This guy worked for Pleasant Hawaiian Holiday’s in the 80′s. I have a picture of me, my grandmother and her sister with him from our vacation in 1983. Good times!
This was traditional Hawaiian vacation material back in the 80′s. I live in Hawaii and am not sure where this was taken, but the old places had beams all over the place giving that open air feeling so it’s possible that he’s got light on his middle part and she doesn’t. Plus mauve was the color of the day not desaturation! My nana had a similar type of picture with her and Don Ho.
I went to Hawaii on an escorted tour with friends in 1979 when I was 23. After traveling hours from Ohio to get to Honolulu, on arrival at your hotel you get your picture taken — the women with a young man, the men with a young woman. The next morning the photos are posted in the Hotel Lobby for your purchase. Not one person on my entire tour (about 50 people) bought the pictures since we all looked like death warmed over and the local Hawaiian people were all tan and rested. I can’t believe anyone buys those vacation photos.
Ok this is totally photoshopped. The lighting on granny’s face is totally wrong for the rest of the shot. plus, somebody desaturated the color on her suit.
Have to agree with a few people on it being photoshopped..Why the hell is the guys hair have sun shining on it, and her doesnt?? It just doesnt look real. But it is funny!
People have been talking a lot about altered pictures. Do you know the fable “The Boy Who Cried Photoshop”? One day he came across a real photoshopped picture and guess what, no one believed him. We haven´t heard from him since.
When I saw this I almost spit Dr. Pepper all over my keyboard. I have an almost identical picture of my granny taken back in 1986 when she went to Hawaaii with her senior citizen group. How sad that 23 years later, I’m still living vicariously through my granny. LOL, I probably need to duplicate this post on FML.
I have a picture just like this of my Grandma and some Hawaiian with a Lei. It was in the 80′s as well. She’s not around anymore, but its nice to have the photo of her vaca. It’s cute. They must have a booth set up or something for the older ladies to take photos of their cruise.
No, there weren’t naked people in this photo.. there was a previous post from Saturday night that had a naked couple and they removed it from the site lol
hahaha, that’s too bad because it was sooo funny and awkward.
No, there was a picture that was posted before this one of a naked (I think) couple (although everything was covered), and it seems to have disappeared.
It’s possible. But there’s nothing to suggest it “definitely” is. Moreover if you were to go through all the trouble of photoshopping something like this, don’t you think you’d make it a little more zany?
I think people are too quick to make this accusation on here. They’re like “awkward family photo” conspiracy theorists.
besides the lack of photoshop in ’85. Let’s explore the possibility of a backdrop at some tourist stand. They do it left and right at Myrtle Beach (and I’m sure many other tourist traps)

“You’re never too old to get lei-d” OMG I laughed my head off when I read that caption!
Hawaii 5-0? More like Hawaii 8-0 (years old)
Aah, this made me lol.
The little old lady from Pasadena.
Grandma meets King Komeonyawanaleime

Looks like he got his chest a little too close to the Shave Ice Machine!
I think the caption makes the photo…
OWWWW YEA! I’ll never forget Hawaii 1985.
Grandma has a sweater on in Hawaii?
i love how awkward the placement of the 1985 is. haaaa
I am positive that my mom a photo with this exact same guy. Flashback central!

Certainly calls for a compound bow.
Oh goodness… my parents went to Hawaii for their honeymoon in 1984, and they took a photo at a tourist stand with this exact same man in it!
My Dad went to Hawaii in 1994 and had his picture taken with THIS WOMAN!!! SHE’S the draw there – not the natives!!
Umm … this looks like my Great-Grandmother, for real. How funny!
awesome photo…. it makes me want to go to hawaiii but I just can’t put my finger on.why I want to go
I’m a little tempted to go to hawaii now…
That’s the HAWAII 5-0 MUSTACHE doncha know?
Oh my gosh, I think I have a picture of my aunt with that same guy! Hahaha.
not awkward. AWESOME! go gramma!
I see grandma’s right hand, but, where is her left hand….. hmmmm

Is it just me or the guy looks like the father of vilder valderrama? (fes in that 70′s show)
Ok this is totally photoshopped. The lighting on granny’s face is totally wrong for the rest of the shot. plus, somebody desaturated the color on her suit.
Very funny but probably photoshopped. The light on the woman’s face doesn’t match the light on the guy.
Naughty grandma!…………….naughty grandma!
Grandma with a young Erik Estrada when he was the sun tan lotion application boy at the tiki hut in Miami, fla.
Have to agree with a few people on it being photoshopped..Why the hell is the guys hair have sun shining on it, and her doesnt?? It just doesnt look real. But it is funny!

