Spreading the Awkwardness
Bill took his janitorial job very seriously…First “Mystery Men” gave us “The Shoveler,” now we have (make up your own name).
whats with the baby bottle in his lap
Okay, the hot dad…totally Richard Fish from Ally McBeal! LOL
is this from the new german movie, Das Broom?
Mr. Clean, the early days?
Am I the only one who thinks this looks like a scene from a classic horror movie?
Oh, and the dad is pretty hot.
VH1: Behind the Music: What Happened to Mary Poppins After The Singing Stopped. No more chimney sweep romance for her….
Why is he holding both a bottle and the broom? The kid looks big enough to hold his/her own bottle
It looks like an ad for Calvin Klein mops.
Put me in the “hot dad” club, nice! And this is just so perplexing! I want to know the story behind this….
We are Hanz and Franz and we’ve come to MOP YOU UP!
you just made me spit my milk all over the keyboard
funniest thing about this photo is the bottom caption. I laughed so hard!
Kind of looks like Ryan and Tatum O’Neal and friend around the time of “Paper Moon”, but more awkward.
In the words of Dewey Finn, “That is TOTALLY punk rock!”
Ok, Frances, tell us all the backwoods motel housekeeping crew horror story that goes along with this photo. Please. I am begging.
Huh?!
This has to be some sort of a carefully planned photo. Not sure what the story is, but why else would someone purposely have a portrait taken of a toddler in footie pajamas?
All I can think is “chim chim-i-ney, chim-chim-i-ney, chim chim cherooooo”
Dang – that man looks SERIOUS. I bet when he tells that little girl to clean her room – she CLEANS HER ROOM – double time!
Dad is kinda David Bowie-ish
me likey
I thought the EXACT same thing.
“Chim Chimini, Chim Chimini, Chim Chim Charoo…”
Anyone know the back story?
Put some Russian letters under this and you have a perfect mish-mash of post-modern minimalism and soviet constructivist art.
Uh, yea. Thats totally what i thought too (???).
Dude is SERIOUSLY hot!
I want to use this for my next album cover.
To me, the most awkward thing about this photo is that chunk of Scotch tape up at the top.
Yes!
Yes! So distracting that’s all I saw.
Ha! At first glance I thought it was a graduation cap. Thank you for clearing that up.
lol!! that’s what I thought too!!
Whose knee is in the foreground – the suitor who didn’t win her love?
True, it looks like he’s claiming a victory.
Its his knee. He is sitting, with his knee up
This photograph is actually kind of awesome. Black and white plus ultraserious dad ftw.
I would love to know the back story to this.
MR. MOM! And taking it verrrry seriously!
Lucky lady. I’d let him sweep my floors any day!
(I don’t think my husband knows how to spell BROOM much less use one
)
modern day “american gothic”?
Darn! I was hoping I would be the first one to pick up on that.
Is American gothic the famous pic of the old couple with the pitchfork? (Forgive me-Aussie guy.)
yeah- the artist was grant wood.
Behind every great mop is a very serious and determined-looking man…and his family…looking perplexed.
Speaking of looking, is that baby looking at the baby bottle?
I’d say the baby is definitely wondering why that bottle is in Dad’s pocket and not in his/her mouth.
The baby looks suspicious and confused.
The baby is the only one who appears to realize how awkward this photo is.
Can’t see the awkward because I’m too busy looking at that hot dad!
I know, right?
I like that lady, I love this mop.
