Awkward Office Photo Contest
August 31st, 2010
They may not be blood related, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t family. Inspired by The Office: Season Six (9/7 on Blu-ray & DVD), we are proud to announce our first official “Awkward Office Photo Contest,” a tribute to our awkward home away from home. We want you to send in your most cringeworthy office pics, whether it’s posing in the cubicle, in the parking lot, or in clown makeup at the annual corporate retreat. Even if your workplace isn’t technically an office, we want to see pics of you and your co-workers doing what you do best… making each other uncomfortable. Winning submission takes over the homepage 9/15 and receives a signed copy of the Awkward Family Photos book!
Enter the contest here. Check out submissions here.




















Ok. so the links to the Awkward office photo contest don’t work, and I can no longer enter new pics? How disappointing!
The contest ended 9/15/2010
HAHAHA * look at grumpy gus, smack dab in the middle of the back row
also- kudos to the fashionista who decided to pair MICKEY with that outfit .. way to be a trend setter, girl
insane clown posse….family edition
I really want to know what this is from.
“Ok,the photographer has to leave soon,so,quit clowning around”
ding, ding, ding…winner
These are the parents of the Insane Clown Posse….
Maybe I’m an idiot. I thought they really were Barnum & Bailey clowns. The matching outfits wouldn’t really make sense, but they wouldn’t make sense anyway. Red plaid?
Don’t bother, they’re here.
The clown in the back row third from the left looks like he was completely wasted when he put on his makeup…what’s going on with that clown face anyway?!
I never realized there was so many ways to do “creepy”!
Ok, what Scottish Klan is this? I think the plaid is awkward also. Is it the MacClownigans?
Hehehe…the MacDonald’s.
I like the brother’s hat and makeup. He’s rocking his suit, totally stylin.
Gathering of the Juggalos!!
Good one Brick…true ICP groupies here !!!
What’s up with the clown in the back row, second to last? Looks like she didn’t want to paint her fact, so she put on a mask instead. Either way, her expression creeps me out.
That should be face, not fact.
The clown on the far right is kinda hot…
Wow this is super creepy ! They are good sports to put up with going to a weekend retreat and putting up with this nonsense….
The only good thing I think came out of the weekend is…At least they saved on Gasoline, because they fit all 15 of them in one “Clown Car”
The big clown in the back middle, reminds me of the drunken clown in Uncle Buck !!!
The singer Judy Collins would love this picture. She now knows where they are…
LOL!
The people wearing the hats seem the happiest. They’re probably the upper echelon.
I once told my boss that if I ever had to go on a corporate retreat, to just fire me right there. I would rather be homeless and eating my meals from dumpsters than be subjected to this. Corporate retreat is an oxymoron created by sadists.
It was the lady with just the painted eyebrows who said, “Okay everybody, lets all paint our faces white tomorrow and embellish with clown faces. See who can look the silliest!”
Looks like they could only afford black, white, red and blue clown make-up. :>(
All right, who’s the clown that thought this was a good idea? Anyone? Anyone?
Now I’ll never get to sleep tonight…..
I’m pretty sure the one with the mustache was in my dream last night…
I can’t even comment on the make up because I am so distracted by the moose knuckle front and center.
Ha! Moose knuckle!!
Hey, if anyone can pull this look off, it’s a bunch of circus employees! Let’s just hope that one of me and my office mates in Santa hats never surfaces…
Looks like the clown in the white pants (surrounded by lady clowns) has a rubber chicken shoved down his fashionable trousers.
… I like the one lady who thought that full face paint was just too much .. and opted for just eyebrows instead..
She didn’t feel the need to wear the full uniform either. She must be middle management.
Well the guy in the white shoes must own the school because he is not wearing the required school uniform at all. And he is also holding the elbow of nice gams gal…playa!
The clown in the front row, second from the right has nice legs. Trust me, I’m an engineer. Strange, but somehow clowns aren’t so scary anymore….
Second that
When your boss is a juggalo, you kind of have to be one too.
LOL
Good call with the juggalo reference
HAHAHAHA… indeed, good call!
White face paint awkward – nah. White shoes, now THAT’S awkward! And on another note: Men – when will we learn to keep our legs together unless the package is for sale? And whats with the shirt lapels? Wow.
package for sale….xD HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Creepiest AFP ever!
That is really creepy!!! I won’t sleep well tonight lol
This is why people are scared of clowns!!
OMG the guy in the middle with the huge collar, brown shoes, and blue socks — he wore those without dressing like a clown — he could scare the bejeeuz out of anyone!!
killer clowns from office space…
and it almost looks like he has one hand in each of the laps of the ladies next to him
When did Barnum and Bailey start a flight attendant service?
lol@ LuLu and…what is with the Dude in the middle all spread like we want to see his awesome “bizzzzness”
And by “bizzzzness” do you mean his balloon animals?
ha!
