Awkward Family Photos - the Father's Day edition: Embarrassing dads show how to really ruin a picture



With their lack of dress sense, shame and ability to crack a smile for a family photograph, dads have long been able to make the simplest of pictures excruciatingly awkward.



And gathered here are some of the very best/worst examples this, released by Awkward Family Photos just in time for Sundays Father's Day.



Long known as the 'Forgotten Holiday', the collection of goofy, weird and downright embarrassing dads on display here go a long way to reminding us why .

Yes, I'm with him: For one daughter it seems that dad's photo-face is a long running issue

From posing in a posing pouch to introducing his daughter to his favourite chainshaw, these dads just don't seem to know the boundaries of acceptable behaviour.

One particular father has even decided that the best way to show his undying and unconditional love for his wife and two girls would be to have them tattooed on his back.

Daddie's girls: This dad is justifiably proud of his two kids as his silly grin shows

Some of the dads are simply oblivious to the needs of their children as one father proves by throwing him as far as he can into the air so that his head connects with an overhanging branch.

The dads in these pictures seem to excel at showing up their understanding families, but for one day a year that will not matter.

Just in case he ever forgets: One dad has decided to carry permanent tattoos of his girls on his back
