Everyone has that one awkward family photo with someone who obviously didn’t get the memo to behave. Am I right?
It could be your silly brother, that uncle you only see once a year, or maybe it’s even you who is the butt of everyone’s jokes. Either way, let’s just keep in mind that these photos are what families are all about.

An Instagram account has even been created to celebrate all the things awkward family photos have to offer.
Some of the pictures submitted there are pretty hilarious. Take this one, for example. That must’ve been some fun childhood. What do you think?
Ha, ha! we’ll take your word for it.
“This is a photo of my family (me as a baby in the middle). My parents don’t remember the picture and I have no way how to explain the picture, but seriously my mom is not that scary,” said the person who submitted this photo.
Honestly, this could have been me at the table.
Apparently, I had a tendency to fall asleep with the food still in my mouth — I kid you not. I don’t think I have a picture of it happening, though. Thank goodness for that.
OMG, can you believe this hairdo?
At first, I wasn’t sure this was even a guy, ha, ha! I thought it was a lady with an unusually big hair. I hope this guy belonged to some cool ’80s band at least.
Uh-oh, looks like grandpa forgot his pants again.
“My grandfather in the ’70s at a party at his house. Without any pants on for some reason.”
Why he is at a party like this is anybody’s guess. This is just how grandpas roll I suppose.
This is one family that sure does like bunnies.
Just how many of them are there? I love bunnies too but I think this might be a little bit excessive even for my taste. Whatever happened to them all?
Is it just me or does this girl remind you of a child beauty queen?
I always thought making your kid look like a middle-aged woman was quite strange. I wouldn’t hang up this picture in my living room. No way!
If your father-in-law babysits like this, I feel scared for your children.
Maybe you’d be better off just paying that overpriced babysitter next door. At least the kid will be inside and not on the driveway. This is priceless.
Speaking of falling asleep on the job, how about this attentive husband?
How would you feel if you walked into the room and saw this pitiful situation? Oh my goodness. It’s both adorable and pretty hilarious. Isn’t it? LOL!
Oh no! Tell me it isn’t so — not a ventriloquist dummy!
Are you as creeped out by them as me? I’m so lucky my dad wasn’t into this because that would have made things a lot more awkward than they already were when I was growing up.
One word: Wow.
“This is a family photo from the ’90s. We had coordinated Halloween costumes and my parents decided to get a professional photo taken of it for some reason. [….] And yes, we watched a lot of Star Trek.”
Taking fandom to a whole new level, huh?
If this isn’t one unfortunate baby picture, I dunno what is.
Who does this baby remind you of? Judging by the comments on this photo, a lot of different celebrities share a resemblance to this baby. Some suggested Don Rickles, Jim Gaffigan — and even Uncle Fester from The Addams Family .
Ah, the memories. They sure last forever, don’t they?
“Who makes three siblings commemorate their headgear wearing days? My mom, that’s who! What teenagers agree to have a professional picture taken in said headgears?! My crazy family! Embracing the weird!” said the person who shared this photo.
Well, it seems that there’s no shortage of awkward family pictures at least when it comes to this Instagram account.
I bet I could bring you a lot more of these if I had all day to spare. Which one is your favorite?
