What family reunion wouldn’t be complete without Lester, Dick, Gene, Thelma, Ida, Mary, and Roberta? And yes, those are their real names.

Spreading the Awkwardness
Wha??!! I’m gettin my freakin pictcha taken ova here!
Mr. White Shorts in the back caps it for me.
I swear someone stole this from my grandmother’s photo album. This TOTALLY could be my family.
George was so happy to put his family his latest movie, but then Brad dropped his pants and shocked poor Aunt Lester. Mary though, Mary’s always thinkin, she’s going to make some cash with the tabloids…
clearly Lester & Mary are the butt whoopers in the group…
You know, my Aunt Lester is going to be mighty upset that you all think she has a man’s name!
“Hands off the fruit salad, Marney!”
Look at the backyard on that dude in the background! Butt-Shelf?
Waiting overnight in line for tickets was no problem for these DeadHeads!
Mary… “You kids keep it down over there! We’re taking a picture!!”
I live in France and someone recently asked me, so what names in the US are kind of old fashioned and not in use anymore… thanks for the answer !
Man on far left appears as if he is saying: “You talkin to ME?”.
He totally does!
The caption has been edited. When first posted, the name “Lester” was listed twice.
I really wish I knew what they were looking at to the left lol
The photographer was experiencing an official family shunning for bringing a grocery store cake and trying to pass it off as homemade.
Judging by the responses to this photo, apparently the wording of the caption was more awkward than the photo itself.
LOL!!! thats great!
Pish! This is nothing. My mom and dad are called Heinie and Fritz (German for Henry and Frances), and they have siblings/in-laws named Norma, Hilda, Rita, JoAnn, Clete, Leo, Dudge, Stella, and Bertha. And when they pose for photos, normally every single one of them is wearing a different pattern of some sort, too. Yee haw.
Who wears short (and tight) shorts?
Cool guys, that’s who!
Not bad but I have it beat! On just my dad’s side is Mildred, Millard, Vernon, Roy, Benevia, Son, Sunny, Bud and Buddy, Sissy, Renrer, Orvil, Ida May, and that’s just my dads brothers and sisters!!!!! Awesome picture….
Glad I’m not the only one to see George Clooney in the future.
“TAKE A PICTURE-IT LASTS LONGER!”
You are not following the caption right. Back row: Lester, Dick, Gene. Middle row: Thelma, Ida. Front Row: Mary, Roberta
Wow! Not a single one of them are looking at the camera. haha!
Is it just me or is the guy in the back all the way to the right look a little like George Clooney?
The guy at the top right looks like George Clooney.
The guy in the right looks like George Clooney.
I spy with my little eye something that looks like George Clooney on the top right!
the names are correct. That’s Roberta. Mary looks like fun!
Why do some people think there is a woman named Lester in this picture? There are 7 people. 3 men (Lester, Dick and Gene, all in the back) and 4 women (Thelma, Ida, Mary and Roberta)
Lester isn’t a girl, he’s Mr. Khaki Shirt on the left. You have to read the names by rows (I think).
Hey!
George Clooney on the right!
I sort of thought that there was a woman named Lester for a second and then realized the 3 dudes in the back are listed, then the 2 chicks in the middle and then the 2 seated in the front, which, by my calculations, would make the one looking like she is about to eat someone’s soul Mary, sweet sweet Mary. I love family reunions.
Is it just me or is George Clooney out of place?
A woman named Lester?
I see three men- Lester. Dick and Gene.
And then I see four women- Thelma, Ida, Mary and Roberta.
Haven’t we gone over this?
yes, but isn’t that George Clooney?
three guys….lester, dick, gene. four ladies…mary, roberta, thelma, ida. caption names not in order. not really an awkward photo though.just old. i think this blog considers anything pre-1990 as “awkward”
and rightly so lol…
ha, good one!
Isn’t that George Clooney, top right?
It’s Left to Right, Top to Bottom. The three men are Lester, Dick and Gene.
Anybody else notice that Gene (last dude on the right) looks kinda like an older version of George Clooney?
My daughter noticed that Gene looked like George Clooney also. It could be a relative he may not want known.
“Everybody look at the camera… cheese!”
“WHERE?!?”
Love this photo! But why is George Clooney there?
So I’m not the only one who thought that???
Ha! I was just going to ask the same question!
LMAO someone took what I was gonna say
P
Triple that for me! I thought it looked like Clooney circa “O Brother…”.
I was waiting for it before I made the obvious comment that someone had already made (15 times) — but I thought that too!!
BTW is there a woman named Lester in the pic?
The George clone was the first thing that jumped out at me too! Very reminiscent of “Oh Brother Where Art Thou?”
He looks like a dapper dan man!
There’s a woman named Lester?
Ok, everyone on the count of three *eyeroll* and groan….
I love that Roberta [as I'm guessing her to be] is holding a Polaroid. Classic.
I love it, she’s like, do whatever you need to do guys, I already got my pic!
Don’t forget Legs in the background.
If I’m following the caption right, one of those women is named Lester!
Really? Lester, Dick and Gene are the back row, Thelma and Ida are in the middle, and Mary and Roberta are in the front.
I don’t know where you and Shalindria are messing up. I see three men (not counting the background guys) and three male names, plus four women and four female names.
I think they started from the back left. It makes sense that way.
no… one of the men is named GENE. Jean is female, Gene is male. I have an uncle Gene… southerner.
When the picture was originally put up, there were two Lesters in the caption. It appears to have been updated.
Everyone else seems content at just kind of looking concerned, not Ida she was upset and everybody knew about it!
Wait….one of the women is named Lester?
That could be my family! We have our reunion every year in Kentucky and I swear there have been pics taken like this, except someone usually has a cigarette in one hand and someone else has a mouth full of food.
We have pics like this in my family too. I swear, they must pass those chairs around for all the family reunions around the country!
I’m just wondering why they are posing (or maybe getting ready to pose) for a pic with some guy’s butt in the frame.
Mine too! Change the names to Verda, Hazel, Margaret, Myrtle, Vivian (a man, btw), Buster (another man, and, yes, that’s his real name!) and Theodore and you have our family reunion. Except they’d all be wearing rather large awkward sunhats because apparently some old folks are keen on hats. LOL
They’re obviously calling for the missing person(s); not awkward. Making fun of old people is awkward.
Somebody needs to lighten up. And it ain’t AFP.
Totally agree with you Leonard. @ Henry – if you don’t like the funny “awkward” comments, go to Rush Limbaugh’s site then.
Agreed. Who is making fun of old people?? I think Henry’s real name is Wetblanket Wetblankerton.
Your comment is awkward Henry
Kinda looks like some of them are picking a fight!
Yup. Mary (not me, I swear) looks like she’s had just about enough of someone!
We can stare too and longer bub!
