Probably the merger of a 2 families from previous marriages, though it’s not unusual to see sibs who look nothing alike (taking after just one parent).
“Don’t sit under the Awkward tree, with anyone else but me, anyone else but, anyone else but meeee…” Glen Miller’s original lyrics were found to be too…awkward for their generation.
I know what mall photo studio chain took this pic, as I used to work for them… this was one of their “standard” poses that we were allowed to do. Looking back, I’m appalled that they encouraged such awkwardness, hahaha.
This photographer has got some skills, not only is there an arm shelf, but notice the down on one knee on both sides, followed up with a lean on the leg… on both sides! Genius!
The guys on the ends are attempting the “quadruple knee shelf with a reverse twist”, but oh no! the mullet on the right could not complete the “full self hand grab”…completing with only the “index finger grab”…nice try boys, nice try…
You nailed it. I’m glad I read your comment before posting a similar one. I would correct you on one thing, it’s a double knee shelf chair back straddle. Good catch on the botched wrist grab
No, it’s definately quad knee shelf ( 2 self knee, 2 partner) but I DID miss the chair back straddle…sometimes they just move so fast to catch it. Thanks for the point out!
I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one bothered by that! Why are the two guys on the outside leaning on the thighs of the guy in the middle? I think that’s awkward.
That background is certainly a shade of blue not found in nature or in any clothing not found at your local Goodwill. (not dissing Goodwill, just a joke )
What’s up with Backwards-Chair-Sitter’s twisted pantleg? That can’t be comfortable. He and Mullet oughta trade shoes. Solid black (possibly velcro?) walking shoes with light blue jeans just doesn’t go.
I do think they’re all related (or at least share the same mother) – I can see the resemblance around their eyes.
I wonder if that poor girl had to iron all their shirts before the photo shoot.

If all those kids are in the same family……..I’d have to have a VERY long talk with the mother…….
I swear I was gonna comment on the same thing. Well said Bizzle my hizzle.
Probably the merger of a 2 families from previous marriages, though it’s not unusual to see sibs who look nothing alike (taking after just one parent).
Maybe they were all adopted.
At least she could check on her cleaning
once again, the tagline is even funnier than the picture. good call.
The man with the mustache looks like husband.
No wedding ring on the girl.
who’s the wife?
Emily enjoyed her stay with Vic Bob and Jon, she was treated just like part of the furniture.
love the shoes on the guy to the right
super-tight laces for casual activities are awkward
so well said.
The man on the right’s right foot is awkward in its own right. Right?
I think i saw this family on “America’s Got Talent”.
Yeah, and the guy with the mullet looks like captor.
“Don’t sit under the Awkward tree, with anyone else but me, anyone else but, anyone else but meeee…” Glen Miller’s original lyrics were found to be too…awkward for their generation.
LOL…cute
mmm. mullet-y goodness.
Her three dads.
it’s a “mamma mia!” just like on 30 rock… or mamma mia.
how are these people related!?
Judging by their faces, the real question is “how aren’t these people related?”
Oh awesome! The show “My Three Dads” is making a comeback!
maybe they are co-workers…
I know what mall photo studio chain took this pic, as I used to work for them… this was one of their “standard” poses that we were allowed to do. Looking back, I’m appalled that they encouraged such awkwardness, hahaha.
Those guys are a little creepy.
a little?
Mullet, sneakers, mustache and a shelf… all the ingredients to throw you back in the 80’s…
It appears mustache man’s hair is hovering
You are very right.
Today on “Lifetime”….
To add to that,not to be confused with “The People Under the Stairs”. Different family.
This photographer has got some skills, not only is there an arm shelf, but notice the down on one knee on both sides, followed up with a lean on the leg… on both sides! Genius!
oh good lord, how did I miss the double arm shelf.
and now that I’ve seen it – EWWW!!!
Looks like the guy on the right didn’t get the memo about wearing blue. Combo breaker!
Awkward Band Photo 2- “Emily & The Enforcers”
Good Call!
Not what I expected the government’s top team of assassins to look like.
I was stunned to see noone replied. A quality comment.
And a very nice use of a double elbow-to-leg shelf by the guys.
The guys on the ends are attempting the “quadruple knee shelf with a reverse twist”, but oh no! the mullet on the right could not complete the “full self hand grab”…completing with only the “index finger grab”…nice try boys, nice try…
Thank you for that!! I don’t think I have laughed that hard in a long time!!! High Five!

stop it…oh my god I can’t stop laughing with all of your awkward lingo…!!!
In order for the photographer to get all that 80’s hair/mullet in one picture Emily needed to hit the floor
my 3 dads. . .??
they look like they are holding her captive….can someone please check on her. Thank You
This photo represents the widest variety of hairstyles in a single photo on this site.
I, too, was going to comment on the hairstyles. MUCH more disturbing than that poor girl under the chair.
It’s not the arm shelf that bothers me so much as the two thigh shelves.
I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one bothered by that! Why are the two guys on the outside leaning on the thighs of the guy in the middle? I think that’s awkward.
looks like a family mugshot. They all look so tired from being on the run for so long
Yep, they’re from the South!
Well, Emily sure knows her place in the family.
Why are their elbows on his leg? Ewwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!! Unless?? This one is jacking me up big time.
Man on the chair looks like he dribbled.
Nice collection of hair styles.
Mullet, black jeans, and white sneakers…nice!!! But why the button down shirt? It must be covering a two sizes too small Iron Maiden concert tshirt.
Yessssss!!! I agree.
The guy with the buzz cut looks pretty smug about capturing the girl under his chair.
“Banished to live under the chair forever, Emily decided to make the best of it with a shelf.”
What else could she do?
Her only other option would be the infamous double hand shelf.
I would choose the under the chair forever option too.
And here I thought waterboarding was bad. Sheesh.
That background is certainly a shade of blue not found in nature or in any clothing not found at your local Goodwill. (not dissing Goodwill, just a joke
)
Notice the Mullet Dude’s right foot placed awkwardly in back..one would think that wouldn’t be very comfortable
Classic awkwardness. On so many of these pictures I just think, “What was the photographer thinking?”
Bring back the 80’s…..
My three prom dates…
What’s up with Backwards-Chair-Sitter’s twisted pantleg? That can’t be comfortable. He and Mullet oughta trade shoes. Solid black (possibly velcro?) walking shoes with light blue jeans just doesn’t go.

She refused to come out after they attempted to force her to go to their barber for her next haircut.
maybe they are circus folk–lion tamers??

Hey, there really IS a red-headed step child!
