Spreading the Awkwardness
Hey, there really IS a red-headed step child!
maybe they are circus folk—lion tamers??
maybe they are circus folk–lion tamers??
She refused to come out after they attempted to force her to go to their barber for her next haircut.
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.
Bring back the 80′s…..
My three prom dates…
Classic awkwardness. On so many of these pictures I just think, “What was the photographer thinking?”
Notice the Mullet Dude’s right foot placed awkwardly in back..one would think that wouldn’t be very comfortable
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
)
And here I thought waterboarding was bad. Sheesh.
“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.
The guy with the buzz cut looks pretty smug about capturing the girl under his chair.
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.
Nice collection of hair styles.
Man on the chair looks like he dribbled.
Why are their elbows on his leg? Ewwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!! Unless?? This one is jacking me up big time.
Well, Emily sure knows her place in the family.
Yep, they’re from the South!
looks like a family mugshot. They all look so tired from being on the run for so long
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.
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.
they look like they are holding her captive….can someone please check on her. Thank You
my 3 dads. . .??
In order for the photographer to get all that 80′s hair/mullet in one picture Emily needed to hit the floor
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!
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!
stop it…oh my god I can’t stop laughing with all of your awkward lingo…!!!
And a very nice use of a double elbow-to-leg shelf by the guys.
Not what I expected the government’s top team of assassins to look like.
I was stunned to see noone replied. A quality comment.
Awkward Band Photo 2- “Emily & The Enforcers”
Good Call!
Looks like the guy on the right didn’t get the memo about wearing blue. Combo breaker!
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!!!
Today on “Lifetime”….
To add to that,not to be confused with “The People Under the Stairs”. Different family.
It appears mustache man’s hair is hovering
You are very right.
Mullet, sneakers, mustache and a shelf… all the ingredients to throw you back in the 80′s…
Those guys are a little creepy.
a little?
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.
maybe they are co-workers…
Oh awesome! The show “My Three Dads” is making a comeback!
how are these people related!?
Judging by their faces, the real question is “how aren’t these people related?”
Her three dads.
it’s a “mamma mia!” just like on 30 rock… or mamma mia.
mmm. mullet-y goodness.
“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
Yeah, and the guy with the mullet looks like captor.
I think i saw this family on “America’s Got Talent”.
The man on the right’s right foot is awkward in its own right. Right?
love the shoes on the guy to the right
super-tight laces for casual activities are awkward
so well said.
Emily enjoyed her stay with Vic Bob and Jon, she was treated just like part of the furniture.
The man with the mustache looks like husband.
No wedding ring on the girl.
who’s the wife?
once again, the tagline is even funnier than the picture. good call.
At least she could check on her cleaning
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.
make that “worthy of”
