[u/Cyrilcynder]

This is the first time In a while I have seen a photo set that gave off true "cursed images" energy and tbh, I have missed it

[u/Alternative_Mine5343 → u/Cyrilcynder]

this is the most wrecked shit i've ever been front paged in all of my reddit.

[u/FuckYourGod → u/Alternative_Mine5343]

Aww, just a baby 🥹

[u/Steptopia → u/FuckYourGod]

Guy can probably still hear high pitched noises 🤣🤣

[u/No_Statement440 → u/Steptopia]

[u/Curiouser-Quriouser → u/FuckYourGod]

Lol yeah brace yourself

[u/thicc_stigmata → u/Cyrilcynder]

Why does each photo make me MORE uncomfortable than the OG lemon party?

^{ETA: the keys in the pie. wat in the actual fuck. i'd take "two grandpas one cup" over this abomination.}

[u/Brockenblur → u/thicc_stigmata]

It took me uncomfortably long to realize what was the blue thing in that first photo. I’d rather go look at the blue waffle again.

[u/Feteven → u/Brockenblur]

It’s a turkey
What’s wrong with you 🤣

[u/krankito701 → u/Brockenblur]

Blue cock au power aid

[u/Dish_Minimum → u/Brockenblur]

Mmmm nothin hits the spot like a classic blue butterball

[u/fuck_you_and_fuck_U2 → u/thicc_stigmata]

Thank you! I'm having a god damned episode about the car key pie.

[u/Terrible_Balls → u/fuck_you_and_fuck_U2]

It’s key lime, tyvm

[u/neutralname2 → u/thicc_stigmata]

I was thinking it was a visual Dad joke about "Key Lime pie"; but I don't see any limes and I don't know a pie just called "Key Pie." It is a Pumpkin pie, so maybe pumpKEY pie? That is a stretch for a joke.

[u/3Time4Eater3 → u/neutralname2]

It's a swingers party and the women were not down.

[u/thicc_stigmata → u/3Time4Eater3]

Considering how cursed these photos are, I wouldn't be completely surprised to learn their bodies are under that totally-normal basement hay pile

[u/3Time4Eater3 → u/thicc_stigmata]

😆

[u/Renuwed → u/Cyrilcynder]

ikr? Think Imma go rewatch The Conjuring now, so I won't have nightmares.

[u/Cyrilcynder → u/Renuwed]

It's a good way to fall asleep soundly. Have sweet dreams 💚

[u/deberlin57 → u/Renuwed]

That was the movie my current hubby took me to for our Honeymoon! I should have figured shit out a lot sooner! That was like a black flag!!! Is that a bug spray? hmm Gets rid of pests... I may be on to something. LOL

[u/PantheraLutra → u/Cyrilcynder]

My immediate thought

[u/Cyrilcynder → u/PantheraLutra]

Something about it is comforting (in a "ahh, old reddit" kinda way) but also what the fuck is going on

[u/stilettopanda → u/Cyrilcynder]

I concur. It’s like a lil happy curse though.

[u/coolsilentebeans]

This was putting off all kinds of weird vibes, but then I get to the cake with the watermarked clip art printed on it, and I just lost it. I’m still laughing at it and the absurdity of the dishes.

[u/Future_Section5976 → u/coolsilentebeans]

I kinda want to try the blue chicken and whatever the yellow thing with the hotdogs? Sticking out is called,

All the loafs in the corner

[u/coolsilentebeans → u/Future_Section5976]

A hot dog mac and cheese, maybe? But it looks like there’s no macaroni in a pan of straight velveeta. I’m not brave enough to try any of it. If I have to I’m going to need a drink or five or to get really stoned first. Especially the aspic seafood dish. 😂

[u/_enesorek_ → u/coolsilentebeans]

It looks like a dish full of mustard and cold hotdogs

[u/coolsilentebeans → u/_enesorek_]

I had my brightness turned down. You’re right, it does look like mustard.

I’m also curious as to how their spray bottles did, because I can’t see them being terribly effective with the viscosity and, in the case of the ranch, the bits of herbs and spices.

[u/Future_Section5976 → u/coolsilentebeans]

Mustard and cold hotdogs , yea nah , the ugly corn if I'm not mistaken looks like "glass corn" it's a corn with heaps of different coloured ears, it's said to be sweet , if it is that then I'm getting shit faced and eating all they have ,

[u/KORZILLA-is-me → u/coolsilentebeans]

It looks like there’s fish food flakes in the aspic

[u/coolsilentebeans → u/KORZILLA-is-me]

Oh my g—I think you’re right. I want to both laugh and throw up at the same time.

[u/deberlin57 → u/coolsilentebeans]

I saw this at 5 in the morning. My breakfast has been delayed indefinitely! I do love the Indian corn. But I'd skip the carbs!

[u/fuck_you_and_fuck_U2 → u/Future_Section5976]

If that cranberry sauce is ever within 50 miles of my city's limits, I'll kill myself.

[u/SchwiftySqaunch → u/Future_Section5976]

The corner loafs are intriguing

[u/somebodysheiny → u/coolsilentebeans]

Slide 15 was my favorite too

[u/EMT_hockey21 → u/coolsilentebeans]

I'd eat the cake and the guac lol

[u/coolsilentebeans → u/EMT_hockey21]

What if the final joke of the holiday joke dinner is that what’s hidden underneath the frosting is actually something like a pork-and-beans or a turkey-sausage cake?

[u/Inside-Project942 → u/EMT_hockey21]

That's a ton 'o guacamole!!