I don’t understand why you people get all emotional when people say a photo is “photoshopped”.
I was trying to make a photoshop joke, but apparently I did not succeed. Sorry, I´ll stick to compound bow jokes from now on.
Aesop, you succeeded. I laughed out loud when I read your post (and I have the coffee on the keyboard to prove it).
Better lei’d than never ?
Am sure she was a big Don Ho fan..
When I saw this I almost spit Dr. Pepper all over my keyboard. I have an almost identical picture of my granny taken back in 1986 when she went to Hawaaii with her senior citizen group.

Did someone say “Cougar?”
OMG!
Someone in the back whispered GIGOLO
rock on granny
Grandma just coulsn’t believe her luck – who’d've thought she’d meet the kid who would go on to play Fez on “That’ 70′s Show”?
I have a picture just like this of my Grandma and some Hawaiian with a Lei. It was in the 80′s as well. She’s not around anymore, but its nice to have the photo of her vaca. It’s cute. They must have a booth set up or something for the older ladies to take photos of their cruise.
Why have you all mentioned Naked people? Were there Naked people in this photo also? Now THAT would make it awkward!
No, there was a SWEET studio picture of a naked couple wearing bad jewlery that once stood where Grandma’s Groove is now.
No, there weren’t naked people in this photo.. there was a previous post from Saturday night that had a naked couple and they removed it from the site lol
hahaha, that’s too bad because it was sooo funny and awkward.
No, there was a picture that was posted before this one of a naked (I think) couple (although everything was covered), and it seems to have disappeared.
they are not related.
but maybe grandma brought a toyboy as husband form her hawaii-vacation
This one is definitely photoshopped… not incredibly well, either.
Really? I don’t see anything that would suggest it’s photoshopped.
how is this photoshopped??
Check out the shadows
Yup. True awkwardness comes from deep within our natural selves, not from the cut and paste tool
It’s possible. But there’s nothing to suggest it “definitely” is. Moreover if you were to go through all the trouble of photoshopping something like this, don’t you think you’d make it a little more zany?
I think people are too quick to make this accusation on here. They’re like “awkward family photo” conspiracy theorists.
Hey – I submitted this and it definitely wasn’t photoshopped. I found this pic at my parents house years ago…..
besides the lack of photoshop in ’85. Let’s explore the possibility of a backdrop at some tourist stand. They do it left and right at Myrtle Beach (and I’m sure many other tourist traps)
The Hawaii 1985 can be done with Windows Paint much less photoshop. Doesn’t prove a thing
I believe it is photoshopped as well, i think her head is way oversized for the body.. theres multiple other reasons why i believe it is
Yes… what happened to the naked people? Did it exceed awkwardness?
Yeah, I want to know what happened to them, too. Please bring them back (but keep this picture, too).
nice lei.
NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grandma still got it!
I’m loving the subtitles on these pictures – somebody’s GOOD.
They’re half the fun.
I know where this is – just minutes from my Aunt’s place – and I remember this guy. He was darn cute in the ’80s.
Also, naked couple missing!
grandma and fez….WATCH out!!!
Oh my – he DOES look like Fez!!!
HA!!!!!
“I said Good day!”
This one looks like steve coogan!!!
where did the naked people go???
I even linked the naked couple on my facebook, but the link no longer works. Someone thought it was too awkward.
How can you have that much hair on your head and none on your chest?
Are you talking about the gran
Hahaha!!
HA!
wax
Why is this a family photo? Awkward, sure, but I’m thinking these 2 are not related.
well, they are both part of somebody’s family….! family photo!…
LMAO! That’s a great response!
because she’s someone’s grandma I am sure of it. YoWza on the man though!!
I think they make a great couple.
