Even better than men looking awkward in their suits is really bad wedding photography of groomsmen in some corny arrangement. It's like whoever took these pictures truly believes that the video for "My Own Worst Enemy" by Lit is the pinnacle of visual artistic expression. Included in this are pictures where the men just can't cope with the seriousness of wearing a suit and have to make some ridiculous goofy joke pose. Another common groomsmen photo cliche is to make some super tough-guy pose. What are you looking so tough about? "Watch out, I'm gonna marry the FUCK out of you, woman." It's creepy.
Oh genie of the internet, answer my Man Day Thursday prayers and grant me a cornocopia of bad groomsmen photos. Overexposure, fisheye lenses, ridiculous poses - I want it all!
this is too good, I love the third one down, mob-boss wedding? The under lighting is totally flattering because it shadows their bald heads. I love the NSYNC approach of the fifth one. JT's wedding photos? Boy bands like planes too? The eighth one just screams either gay or the sound of music, or is that the same thing? I like the pants down one.
ReplyDeleteWow, so much to enjoy here...
ReplyDeleteThe green vests make those guys look fatter.
Last shot: brown? Seriously, brown?
Vans? Really? Is Sum41 the band at the reception?
ReplyDeletepeople who get married are douches.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Also could someone please send out a memo that since the first wanker pulled it off at their junior prom in 1976, sneakers with suits is no longer ironic, cool or even cute?
ReplyDeleteI also learned that fat people have fat friends.

ReplyDeleteseconded.
what the hell is up with that backstreet boys dark one?
ReplyDeletealso: bahaha on the sum 41 comment
ReplyDeleteDialogue from the third picture down:
ReplyDeleteSecond Guy from left - "Deaud, is the mother ship still coming from behind that comet to take us home?"
Guy on far left - "Yes, but we probably should have scheduled that before the auto-castrations."
are these weddings or boy band photo shoots?
ReplyDeleteWow, it's like every genre of Christian music is represented in picture form.
ReplyDeleteCheck out the classy paper covered wire coat hanger in # 2
ReplyDeleteSome of these are awful... some of them are REALLY good... Just goes to show the writer knows nothing about photography.
ReplyDeletebut seriously, what ever happened to Lit?
ReplyDeletewhite boys are fun-nee!
ReplyDeleteNext Man Day should be Bromances.
ReplyDeleteI am concerned about what is underneath the bed in photo number 2....
ReplyDeleteWhat is that stuff??
Smog reference, awesome!
ReplyDeletei want to get you pregnant.
ReplyDeleteepic post.
baptismal photo series next?
A Clockwork Wedding?
ReplyDeleteHere's the question: How would you shoot these guys if you were in the photographer's shoes? How are you possibly going to take a creative photo of a bunch of guys all wearing the same damn tuxedo? It's harder to make that choice when it's your job and it's all been done before.
ReplyDeleteI'd also like to add that it's not always easy to get these guys to do different posed things... they don't give a shit and even when you ply them with liquor they just want to either goof around or look tough. Mock all you want, it's harder than it looks....
Each individual photo is okay, mostly harmless. It is the COLLECTION of photos themselves that is so hysterical.
ReplyDeleteI love Man Day Thursday.
Lol at the pissy commentators on this post. Chill out, it's just wedding pixs. Which are hilarious.
ReplyDeleteThe yellow vest group looks disturbingly young.
ReplyDeleteI love the dodgy photoshop on the 4th one down! It makes the two people to the right of the groom look like they're melding out of each other- like some kind of identical-suit guy mitosis.
ReplyDeletePlease note that I have changed the copyright on my image. I don't think the client would appreciate being mocked on a public forum.
ReplyDelete(The brown suits looked great for an outdoor venue)
really? no one said a word about the fatty with the fatties in sports jerseys?!?! sooo gross
ReplyDeleteyeah bro you're right, as sat Jack Sparrow "I love weddings, rum for everywhere", and a little kind weird but, true you could be a metal fan but this day all men looks like a FBI agent.
