Were they robbed of their clothes & wanted to document the moment on film?
They’re showing they’ve nothing to hide,lol
haha mike. lol I cant believe they did that. None of them look like they want to be in the pic so why did they take it? Their expressions make it priceless.
hey! you take that back! i see gram and gramps smiling coquettishly! lmbo! is this what you see when you are supposed to picture everyone sans clothes while you are making a speech? i think it would make me more nervous than those tough gangsters in center below! where do they hide their weapons?
seriously, no explanation?
I know. ABSOLUTELY NO WAY
I’m hoping that it’s the inside of a family Christmas card. The outside of the card must have had them dressed in Christmas attire, and then when you open the card, you see them in their underwear.
I just wish there was a Christmas tree around.
Seriously….why?
thanks, this one just got me fired …
Is that really true? Did you get fired for this picture?
Your fault, if true.
Did you take the picture?
yah OK- maybe it has something to do with you surfing the internet while AT WORK???
I keep coming back to this photo to check her out.
Who? Granny in the middle of the back row…? ME TOO!!!!
Well children, I hope this teaches you the importance of not leaving parents unattended!
The fruit is out of the loom!
AH HA HA HA HA! Best answer ever!
For the love of humanity, Please put it back in the loom!
OMG! Why would anyone do that?
I was thinking….How do you talk everyone into to doing this? But…I mean….uh..There are just so many of them…soo many…They all just seem like this is normal….IT”S NOT!! Why,oh, why?
I need a backstory. an explanation, some logical reason why a group would do this? Is it a nudist colony at a formal dance or something? Please help me before my brain explodes!
I presume it’s a family of nudists who wanted to take a photo. Generally nudist colonies prohibit photography without express written permission. Also, let’s assume one of them is a minor – it’s the only way to get a photo of the experience.
Nudist colony at a formal dance! OMG made me LOL!!! Best comment!
I agree with nikki…best comment ever! lol
Got my vote, too!
Here’s the backstory: it’s an artwork called Family Portrait by the artist Miguel Calderon. It’s been exhibited in several museums. He convinced his family to do it by having a curator at the Louvre write a letter saying that the project would be legitimate art. When he had previously asked the family to do it the grandfather had said something along the lines of “I’ll believe that’s art if you show me a letter from the Louvre saying it’s art.”
Dang..I’d love to know y they’re all in their skivvies..It’s hilarious!
After their house burnt down, burning all their belongings, the whole family posed for a picture in thanks that they had, at least, each other.
“I need a backstory. an explanation, some logical reason why a group would do this? Is it a nudist colony at a formal dance or something? Please help me before my brain explodes!”
I almost peed my pants when I read this…GREAT comment.
Oh, for Pete’s sake! I mean, seriously? SERIOUSLY? And I thought MY family reunions were weird. . .
Enclosure in a letter to a rich relative they’re asking for financial support.?
Shouldn’t they be wearing barrels wth suspenders?
Barrels are very expensive!… all they can afford is skivvies!
In this day and age and with this economy, they probably can’t afford barrels.
OK, what is the woman on the far right doing with her right hand AND why the slightly awkward lean of the woman next to her?
She has feet?
I remember seeing this photo in the New York Times a while back. One of the people in the photo (I think the guy in boxers on the left) is an artist and this was part of some project. I wish I knew more, but I seriously can’t remember his name or anything about the project. Definitely not just a regular family photo though.
Ya think?
Everybody is pretty much touching/hugging except the guy on the left…maybe the cheese stands alone?
Yes, and he’s Limberger.
Why do they all look so angry??? Oh Yeah… they are posing in their underwear with thier GRANDPARENTS!!!!!
Yuck! No one wants to see all that… What happened to the greatest generation? Shame on you grandma and grandpa!
This is hands down the BEST yet that you’ve posted. I’ve been laughing about it all day. I mean seriously WT*?!!
What is the woman on the far right wearing on her feet?
You’re looking at her FEET?!
Yeah, I looked at the rest of her first but, did notice the feet….kinda looks like wooden shoes painted white?
I’ve got it! They were all staying at Granny’s house when it was suddenly hit by a tornado. They lost everything and had to wade through muddy swamps to get to civilization where they were put up in a hotel and the manager thoughtfully agreed to wash their muddy clothes… the only clothes they have left. They decided to take the picture to celebrate the fact that they all survived unharmed.
I agree with this story completely! The most logical story yet!
Determined not to let it ruin their vacation, the Nelsons had fun despite the fact their luggage had been re-routed to Greenland.
Stanley Tucci really IS in everything!
(second from left)
ROFL!! Awesome comment!
I guess this is better than “everyone in lingerie” night
Oooh-kay! What a weird family.
“Wake up everyone, it’s time for a family photo. No, put your pants DOWN!”
That’s the only way. The ONLY way that could have come up.
Boxers or brie……oh, never mind.
It’s a tie and they’re all vying to win the last round of the strip poker tournament.
WHY?
trust excercise. no doubt in my mind.
So who broke the circle of trust? My guess is mustache man.
This was their before photo…The thin ones were inspiration : )
“Awkward” is so inadequate to describe this photo. Oh, my.
Thanks to this photo, I can no longer drink coffee while viewing this web page…don’t think my keyboard could take any more coffee sprays from my nose!
We are Family, I got undies with me………..
AHAHAHAHAH OH MY GOD.
Best. Comment. Ever.
LMAO, I agree!!!
WHY did 2nd guy from the left get to keep his black tank top on?
hahaha, best comment ever.
I’m sorry for all of you who think this is shocking in some way…it is simply the funniest thing I’ve seen! I love the serious expressions on all their faces. However, I do agree with dsto who wondered how they ALL agreed to be photographed like this. It’s a scream.
It was a hot and humid day at the annual 4th of July family picnic that year…
Dear Lord,
Please let this photo be either a practical joke or a theater troupe.
Your friend,
RV
Apparently someone forgot to tell Big Man that it’s boxer night.
Definitely Italian, maybe it’s a initiation into the mob… old family traditions die hard
In order to rebel after receiving Aunt Marn’s Thanksgiving Letter, the family decided to show up to the gathering wearing nothin’ but their skivvies!
HAHAHAHAHA!!!
ROFLM*O
REGULATION skivvies
ICNBMS
Ellen Degeneress needs to send this family some of her underwear!
I’m just confused.
I can’t see how any of them would ever regret this.
the kid in the front row, second from the left (orange-ish skivvies), looks like a young Ralph Macchio! (The Karate Kid!!)
The French are just different than us.
They must have lost a bet. There is no other logical explanation for this.
I can’t believe none of you got this! It’s Laundry Day at the McKracken household!!
Poor Uncle Phil, on the far left, had already dipped into that emergency stash of undies you keep for, hence the brown bikinis.
The only thing I see wrong with this photo is that they don’t look very happy. We attribute way too much importance to clothing in my opinion.
one family reunion no one will forget.
at least the 2 down on the bottom right hand side are hot…
agreed
