Time to Celebrate the Awkwardness

It’s not polite to laugh at other people’s awkward nature. However, just because it’s not socially appropriate doesn’t mean we can deny the humor in pictures of gawky individuals and the situations they put themselves in. Like a puppy with one leg in a lizard costume, these people make us want to chuckle and say “awwww, poor guy” at the same time. Recently the internet masses have caught on to these photographic gems, and a whole new breed of humor has taken Twitter and the wider social web by storm. Here are some of the best sites that celebrate uncomfortable individuals and moments like never before:

Awkward Family Photos: So your mom wants to have a professional family-group photo for the Christmas card this year. But wait, is Uncle Larry really insisting that Mr. Twiggles, his pet ferret, be in the picture? And is Grandma drunk? Did I mention we’re all posing on a tractor wearing matching overalls? Oh yes. You’ll find those snapshots here.

People Of Walmart
: Walmart’s known for their rollback prices, poor employee benefits, and let’s face it, the characters who show up at around midnight.  You won’t be seeing just your average mullet at this site, think more along the lines of an old lady in a head to toe zebra outfit, or a guy walking a goat down the aisles.   See who’s hanging around your friendly Walmart.

Awesomely Bad Engagement Photos: They say love is blind. Apparently so are the people who took these nauseatingly mushy, yet hilariously awkward couples shots.
