As I sometimes reveal here, there is something universal about the awkwardness of family.
About a week ago, two childhood friends launched a site to document as much. The results — in the vein of LOLCats and Stuff White People Like — are hilarious:
The Choker: “This is what happens when your male role model is both a priest and a gym teacher.”
———————————————————————————————-
My Two Dads: “You may use your calculator for this equation.”
(Favorite comment: “I am very confused by this. Is the guy in the front right like a neighborhood computer guy who helps them out sometimes?”)
———————————————————————————————–
Family Tree: “Even the tree felt this one was awkward.”
————————————————————————————————
Check out the full, awkward archive here.
But a word of caution: Some of these will give you nightmares. Or at least the.. uh… willies.

Anyone else think the girl in “The Choker” looks like the Molly Ringwald character who can’t believe she’s stuck in this family?

Oh, Ann, these are hilarious; no doubt fodder for a bestselling Xmas gift book…for the family member who has everything. Kudos to your friends for brilliant concept and sure-to-be monetized execution.

I had seen this earlier in the week and intended to spend about 90 seconds perusing it. 45 minutes later… OPP (other people’s photos) fascinate us.

I love the title on two dads.
But above all, there’s always the combination of photo and title/comments that makes it special…

I want this to be my next job – both the finding of the photos and the writing of the captions. By the way – where did you find that fantastic ‘retweet’ plugin! Love it.

@Christian, …the girl in “The Choker” *does* look just like Molly Ringwald, from Pretty in Pink.
These were all great. Some of the ones on the site are even better…
I just joined the Fan Club on Facebook–what a fun site.

Ann,
I checked out the site. Only one thing I can say is
I’m glad to see there isn’t a family gathered around the family bush.

It was with some trepidation that I went to that site last week. I just didn’t know if some stray photo had slipped through my grasp. Luckily there are no Heaton family snaps to be seen – at least none that I will admit to!
