That kid actually looks like he’s levitating, the lederhosen are pulled up so high! Look — he’s hovering about 1/2 an inch off the ground!
Ha-ha!
you’re right, it’s like a David Blaine trick
OMG-you mean this is photoshopped?
XD
LOL!
Two lonely goatherds.
yoda layhe hoo
NOT in this picture Yoda is.
XD
Oh. My.
The lederhosen seem a tad tight. You should never be able to tell which side a man dresses to! By the way, lederhosen are Bavarian, not Swiss.
Who wears short shorts? Unfortunately, that poor kid wears short shorts!
The striped tube socks really complete the look.
Hey, they match!
So this is what dad does when he is home alone with the kids.
Riiiiiiiiiiiiicola!
lol, I thought that, too!
AHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Awesome!!
The hills are alive with the sound of therapy!
I like you, Jeeps. You’re funny!
Brilliant. Comment FTW!
Is this a lifestyle choice, or a costume for a day? Because I think Dad is wearing black socks and dress shoes, and that’s not authentic!
Yeah, but the polo shirts ARE so authentic.
Yes, one of the best things about this photo is that no effort was made with any other element of the costume (except the poor kid’s hat) unless you count the matching polos as effort.
However the lad’s athletic tube socks are as authentic as it gets!
that looks like will forte in a wig
DAMN YOU! I was just going to say that he looked just like Will Forte! MacGruber’s going DEEP undercover!
Swiss cheese.
No more oom pah, pa!
Isn’t that German?
of course, thats bavarian – not swiss!!!!
At first glance the kid made me think of a modern day Pinocchio. This time around my guess is that for every lie he tells his legs grow longer.
I wonder if that kid will be wearing those same shorts when he’s up there in that bell tower with a high powered rifle when he gets older.
No kidding huh?
I wonder if he’ll use a Mauser.
why, no, as a matter of fact, he’ll use a compound bow!
Was this a picture of a Bavarian family, taken in Bavaria, it would still be awkward because of the father’s comb over.
ok…you win
I’m not a puppet, I’m a real boy!!
Short shorts + striped socks = AFP Awesomeness!
Mmmm…bratwurst….
I hear yodeling.
Doesn’t every family in the upper midwest have a picture of a close friend or relative dressed up like this?
yah sure ya betcha!
on the way to the Oktoberfest and some sassich….
My husband grew up here in Australia next door to a family who had emigrated to our country. The sons still wore their traditional lederhosen and one of them was nicknamed “Double D***” because of the double zippers. I hope he wasn’t too upset about it.
Bet he was popular, tho…
This is german clothing, not swiss!
Don’t blame the swiss!
Thank you, a swiss
Ha, my mom and her family are from Switzerland!
Well, technically my Opa is from Austria, but everybody else is Swiss!
I would rather say AUSTRIAN Misters – the Lederhosen Style is typically unfamiliar in good old Switzerland ……. Greez from the big city ZURICH
OMG Clark and Rusty are real! WT*?
R-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-COL-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-H!!
It’s German … bavarian to be precise.
Where’s the beer garden??
Sorry, son, the washing machine should be fixed soon. In the meantime, this is all we got to wear.
Well at least they weren’t made from some old drapes in the Governess’ room.
Lederhosen are an in-joke in my family … in fact the “Passing of the Lederhosen” to each new baby is a beloved family ritual.
No, I am not making this up, Yes, I wish I were.
Therefore, it should not be a surprise to learn that practically every picture ever taken at our family gatherings qualifies as an Awkward Family Photo.
Edith! Take the darn picture already, we need to practice our yodeling!
“She’s got her skate caught in his lederhosen!!!”
I’m blind now.
see i think this picture is kind of cute – i love some really really old pics of my mom & i wearing stupid matching laura ashley dresses (sort of along the same line of oh dear god what are they wearing), and they are so bad that all my friends think it’s hysterical. but you’ve got to look back & remember that day properly, and know that you probably felt so cool to be matching with mom/dad. so they’re great pics!
Mr Hitler always told young Adolf that it did not matter if people laughed at you so long as you were a kind, decent, loving person and that revenge was NOT an option
This photo is of me and my dad
I never did end up on a clock tower… hehe
Our town had a German festival every year. Thankfully, this outfit only fit me for one year
this is NOT swiss. lederhosen are from germany!
(I AM a swiss-girl by the way….)
So, shouldn’t you be more neutral about it?
I laughed and laughed at this…not so much because of the photo by itself, but because the ad below it was for Planned Parenthood.
Wait – is that “bonding” or “binding”?
Get your facts straight. Lederhosen are worn in Germany, not in Switzerland.
How to piss off German and Swiss in one fell swoop…
#1. Simply imply (no matter how comically justifiable it is) that lederhosen have anything to do with the swiss…
#2. Sit back and watch the comedy ensue.
“Where are you from, my dear?”
“I am Inga from Sveeden!”
“Sweden?, But you’re wearing le-lederhosen?”
“Yah! From Sweeden!”
The kid reminds me of Werner from The Life Aquatic! He needs a red hat
OHH, look at the bench.
ITS NOT SWISS! ITS BAVARIAN
Seriously, there is a family at our church who still dress their kids like this!!!!
