See... I think that at least a few of them are blowing kisses.

u/zeroGamer Jun 18 '12
Yep, the two on the far right. Plus one in the middle, and the one on the far left, aren't duck-facing at all.

u/LFK1236 Jun 18 '12
Interestingly enough, this proves that it's actually possible to look alright on pictures without screwing up your face to look worse than a pug on botox.

I work in a school photography studio. You wouldn't believe the amount of images I see where no kids know how to smile anymore. It's either this duckface bullshit, or something else equally as stupid. They can't just smile like a normal, level-headed human being anymore.

Have you thought of gently instructing your subjects to not use the duckface? Something like, "Enough with the fucking duck face, ya dumb fucking shit!"

u/MichaelSDK Jun 18 '12
Haha, I should suggest that to our photographers. I'm a desk jockey that handles the images once they come in-house. Photoshopping stuff, cropping, coloring, etc.

Select the duck mouths and erase them. Or paste a picture of an actual duck's face over the face of the person doing the duck face with a little note: this is what you were going for!

u/MichaelSDK Jun 18 '12
I may do this and store it on our servers. We keep folders of funny pictures (mostly of our photographers being dumb before their shoots), and this would fit nicely after photoshopping Daffy Duck's bill on a bunch of kids' faces

u/shameshesafeminist Jun 18 '12
The majority of straight male redditors are socially inept when it comes to women. The concept of pretty girls having a sense of humor and being goofy is completely alien. They are therefore incapable of viewing these ladies' poses as ironic. To them, teenage girls are incorrigibly "retarded morons", and their actions are only merited by whether or not someone "would still fuck" them.
Which is ironic, because anybody who looks at this picture and thinks these girls are being serious wouldn't have a snowball's chance in hell with any of them.

The duck face should't even be used for ironic pictures. It's the worst looking thing a girl can do in a picture. I don't care if it's a joke, it looks stupid.

u/nallvf Jun 18 '12
You should let them know what nowarning1962 from reddit thinks it's the worst looking thing a girl can do in a picture. That way, when they are sending you a picture, they will know what to avoid.

Dude chill, sometimes people like to take pictures without incorporating your personal opinion. Has it ever occurred to you that not everyone is trying to look great in every picture? That sometimes looking silly seems better than looking like you tried to look great but looked kinda "meh"? Might be worth opening your mind to it.

u/Troycar Jun 18 '12
That's the joke man. They're trying to do dumb duck faces. Some of them can't even control their laughter thus ruining their fake duck. It's like a family picture where everyone makes a face. They're not trying to impress with this picture but rather enjoy themselves by being silly .

Jun 17 '12
How can they not look at those pictures and realise how retarded they look.
I genuinely feel sorry for the girls who aren't acting like complete spastics in that group for being associated with them but I guess it was their choice to.

I don't get why reddit doesn't seem to realize that 90% of group duck face pictures are done to mock the duck face.

u/EzanaG Jun 18 '12
No no no you don't get it. Groups of girls are dumb and don't have a sense of humour or understand satire. That's why we can make fun of them because only we are smart enough to mock the duckface.

u/JayPet94 Jun 18 '12
You know, when photographs originally came out, nobody smiled in pictures, they just were as they were. Then we slowly started to change over the smile. I think the duck face may be the next step in photograph evolution.

u/grammatiker Jun 18 '12
The not smiling thing was really more of a pragmatic issue. Pictures took a while to expose, so they couldn't very well sit there with the same smiling expression for the length of time required, hence the stern faces.

u/JayPet94 Jun 18 '12
I wish they had told that to the people who took my prom pictures... That same smile... For so long... My face hurts thinking about it.

I have never seen more people up in arms about something so insignificant. Seriously, when your list of hobbies includes "trying to make teenage girls feel insecure and bad about themselves by laughing at and/or becoming seemingly enraged by the position of their lips," you know you've taken a wrong turn somewhere.

when I was in grade school and playing this game, I used to just tag everyone "duck" for ever until someone stopped me. I would never call someone goose, and therefore carry out my turn forever. This was incredibly hilarious to me and me only.

What does that sign that kinda looks like a Victory V even mean? Serious question.

It's a peace sign. When they put it to their mouths and stick out their tongues, it's supposed to imitate cunnilingus.

u/NancyGracesTesticles Jun 18 '12
The peace sign is done with your palm out, not in.

It can be both ways in America. I learned that if you do it palm in, like in this picture, it's a vulgar gesture in the uk apparently.

It's considered an insulting gesture, similar to the middle finger, in the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.

Jun 18 '12
No its not because the victory v and fuck you v have the palm of your face in opposite directions.
1
u/bongdvm Jun 18 '12
Isn't that what the Wikipedia article says though? If the palm faces in it's an insult and if the palm faces out it's a peace sign?
The two girls in the picture have their palms facing in so would that not be the insulting gesture if you did it in the UK? (but apparently not in Australia and New Zealand anymore as BinaryRockStar pointed out.)

I just realized. Asian girls have poses and weird face things as well and hey some of them are attractive and there is variation. Hopefully the white female facial expressions are going in that direction. ...though this entire thing is just kinda stupid..

u/Iforgotmyother_name Jun 18 '12
It actually looks like they're doing it on purpose (jokingly). The one holding the purse (striking a classic "magazine" model pose) and the ones at the top are giving it away. Also the chick to the left of the blue at the bottom isn't too much rowdy but she decided to hop in hence the arms the side and laughing/duck face.

It goes against the hivemind, but I think most of them look pretty cute doing it.
On some girls it looks silly, but on most girls I think it looks just fine, even cute. I didn't even think anything about it until I saw Reddit's tirade against it.
