Family Portraits I Can't Help But Laugh At

What's your worst family photo?

Was it the one your dad took that (bless his heart) was half-covered by his thumb? Or the one where everyone's eyes are red?

Whatever it is, you could take that photo, multiply it by 5000, and it still wouldn't be nearly as awkward/hilarious/cringey as these 19 family portraits.

Yep, these are pretty bad!

On the seventh day of Christmas, we asked for this to be erased from our memory.

Mrs. Claus looks a lot different than we imagined. In all the bedtime stories we heard about Santa Claus, never did we hear about his wife wearing a skintight dress and garter...

Nothing to see here.

All we see are floating heads! This is clearly a family who spends every weekend hunting or fishing. That, or they are forced to dress like this because it's Dad's favorite hobby.

The "ultimutt" family photo.

Ha ha ha ha! Isn't it just absolutely hilarious when two dogs are on the verge of ripping each other's face off and you're stuck in the middle of them?! That poor boy.

It's a no from me, dawg.

While the concept is creative — a baby bump does look like a basketball underneath a shirt — this is just disturbing. This guy thinks he's Michael Jordan and about to hit a slam dunk.

We're stumped.

This one becomes even more hilarious once you realize the effort it took to make this photo happen.

They dressed identical and had to climb a tree and position themselves just so. And yet, no one stopped to question WTF they were doing?!

Siblings or dating?

Believe it or not, this is a picture of a brother and sister. And we're not sure how to feel about that.

"We were play fighting and this was the awkward end result. Brother," the Redditor wrote. Who "play fights" with their brother past the age of 15?

The evil twins.

"I thought this was going to be frame worthy but i was mistaken," this Redditor wrote.

Definitely mistaken. Those babies are giving a mischievous grin that shows they're up to something. Meanwhile, that angle of the mom is pretty disastrous.

The selfie.

"Just a mom over here that wanted an actual photo with her kids rather than a selfie," this mom wrote. Moms will certainly understand the struggle of this! That little girl knew exactly what she was doing!

Who you gonna call?

If you don't know the Ghostbusters movies, you're going to take one look at this and assume it's their deformed child who they usually keep in the basement so as not to scare guests.

The Santa Claus.

"The kids loved meeting Santa a few years ago. He’s thrilled too," this Redditor wrote. Are they sure about that? These kids look like Santa just told them he's not real. Meanwhile, Santa is busy worrying about his next car payment.

The mullet family.

No, no, no, no, NO. It's one thing for one person to have a mullet, but all three? That poor kid. We forsee him talking about this portrait in many therapy sessions when he grows up.

So much joy.

You think you know what joy is? It's not smiling or laughing so bad your cheeks hurt. It's this: wailing at the top of your lungs while your parents make funny faces to try and calm you down.

The American Horror Story.

Is this a family portrait or the cover of a horror movie? We're going to go with the latter due to the eerie expressions on their faces, the outdated furniture, and that creepy doll.

The mismatched family.

Are we sure these are all family members? No two family members look alike, as one Redditor pointed out.

If anything, the dad looks more like Bob Belcher from Bob's Burgers. The wife, though? She ain't no Linda.

The tiger snack.

Normally, parents want to do everything they can to protect their child. But not these parents! The moment a photo opportunity with a tiger came up, they grabbed little Timmy and placed him in the lion's den.

The floral nightmare.

Remember when Kim Kardashian basically wore a floral couch design? Yeah, this is worse than that.

"JC Penney called and they want their curtains back," this Redditor wrote. "Pretty sure my mom still has her dress too."

Some photos weren't meant to recreated.

This is so horrifying, it's laughable.

This pose was cute when the baby was young. But when she's older? Not so much. This meant the adult daughter straddling her father.

Revenge served salty.

"She did me dirty with the hairstyle so I did her dirty with my devious underbite smile," this Redditor wrote. We have to agree with her; that hairstyle is beyond tragic.

Birthday suit.

There's only one reason this mom looks horrified: her daughter's naked body is standing directly behind her.

At least, that's what it looks like. Maybe it was the daughter's birthday? That would certainly explain the birthday suit.
