close-knit group that is so close that they are literally on top of one another. Uncomfortable? Quite the opposite… for they ain’t heavy, they’re my brother and my mother.

Interesting that it looks like it says “Glamour Snots”.
I just found this website today and I LOVE it. The pictures keep getting better and better. I think I have almost peed twice. Awkward is a understatement. FUNNY!!!! This is better than the best comedians on TV right now. Purely classic….and the comments make me laugh even harder. I have to check them and look back at the pictures. You catch something new every time. Keep’em coming!!!
Do you think this is the simplest way to make your point?
Oh yeah, that looks natural! What was the photographer thinking??
Hey, does anyone notice that the background is the same as the “WATCHMAN” in a banana hammock?
jenny… the first kid in history to be totally justified
to tell her mother to get off her back.
I want to be that dude
Someone get the compound bow!
One thing I love about this is that someone had to decide which person on the bottom could best take the weight of the mother, as opposed to her son. “Hmm…. Which one of these girls is sturdier?”
When you’re making decisions like that, you *know* it’s a good idea.
This is wrong in soooooo many ways!
When my brother and I got pictures taken at Target last year for our parents we asked if we could do a funny picture too and asked if she had any suggestions. This was the same pose she suggested we do. I couldn’t believe it. Needless to say, that wasn’t about to happen! It’s just strange especially when it is immediate family! My brother and I are close and all, but not THAT close!
Gahh, so wrong on SO many levels. O.O
haha wow.
hahaha i totally have a picture like this! except it’s two children piled on top of me. hhahahaa i wish i had it i’d post it on here
Cute girls
“These are my two girls and my son, Woody”
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The son looks like a younger version of Sam on the photo “Awkward Set Up”
The sisters are gritting their teeth, waiting for the picture to be done so they don’t have to hold hands anymore.
Why is the mom on top of the daughter? Takes a whole new spin to putting her down.
the mom looks like Lavern from Lavern and Shirley
It’s really upsetting to see that no one noticed this as being Photo-Shopped. Clearly. Come on. The family took seperate paired pictures, obviously. This only counts as an awkward family photo when you’ve messed around with it, clearly not the point of the site. On a side note, I would totally love to be the receptionist for your Awkward Shots photo place =D
You clearly know nothing about photoshop, or photos, if you think that. Stick to your dreams of being a receptionist.
I think they misunderstood the meaning of the phrase “bonding time.”
why do the two pairs have matching pants? on the left- blue jeans; on the right-leopard print black jeans. Just to add to the awkwardness…
HAhahahahahaha
The epitome of awkward!
open-face famwich.
ROFL!
fantastic!
This is… so wrong. It makes me physically uncomfortable just to look at it. Weird and funny.
It’s hella glamorous… GEEZ… Can’t you tell by the animal print scarf belt?? Come on guys…
It’s very glamorous… CHEESH! You can’t tell by the animal print scarf belt?? Come on guys…
Wow.
Just wow.
haha yeah i wouldn’t see this picture and think glamour.
This word, “glamour”. It doesn’t mean what you think it means.
i’ve never seen a family Glamour Shot before…
My favorite glamour shot pose (if asked) is the behind the back glance when dressed in a off the shoulder number. Also the holding out the shirt collar pose in contrast to the over large shoulder pads. TImeless.
I feel squished looking at this and not in a good “Hollywood Squares” way.
I love your site! The photos are very funny! I laughed too!
The Bonaduces were a very close-knit family as Danny (top left) can attest to…
Ha HA! thats hilarious!
The girl on the left looks SO happy to have her little brother lying on her back.
Seriously what happend to Loaded weapon!?!?
WOW!! This might be the most awkward photo on this site. Physically and emotionally.
EXCUSE ME…what the hell happened to the Loaded Weapon pic?!?!?
THAT WAS THE BEST ONE!! *cry*
That is exactly what I was wondering??????? WTF
Uh oh. Someone must have tipped Dirty Harry off. I hope we get a followup post with the scoop.
yes, where is the loaded weapon???? Please someone tell my why it was removed?
i thought that photo was wonderfully poetic… miss it
The man who had the gun saw it posted and wanted it OFF this website!! LOL
That was one of the best ones so far! I, too, am wondering where it went. Bring it back!
i would pay a monthly fee to view this site if you promised never to take pictures off… loaded weapon is GONE, armshelf family on the beach is GONE… these are classics and should not be removed!!
Lot of talk about that. Sorry I missed it!!
What photographer says “hey kid go lay on top of your sister”
Seriously!!!!
LOL! Hey! Stacking families is an art form in….well, no where really.:)
“Stacking Families” That sounds like the name of a video I accidentally rented once…twelve times….
Depends on the genre of magazine you’re talking about.
Aw, that’s cute. The son’s hair is just like mom’s!
oof!
I call this a Family Sandwich of Love.
“Family Sandwich of Love” – I just choked on what I was drinking!!!
Hilarious!!!
Let’s just hope that OctoMom doesn’t try this one
Hahhhahhahahhaaaaa – hahhhhhhhhhhhahahhaa
HA!!! I can’t even imagine what that would look like!
The face of that boy sais everything…
and a little too much is my guess
Another good one cheryl.
Well that is a typical Glamour Shots pose…leopard print…crawling on the ground…
So true!! Years ago I decided to have my pic. made there as a gift for my husbands birthday. They put tons of make up on me, ratted & sprayed my hair and did 3 ‘looks’…. leather… fuzzy sweater… and a huge feathery boa…
You got to look at the proofs right after the sitting…
All I could do was laugh- and with every proof, I would laugh harder until tears were streaming down my face- I looked like a madam in a bordello!
They didn’t appreciate that AT ALL- ha!
Wouldn’t expect any less from a place called Glamour Shots. Thinking about opening a place myself, Awkward Shots, is it taken already? I bet it is.
I would LOVE to have my picture taken at AWKWARD SHOTS. My husband and I have to go to Walmart… they usually don’t understand the joke.
count me in too! i’ll get our matching sweaters ready.
Awesome!!
With your AGE emblazoned on it!!
can anyone say, “spam”?
“spam, spam, spam, spam… you can have eggs and spam, sausage and spam or ham and spam…”
Really? I thought your post was exceptionally well written, too! Did you really lose thirty pounds in thirty days? Tremendous! I’d love to hear more about that. As you mentioned…it appears like there is more depth here for later posts. Wow, your avatar sure is cute!
Anyone thought of spamming them back?
There is nothing NOT funny about this comment.
HER pic is an awkward photo, too!
