Awkward Family Photos: Father's Day 2012

Dad often takes center stage in Awkward Family Photos. His facial hair. His pseudo smile. His clothing -- or lack thereof. As we get ready to celebrate him, here are some of the best examples of the men who gave us life, in all their awkward glory. Happy Father's Day!

Love,
AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com

This year, give your dad the gift of awkwardness with an official AFP Book & Board Game.

Some are not that bad...the important thing is what is in the heart...I had to go through three fathers before my mother found a good one...the first one abandoned my mother and me at the start of the great depression and I never met him...the next one was the town drunk...finally me mother got a winner with the third one who gave her the life she deserved and they were happily married for over 40 years...here is the tribute to him that I published in the small town paper that they lived in most of their years.. http://www.junebergalzheimers.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=232&Itemid=519 My mother later died as a victim of Alzheimer's as did my wife of 56 years...I maintain a website in their honor and memory...the above link is to one of the over 200 pages on the site..

The man holding the baby had to miss the football game for that. Ladies, you just don't know what us men go through when you have babies. jk

The only one smiling in the first pic is the baby! (And it's probably gas...)

I don't think the baby was smiling, looked like crying to me and if he could see the photo he'd really be crying. They look so mad. I feel sorry for that poor baby.

I noticed a trend with the pictures. Mummy and Daddy are happy (clueless) and the kids are horrified about what's going on...The one of the newborn is a very sad testiment for that little guy. Hope his/her life is actually going better.

The bodybuilder guy looks like a rack of ribs and they are done..Notice Mom's shirt matches his body color? and the white cod piece and choice of background. LMAO

The bodybuilder shot.. a few months after the pic was taken, "Um honey, sit down, I have something to talk to you about. You know my lifting 'partner' Tom? well we're moving to San Francisco and opening up a gym/bread and breakfast. ..."
