I am thinking (and secretly hoping) that grandma’s is actually a decoy made of cardboard, so that she will fit into the picture.
lol
Grandma’s dustbuster DOES look fake.
Or, at the very least, the prototype of the first Dustbuster ever made…
Maybe carved out of wood from the ol’ oak tree
that would be awesome! I’d have her in the corner of my living room getting that one cobweb that just keeps coming back!!!
I think her’s is just an older version
Grandma invented the dustbuster.
It is the old school version. I had the same one…wore it out a few years ago.
ha..it does look cardboard..i think the guy on the left had that bright idea..bwuahahahahaha..
Grandma is NOT a cuttout, she has the reflection of the flash in her glasses just like the lady in the middle. Love the light above the guys head, must of been his great idea in the first place. Left lady has great aim. And love grandmas eyes, looks like she got the demon possesed one and she has no control over it..
Billy Mays & Family, just didn’t work out as an advertising agency. DUSTBUSTER!
BWAHAHAHA
Grandma is totally going for “Thunder Cats..HOOOOO!”
I bet grandma all gave them dustbusters for x-mas, and they decided a picture was in order!
And yes, the grandma is the best! She makes the pictures! Go grandma!
Exactly what I was thinking. Can you see how old Gramma’s looks compared to everyone else? I think someone got a good deal on dust busters.
ITA! she’s set on getting the entire fam to love their new dust busters as much as she (obviously) loves her! Someone could have gotten her a new one! I’ve no idea how that thing’s still in business!
My mom gave us all the dust-busters for Christmas so I thought it would make a funny photo. Her vacuum is older, that’s why it is a different color. My mom passed away a year ago but she always had an incredible sense of humor. And a dustbuster. So she always thought this was a funny photo. The baby plays high school football now.
Thanks for sharing this with us! This is a classic
i sure hope the baby is actually a high school student now, and not a baby genious
Peter, your family rocks!
And cella, your comment actually made me snort/laugh really loud. Good one.
Marnie would be pleased with this bunch
OMG! That’s the new Compound Bow!
This is awesomely awkward! I am busting a gut!
Yes, it’s obvious Grama’s Dustbuster has seen alot of use! She can show the kids how to attack those dreaded dust bunnies!
a secret santa gift exchange gone bad?
By the power of dusty buster, I am GRAND-MAAAAA!
You made me spit out my chocolate pudding! LOL!
It always makes me chuckle to read about all the people have have spat out and/or snorted food or drink because these pics made them laugh. it shows that there still are some simple pleasures left in life.
No mini-Buster for the baby?!
Aw.. poor lil’ boy. He had the look like: “Hey, why can’t I hold one like y’all?! How dare you!”
The lady on the left MEANS BUSINESS.
Can’t see what’s in this picture … I’m blinded by the baby’s tie-dyed shirt.

What, the baby couldn’t hold one? this is so funny.
When you have a bunch of messy kids, the answer is personal dusbusters.
Now be sure you keep it charged.
Love the lightbulb over 2nd from the left’s head… Looks like it was his idea after all!
I didn’t even notice that. That is pretty funny.
Bingo! It actually was my idea. That’s me with the bulb over my head. And yes my mom (the granny) gave us all dust-busters for Christmas so I thought it would make a funny photo. Her vacuum is older, that’s why it is a different color. My mom passed away a year ago but she always had an incredible sense of humor. Never took herself too serious. So she always thought this was a funny photo.
they single handedly caused dustbusters stock to go up 5 points!
Nana’s rockin’ the retro!
Nope, Granny’s isn’t cardboard just very old my Mom used to have one that looked like that. The rest of the crew looks pretty new though maybe they all got one for Christmas from her and decided to take a pic with her and her old one just for the heck of it.
Oh well, like these people say “A family who dustbust together stays together.”
Correct. Mom gave us all a dust-buster for Christmas. She thought everyone needed one.
“Suck on this!”
What a family full of suckers!
New studies show that only 1 out of 5 adults know how to operate a dustbuster.
hah, you’re totally right… now I am imagining one of those studies… “here, take this common household item and pretend to use it”… only the woman in the middle passed the test!
hahahaha great comment, love this website.
It’s a BYODB party!!
Oh, I love this one! The photo would have been totally perfect if the baby had a miniature dustbuster…
“Hey everyone- let’s all get together with our dust buster christmas presents and take a random picture… no of course it doesn’t make any sense, Alice, but who outside of the family is going to see it, anyways?”
” Who you gonna call? ….. “dust busters!!!!”
HA!! I’ve been unconciously waiting for that ever since I started reading these comments
The woman on the left kills crumbs with determination
The man next to her kills crumbs sword-fight style
The woman next to him kills crumbs with gentle kindness
The man with the baby kills crumbs with reason and logic
Grandma kills crumbs with 2 hands, baseball-bat style.
And you thought your family sucked.
nice one!
Who you gonna call?-DUSTBUSTERS!!!
best picture on here
I don’t understand how all the Thundercat references link up to this photo
one year i gave my entire family staplers. it wouldnt have made nearly as good a pic.
Granny’s just happy she can finally hang up her old broom (far right of picture).
A family that ‘busts together, stays together. I think it’s cute.
Let’s see–that’s four new savings accounts and four FREE gifts, courtesy of Grandma. She has the original metal Dustbuster, made from WWI shell casings. That’s why she has to hold it with two hands.
ahahaha grandma
someone help granny turn on her dust buster
Grandma Larry King says, “I love my Dustbuster so much, I bought them for the whole family.”
Ha! I wonder what prompted this photo.
Grandma’s Dustbuster has “BAD A** MO FO” stamped on it.
I didn’t see dustbusters on Marney’s list – there’s going to be hell to pay.
All I have to say is, You Suck!
hehe
Suckers!
Who Ya Gonna Call???? DUSTBUSTERS!!!!!
So that’s what it would feel like to be an heir.
Grandma came damn near sucking up Junior
Remember the e-bay christmas Idea and all we won was the case lot of dust busters
BYODB
THE DUSTBUSTERS
the look on Grandma’s face LOL