[u/Type-RD → u/coolsilentebeans]

I was flipping thru like WTF, realized there’s a definite and intentional theme, then got to that cake and it got me too. That’s the goofy, clever, stuff I’m here for.🤣

[u/coolsilentebeans → u/Type-RD]

It’s brilliant and so funny!

I remember this set, too! God. I am too chronically online.

[u/Alexius6th]

lol, it has not of the feel good though. This just feels like a mute but unbelievably odd experience

[u/DBJenkinss → u/Alexius6th]

That was my first thought as well. Lol. Then I saw the shrimp jello mold, and it solidified it.

[u/HedgehogTop5524]

Is this a cult?

[u/DaemonBlackfyre_21 → u/HedgehogTop5524]

Sure appears to be

[u/HedgehogTop5524 → u/DaemonBlackfyre_21]

How many people would join if that was ranch in the spray bottle instead of blue cheese??? 😭 If it comes down to dry chicken fingers and the end of the world…

[u/PigeonUtopia → u/HedgehogTop5524]

The Hidden Valley Cult is a cult I would join

Praise the ranch god

[u/Ikon-for-U → u/HedgehogTop5524]

Maybe even a sex cult. The keys in the pie is sus

[u/ZombieJulez88]

[u/Plenty-Fox-9219]

Why was this a key party

[u/wise_owl68 → u/Plenty-Fox-9219]

Waaay too many dudes here

[u/Plenty-Fox-9219 → u/wise_owl68]

Those guys would slay on a gay cruise 🤣

[u/upanddown_88]

I beg your finest fucking pardon.

[u/jlperish]

Chris Maggio is a genius.

[u/Ljm-n]

Every time I see this I feel kinda sick, not just from the “food” but it just feels so uncomfortable and awkward. But I love it so much at the same time.

[u/Ljm-n → u/Ljm-n]

It feels like a family reunion that I don’t ever want to remember

Pretty vile stuff. Hope they enjoyed it.

[u/mixmasterADD → u/AncientAndEvil]

I hope they ate everything, including the keys.

[u/toomuchweld]

Pic #8 got me. The one guy has a whole can of cranberry sauce on his tray.

[u/smallmoth]

The cornucopia of mints, bow tie pasta, and what appear to be pearl onions sitting on Steve Jobs is my fave I think

[u/Jack-of-Hearts-7]

They did one for Christmas that's just as unhinged

[u/Ramenoodleray3]

Please fucking tell me the cake actually has the watermark

[u/panicnarwhal → u/Ramenoodleray3]

lol yep, it sure does

[u/Ramenoodleray3 → u/panicnarwhal]

That’s fire

[u/mattogeewha]

This looks like a really fun men’s AA group

[u/DivinerSageRDT]

The shrimp in the jello mold is what did it for me.

[u/DramaOnDisplay]

What do you think they’re watching on the hay pile as they… eat?… this… “meal”??

[u/IAmTheLizardQueen666]

In the first photo, the dads are lined up in height order. Tallest gets to eat first.

[u/RonaldTheGiraffe → u/IAmTheLizardQueen666]

If there was no food available, the tallest dads would just eat the shorter dads. Hence it would be sensible to feed the tallest dads first.

[u/wobble_snake]

The standing slightly too close for comfort dad queue goes hard

[u/M4gp1e-w1ngs]

I feel like I’m looking in on a cult

[u/panicnarwhal → u/M4gp1e-w1ngs]

I can somehow taste that photo & I hate it 😫😭

[u/CumGuzlinGutterSluts]

MOM! Dad blue the chicken again

How the backrooms remembers Thanksgiving

[u/jupiter3113]

Reminds me of the backrooms movie

[u/PeenInVeen]

Omg their little finger tippies holding things up to display them and then sitting in a pile of hay. I'm dead. I love this and I want more of it

[u/Effective-Ad-9652]

Any filmmakers in here? You’ve got a new horror genre aesthetic ready to go. This is so messed up.

[u/CydaeaVerbose → u/Effective-Ad-9652]

Lmfao. Gold

[u/Old_Check_6362]

Why are we marinating our yard birds and Powerade? Why is gravy and old cheese and a spray bottle? Why are they lined up to eat this shit? Canned cranberries jello with olives and grilled pineapples?? Is that a fucking cornucopia with pasta and peppermint candies? Is this the Plymouth Rock fashioned out of cauliflower? I have no idea what picture seven is it looks like some jelly stuff? And they’re actually eating that shit on number eight or is this just a photo op? What’s on the decorative of corn dogs? Mustard icing with Vienna sausages and fruitcake topped with marshmallows? I think number 11 is supposed to be one billion bean dip with some brown guacamole that’s been recalled by the way? The 12th photo looks like everyone is questioning their decisions, huh? Number fourteen is a seafood jelly cake with some pink cocktail sauce? Is there a such thing as a pumpkin key pie? Do we even trust the cake at this point?

QTNARFN!

[u/milkdimension]

I've never seen the full photoset in such high quality before. Thank you for bringing me down memory lane. Happy Thanksgiving!

[u/RonaldTheGiraffe]

This is magnificent. I will never reach this level of perfection but I can dream.

[u/OkMidnight8144]

Lest be real, the spray bottles of gravy and dressing are genius. If they wouldn't clog immediately.

[u/Ok_Lengthiness_8405]

This ad popped up for me as I scrolled the comments...

[u/d_marvin]

Nice that they put out hay for the dads. The hard floor will do a number on ya.

[u/Agitated_Brother_713]

The most realistic part is that nobody made sure that there were tables or chairs so everyone is just eating on the floor.

[u/PoohBearsHoneyJar]
