My guess (waist-wise on those pants) is that Smokey is the middle kid from the previous photo. But as things go in life he is probably 25 yrs old, successful, and owns a Speedo and thong company in L.A.
What would be photoshopped?? It’s hilarious when people totally take the fun out of everything and say…”Not awkward” or “Totally photoshopped” and take it so seriously! I’m dying at the rest of these comments though…awesome!!
So the girl got a real costume and the little kid got the worst homemade one ever? “Trick or Treat! Give me something that won’t clog my colostomy bag”
Only YOU can prevent forest fires! ha ha. Little boy is def dressed as an OLD Smokey the Bear – what with the high waist pants and rolled up cuffs. To make it look like a real OLD STB, I would suggest the old pee stain on the pants routine such as the recent pic of the brothers!
What is that the girl is holding anyway – a taser gun?
I didn’t know what “red shirt” meant either, and I couldn’t resist looking it up to find out. According to Wikipedia… “Redshirt is a slang term for a minor stock character in an adventure drama who dies violently soon after being introduced to dramatize the dangerous situation faced by the main characters.”
In the original Star Trek TV series, anytime a new character was introduced and was wearing a red, “security” uniform”, he (or she) was going to die before the last act of the episode.
asthma much?
…this is BY FAR the coolest thing I have ever seen.
I can’t look away from Smokey’s spooky eyes. Evil, pure evil.
Hi, Mrs. Loopner!
Since when did the Next Generation team up with Smokey?
OMG!! I can not stop laughing and crying!! Friggin’ hilarious!! It’s all about the comments!
Me too! This photo has some of the BEST comments yet! I think I just wet myself!
set phasers to stunt
You never want to stop a bear from going to the Early Bird Special.

….and wears a gold Rolex watch no matter what.
Beam that Bear to California!
That should be Capt. Kirk and Lt. Uhura.
Something obviously went very wrong with the Transporter during the Halloween episode.
Smokey IS retirement age now… he celebrates his 65th BD this year!
Beam me up, Smokey.
-OR-
Only YOU can prevent the Vulcan Nerve Pinch.
Quick…Set your Dustbusters to stun…
Oh man, I love how the pants are jacked all the way up and he’s wearing white velcro shoes just like an old guy.
I wonder how many people couldn’t stop laughing when he went trick or treating! Who goes as smokey the bear anyway. lol.
where can i get this girls costume! it is amazing!
OMG – Fred Murtz’s pants ate Smokey!
Trekkie girl needs to put that phaser to use and put poor ol’ Smokey out of his misery! Just look at how flabby his skin is! D=
This is so cute!!! Not awkward though…
Agreed. And totally photoshopped…

Complete with the “old man floodwater trousers.”
Oh God, I love this!
LOL. This is the best one ever! His eyes look so sad (and a little crossed) that his parents could only afford half a costume.
I’m not convinced that’s an actual person.
oh, its real alright. look at his eyes–hes &%#@ing miserable!
Creepers!
Hey, you kids! Get outta my woods!
I just couldn’t stop laughing when I read the caption. Priceless.
So sad when fire-fighting bears lose their fashion sense!
Awkward mix of vintages? Star Trek circa “Next Generation” meets Smokey circa 1953?
Perhaps it was one of those timeline inversion things.
So the girl got a real costume and the little kid got the worst homemade one ever? “Trick or Treat! Give me something that won’t clog my colostomy bag”
Marvelous response!
Oh no!! They gave her a red-shirt. She’s beaming back up today guys!
The Bear kind of creeps me out.
This photo alone looks like it has a better plotline than half of the Deep Space Nine episodes ever did.
This is my favorite afp, ever. I love that Smokey.
Kind of a moth-eaten, Smokey, huh? Looks more like the gorilla from the Banana Splits!
oh, you mean bingo the drummer?? LOL
“Only YOU can prevent awkward photos”
Well, you can try to prevent. But they’re pretty much going to happen no matter what you do.
Now breaking the Prime Directive. THAT’s preventable.
And, apparently, is serving on board a starship bound for new life and new civilizations.
HA HA! So Good!
Only YOU can prevent forest fires! ha ha. Little boy is def dressed as an OLD Smokey the Bear – what with the high waist pants and rolled up cuffs. To make it look like a real OLD STB, I would suggest the old pee stain on the pants routine such as the recent pic of the brothers!

Here is proof that there is one, just one, Star Trek fan today who in 10-years has a shot at getting married and living a “normal” life.
Am I the only one who’s bothered by the fact that these parents let their daughter dress up as a Red Shirt?!
Or am I just a big geek?
They don’t expect her to return.
Oh, you are a geek. But I understand your concern. Don’t worry, she’ll be okay.
I’ve seen the “red shirt” comment more than once. What does a red shirt mean?
Forgive me for being the most ignorant Star Trek fan ever.
Red shirts have no name, and never come back from the planet’s surface.

smokey’s got the grandpa pants thing going on…
Um, yeah, Captain Obvious…. That’s why the caption reads what ‘elderly Smokey the Bear.”
it was rhetorical. *rolling eyes*
you two should kiss and make up
His morals protected him from fires, while his pants protected him from floods.
HAHAHAHA! StOP! I seriously am CRYING laughing.
You know you’ve put together a sad costume when the “Star Trek” kid next to you looks a thousand times cooler . . . ; )
“smokey”‘s head looks like a Teddy Ruxpin (sp?) bear.
Can’t. Stop. Laughing. Thank you for the entertainment.
I just think this is a really cute Halloween pic!
What?!! The AWKWARD is the Next Generation uniform with the Original Series phaser… Jeez… don’t they teach anything in school nowadays?
Oh yeah, she’s standing next to a bear.. Maybe she’s going to phaser him… What planet is he from? Certainly an M class planet….
Captain beam us up, and set phasers to snugly wuggly bear.
Only you can prevent forest fires…..and get those damn kids off my lawn!!
Smokey the Bear meets Fred Mertz.
LOL! YESSSS!
Snap!
