Sure, his framing can be weird, but we get to pay him in mashed peas.

Hank and Annie got engaged? I'm not surprised. Those two are attached at the hip.

"Okay, what's everyone doing with their hands? I'm going to hold a pumpkin!" -Rusty

"Me too!" -Jay

"I'm going to hold a knee!" -Mom

"I'll hold two!" -Dad

"I'm going to hold my own hand!" -Beth

"I'm going to run away." -Dog

"Awkward Family Photos" is a fun blog that posts the worst and most embarrassing family pics around. Sometimes their stuff is squirm-inducing enough to be shared here.

And, of course, ABC is making that blog into a sitcom. There's two Twitter-based shows on CBS. And now this?

Mike already created @JohnnySitcom, a TV-ready character, ripe for development. But I'm suggesting they just take the Tosh.0 blog and make it into a show. Put it on Comedy Central or something.

Every other blog gets it's own show! Why can't we do one with, like, viral videos and parodies and stuff?

All I'm saying is it's a GREAT idea and I'd be TOTALLY down to host it. Or, whatever, they could get someone with a catchier last name.

Woman: "I am going to hold my giant pregnant stomach and my boob. I'll be naked. You need to hold something round as well. And you should be dressed."

Man: "OK. What could I hold? We didn't bring anything with us. We just have the car. Oh! I know. I'll hold a tire."

Woman: "That would be beautiful."

Man: "I'll wear my white dress shirt."

Woman: "Great. What about our earrings?"

Man: "Let's wear the same ones."

Woman: "Perfect."

Awkward Family Photos always follows through with… awkward family photos. But rarely do they nail something that's so simultaneously "awkward family" and "Internet geek."

"Where's the 'family' here?" Don't give me that shit. People like me and Harold Ramis* here are wed to Internet — this is clearly a family photo.

The best part of being married to the Internet is that she always helps you dress in the morning. Here's a tricky one that young Egon confronted that morning: khaki jeans. They're khakis but they're jeans. He wanted to wear black shoes, but black shoes don't go so well with khakis. What to do? Compromise. Wear a black belt to match the black shoes but wear tennis shoes instead. And wear white socks and flood the pants.

*Not actually Harold Ramis.

Uncle Rick has always been the black sheep of the family, but what's worse– taking this picture or just "forgetting" to tell him about family picture day?

Running into a random "funny" image on the internet can be difficult sometimes. There's usually not that much context. It's a press photo removed from the article. It's a pic removed from a whole album. Or it's just hentai that's nonsense even with the context.

This is one of those out-of-context pictures (not the hentai kind). I'm not sure what to laugh at.

• Is it the cartoon Christmas tree in the background? Or that awesome chair?
• Is it the pig character who I don't remember being part of the Nutcracker Ballet?
• Is it the kid in the bottom right who's feeling left out?
• Is it the kid on the bottom left who's dressed like a furry?

I think it's the last one.

This was found in the women's restroom.

Since we're an internet show, we also have an internet office. When something breaks, we fix it like There I Fixed It. All of our photographs either look awkward or have lasers in the background. And the catering truck only has bacon. Naturally, all of our notes are of the Passive-Aggressive (and sometimes, just plain aggressive) brand.
