Dieter! Mit Sprockets!!
This guy looks like one of the Solid Gold dancers, at the finale of an abridged version of Irene Cara singing “Fame”.
No, no, much too stern.
This for sure qualifies as “awkward” among many other things, LOL!!!!!
He really likes Christmas!! Give me a C…Give me a H…. (and so on)…
How come no 1980′s child said Mike Myers “Gunther” or Spandau Ballet.
Tsk, tsk, tsk- young people so ignorant of our late Cold War Era pop-culture legacy or Euro-pomp.
LOL, “Now’s the time on Sprockets vhen ve DAHNCE!”
As an exchange student, Serge misunderstood when his host family said they wanted to see “The Nutcracker”
Best comment ever.
awesome.
Okay, forget for a moment the stoic-faced man in all black and high heeled dress shoes doing the splits–why are there so many poinsettias under the tree?
No dear, the line is the song is “deck the HALLS”.
Ha ha. Good one.
Looks like David Byrne from the Talking Heads.
He looks like a puppet that got out of control.
#11 nearly made me pee my pants.
Oooh, but the 12 days of Christmas start (not end) on Dec 25th and continue until Jan. 5. Awkward mistake.
Props to you for pointing that out! Very Awkward of AFP.
Leaping lord #11. Because of this mishap the rest of the group was relegated to the 10th day.
I just passed out laughing. HIGH-larious!!!
Look at what I can do! Look at what I can do!
Mommy, I’m scared…
Dunno why, this foto makes me very happy. Such a groovy kind of weird!
Ta Da….
Ouch!
What is that on the carpet & wall behind him??? Awkward, indeed!
Maybe Santa will bring him a new dance belt and tube of chapstick for Christmas. (“Waiting for Guffman” for those who don’t get the reference.)
WTF? Where’s his right arm?
His right leg looks broken. It looks like he was propped up after falling from a 90 story building!
Look, it’s Steven Morrissey from the Smiths!
You handsome devil.
“not that there’s anything wrong with that….”
lol….
Ah yes, the traditional Christmas performance of “The Nutcracker”. Sweet!
WINNER!!!!
Touché!
Agreed! It’s the look on his face that says, ” Look what I can do!”
Useless? Heck no! You could shove him in front of a door to stop a draft.
Hahahaha!!! Too funny! Love it!
“Hurry up and take the picture! I gotta split!”
Where is his other arm?
Yeah! That’s what I’m wondering too. Definitely wiping the eyes on this one! Man, oh man.
This picture made me make a funny face!
This comment made me make a funny face.
I have submitted a photo for every contest, and I never get featured. I never even get a response, so I’m not sure if you even got the photo. Because my photos are AWESOME, so why else wouldn’t you put it on the site? Anyway, I’m happy to vote, but I’m done submitting.
Face it, BeQui, you just aren’t weird enough. Practice makes perfect, though.
This is so funny!! For some reason it reminds me of the Stuart skit on Mad TV: “Look what I can do!”
My first thought too…it’s Stuart!!!
OMG I Loved Stuart. He’s the only one of the “new” SNL characters Iliked
Now that looks awkward.
He’s shoes have higher heels then mine. I don’t know if that say more about me or him.
He must be a dancer, like ballroom, I have those kind of shoes. Still a “different” photo though
People always wondered how Freddie Mercury could hit those high notes.
I hope we can vote on this one to win!
