Who doesn't love thumbing through old family albums, seeing all your cousins and uncles when they were young? And the best part about it is more often than not, you find hilarious photos, embarrassing to watch, that are true family magic.

While most of the time you only get to see your own family photos, these good souls have decided to share their family's most awkward photos—and we guarantee you just won't be able to stop laughing.

TMI Grandma

A raunchy joke now and then is great, but not when it comes from your grandma. This person’s grandmother was photographed in this pretty much straightforward pose.

Don’t get us wrong, this shows a healthy sense of humor, but if it was our grandma we would have been scratching our eyes out right at this second. Better keep the sausage away from grandma next time.

A Sneaky Poem

This is not exactly a family photo, but it definitely has a spot on our list. This kid’s parents thought it was a good idea to frame this poem he wrote.

And though it’s not uncommon for parents to be proud of their child’s work and put it on display, this piece of literature is a little bit problematic. Framing a finger painting would probably be a better idea.

Photobomb Galore

This man thought he was taking a sweet wholesome picture of his wife and this lovely dining table she prepared. But it seems like he forgot that a mirror tends to reflect whoever is standing in front of it.

This resulted in a hilarious photo showing this guy unknowingly photographing himself in his underwear, for the whole world to see.

A Cheesy Moment

There are so many weird things happening in this picture, we don’t even know where to begin. First, the cat, which its face's saying, “hey dads, this is not what I signed up for”. Then we have the matching outfits with the turtle necks, the tights, the boots!

And of course, let's not forget the fondue bowl, tying everything together into a wonderful awkward sensation. Honestly, these guys turn awkward photos into an art form.

Always a Bridesmaid

Little girls usually love being flower girls at weddings, but this girl was simply not having it. Oh no, she didn’t want to throw petals down the aisle, she wanted to throw rocks at the groom.

It’s cute in a way and the crowd probably laughed at the sight of this adorable scene, but when thinking a little more about it, there might be some anger issues to work through.

Fashion Faux Pas

The ’80s were a time of many controversial fashion choices. Big shoulder pads, big hair, big pants … you get the picture. If you still don’t, simply take a look at this picture, showing somebody’s parents in the ‘80s.

Back then, this couple was probably considered to be a very stylish duo, but in retrospect, these outfits are more of a style flop.
