These are great! I love the one with all their heads lined up on top of each other.

The white shirts and bare feet just put this one over the top.
If you haven't had the opportunity to go to the mall and have your picture taken, you most probably have seen it in films. You know, it’s not that common anymore, but people online are bringing this trend back!
For The Win shares that before the year 2000, the best photo shoots featured big hair, glasses, teased bangs, and outfits harmonized down to the shoes. Though it made no sense, everything you did in them seemed to work. Now, JCPenney, a retail icon from the 1990s, is leading the trend of these unhinged shoots again!

Also, according to Complex, JCPenney is making money off of the nostalgia and extremely uncomfortable postures that go along with such photo shoots.
In fact, now on TikTok, the hashtag #jcpenneyphotoshoot has collected over 107 million views. My Modern Met shared that the whole photoshoot is about taking your family to the department store and acting out some of the clichés associated with holiday photos. Many people arrived wearing ugly Christmas sweaters, pajamas or matching denim outfits to set the vibe.

Online users are adoring these videos, which show not only the final results of this photoshoot but also the hilarious behind-the-scenes moments, complete with odd poses, laughter and reactions. People do these photoshoots with their friends, siblings or partners - and as you can see, every one of them is hilarious!
It's not only a wonderful way to make lasting memories, but a great gift idea for your parents or friends! Who wouldn’t love to see their parents' reaction and have a good laugh at the Christmas table?!

Like the three headed knight from MP and the Holy Grail, I bet they never brush the middle one's teeth.

I love seeing the genetics in these siblings. Using the bottom pic as a reference, the (girls are #s 1-3 left to right) girl 3 and the boy have the same nose, as goes for girls 1 and 2. Girl 1 and 3 have the same eyes, the other set of like eyes belong to girl 2 and the boy. Girls 2 and 3 along with the boy all have the same facial shape, and all 4 of them have the same great smile!

One on the left is the best. It's like a child holding onto your leg for dear life, except artistic with a just a bit of, potentially incestuous, sexual tension. Fantastic.

They're too cute in the first picture to be considered awkward. The second one looks they just got bad news.

apparently the sitting on one's legs thing is supposed to be awkward, but all I can think about is how impressive it is to hold up a human sitting on your feet like that

No, the wheelbarrow flipped over. I think maybe they store it like that so it doesn’t fill with rain.

They could be siblings? Or maybe he’s just really funny and nice.

What do you think ?

At best this is a great demonstration of the age demographic of people participating in tik tok trends.

Anyone else really need some context of relationships of these individuals? Siblings? Significant others? Some would be adorable if they were couples but a tad disconcerting if they were siblings. Regardless I enjoyed this and am feeling the need to go purchase a wheelbarrow.

Don't hate. The whole theme was fun, not something to be hung in the "hallowed halls". Think tongue in cheek!

Sorry, but I just don't "get it". Why would anyone pose for such stupid photos ? Very childish.

First day back at school this last August, I'd say at least 2/3rds of the girls were all wearing 90s-style "mom jeans" and crop tops. I mean, it was "the look" for the fall (for a certain demographic anyway), but I've never seen so many people dressed essentially the same way - and I went to high school and college in the 90s!
