Awkward family photos

This tremendous site works, as all great internet sites,, by relying on its users.

They can send in their family's dreadfully misconceived posed family photos.

There is no other thing to say except - even when they work they look forced and false - when they go wrong they are comedy gold.

Anyway go to http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/ for the full works and to keep you going here's a few examples:

Above: the family which is quite fond of the hair-do known as the mullet and much beloved of German footballers.

Above: what better way to mark a family gathering than whipping your top off and using your daughters' heads to cover it up?

Above: ah yes, the classic 'strangle mum' shot.
