Awkward

Yikes. We're not entirely sure if some of these are purposely bad or if at the time, someone thought these pictures were fantastic and decided to share them with the world. We're hoping for the former, that these are just ironically bad portraits with the sole purrpose of making us laugh. 

If that's the case, they've totally nailed it! These portraits have everything that would make a classic awkward portrait. The bad photoshop, the ugly Christmas sweaters, the seductive poses, and of course, a shot where your pet looks confused as heck. 

We'll be honest with you... we'd like to see more of these portraits this upcoming holiday season.  

Including your four-legged friends into holiday photos can be a challenge, but these families have managed to do it... Well, depends on who you're asking. 

Awkward family photos are one of our favorites and when you add to it your pet, it's double the fun. 

When it comes to not knowing what your damn pet looks like, this is an absolute worst-case (comedy gold) kind of scenario. One New Zealand man found himself in a uniquely awkward situation when he had the realization that not only had he stolen his neighbor's cat, but he'd also drugged it. Let the hilarity ensue...

But we've got to give them some credit for the effort...

Cheryl Wassus happened upon a magnificently unexpected, full-on cringeworthy event when she took her professional therapy licensed therapy dog to Furry Con with hopes to socialize the one-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog. Suffice to say, Ms. Wassus was expecting run-ins with other dogs...not a bunch of dudes walking around in furry costumes with plugs sticking out their butts shaped like tails. However, these pictures suggest she handled the awesome FAIL like a true champion. 

This cute little pup won over the internet's heart and got his own photoshop battle after the kennel he's in posted an ad on facebook for his adoption. 

From the ad:

SPOTTED the elusive Banana in his natural environment. Showing off his crab dance.😃 this highly rare puppy is looking for his furever family. He is a chihuahua mix, with what nobody knows part crab part fruit loop it's anyone's guess. Only 100$ to snatch this silly guy up. He's been neutered, chipped and UTD on all shots.

Reddit couldn't help themselves with this photo of a cat sitting awkwardly on a step. Because how is that even comfortable, kitty? Do you have back legs? Are you a cat-loaf? Anyway, someone managed to fix the problem itself by making the cat stand up, but it's not nearly as funny as these other submissions. Enjoy!
