It’s Hashtags time, dear Pandas! The one, the only, the irresistibly humorous Jimmy Fallon is once again making us smile, giggle, and chortle when we’re supposed to be working or studying. This time, the critically acclaimed comedian has asked his loyal fun-loving followers to share the funny, weird, and embarrassing things that their family members have done or said. Naturally, when Fallon asks you to jump, you ask, “How high?” So people responded by posting under the #MyFamilyIsWeird hashtag, much to everyone’s amusement.

We’ve collected some of the best tweets for you to enjoy below, so go on and have a read. We think the stories are great and we hope so will you. And we know that every family has its weirdness, so we can’t wait to hear your own hilarious family stories—drop us a line in the comment section at the very bottom!

Samantha Scroggin, who runs the 'Walking Outside in Slippers' blog about parenting, told Bored Panda all about how families can develop fun (and weird!) little rituals that might seem quirky to others but help all of us deal with hard times. Read on for our full interview with her!

My male cousin and I attended the same college. As we were making our way out of Freshman Orientation, he yells in a tone of disgust, “Stop asking me to be your baby-daddy. I’m your brother!” I wanted to die.

    As I understand, white meat is breast and dark meat should be the leg. The puritans made this up because they feared the name of the bodyparts to be too sexual.

    "One of my favorite ways to spend time with my husband and two kids is by goofing around, and I love little rituals and routines. Aside from the basic routines like waking up for school and work and having breakfast, and brushing teeth and reading books before bed, we love to pull out our karaoke machine and cheer each other on as we take turns singing Disney classics," Samantha, the founder of 'Walking Outside in Slippers,' told Bored Panda about the fun and lovable traditions in her own family.

    In Samantha's opinion, rituals just like that help bring a little bit of light and a pinch of laughter into our lives that have changed much since the start of the Covid-19 lockdowns. "Life can be challenging, especially in a pandemic. Previously basic practices like getting up and going to school have changed entirely. For my family and me, humor has been a great way to help cope with the changes."

    She continued: "If my kids see Mom and Dad still laughing and joking, their situation will probably feel a little less scary. We’re OK, and so are they. My kids also love when they can make us crack up over some little comic they drew or joke they tell. Laughing together is a positive experience all around."

    For Samantha, there is only one way forward—fully embrace the weirdness and the goofiness! "At least in my family, we know we’re a bunch of weirdos and we embrace that. We all like to perform and act and be silly. But I think the way you behave is normal to you and your family. The key is to embrace the differences between individuals and families, and know that it’s those differences and quirks that make us all special," she shared, and we fully agree with her.

    In a series of in-depth interviews, Bored Panda previously spoke about late-night TV shows, how they’ve been adapting to the Covid-19 pandemic, and how to get noticed by hosts like Fallon with Mike Sington, an LA-based entertainment, pop-culture, and celebrity expert who is known as Hollywood’s Ultimate Insider.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    According to entertainment expert Mike, US late-night TV shows have been adapting very well to the year-long coronavirus pandemic, the lockdowns, and the constantly-changing restrictions. Now that multiple Covid vaccines are being rolled out, things are getting even better for the entertainment industry.

    Mike revealed to us that one thing that we can most certainly look forward to is an easing of restrictions in New York City where they’ll be allowing audiences of up to 100 people in April. Talk about a breath of fresh air!

    "I’m sure the shows will take advantage of that. My prediction is the late-night shows will be back to where they were pre-Covid this summer," the expert told Bored Panda.

    In Mike’s opinion, there are several things that each and every single one of us can do if we want our posts to get noticed by Fallon and his team on social media. It’s all about persistence, patience, and (you could argue most importantly) having a fun, witty, interesting true story to tell.

    “All the shows have social media teams that are writing and monitoring content. To grab the late-night hosts’ attention, tag the show! They will see it, they monitor every post they are tagged in,” Mike said.

    “If the post particularly stands out, they will forward it to the writing team for the show. Other than that, it’s just a matter of luck, or a story gaining traction on social media. The writers are monitoring social media in general, combing it for content to use. You never know when something will catch their eye, and a great story is likely to pop and catch their attention."

    things like this make me sad, never be embarrassed about something like that because one day you won't get them anymore and you'll feel bad. I remember about a year or two ago my fiance got upset when his grandparents sent another box (they send several a month sometimes) they are always filled with calendars pens and random clothing for his (our) youngest. Trust me when I say two years ago I probably had over 25 calandars. Lol. He called them and said, you guys don't need to waste your money, we are fine, but thank you." when he hung up I said don't you dare do that ever again. He said "Why?" I said because one day those boxes won't be coming anymore and you will miss it. You are lucky, you still have your granparents to "spoil" you, Mine have been gone for over 15 years" he has never complained again

    In Mike’s opinion, late-night hosts have done a fabulous job surfing the waves caused by the constantly shifting Covid-19 regulation landscape. They’ve had to greatly adapt to the new rules, a lack of a live audience, and a world that spoke almost exclusively about pandemic-related topics.

    My in-laws have lots of wild turkeys around them. I doubt anyone would survive this game around there. We counted over 600 in their hay field one evening.

    Well, have you explained female anatomy to him yet? Otherwise it's not at all weird he doesn't know about bodies unlike his own. We all tend to think our experiences are universal until we learn they are not.

    Used to think some girls had penises because I didn’t understand some kids going into the other gender’s bathrooms with parents. Androgynous kid in my swim class always had his goggles on and after when we all showered with parents help obviously we were naked, I was like three. Talking to my mom a few years later I was very confused to learn it was a boy.

    We were staying in a cabin and my daughter and I were watching a nature show. The voice over was talking about wood ducks. At one point he explained that you should watch out, wood ducks can pop any where. I grabbed a pillow hit my daughter with it and shouted "Wood Duck". That was several years ago, she's in her 20's now and I'm in my 60's every once in a while the wood duck attack still happens.

    This made me think of something: did your parents hide your Easter basket for Easter morning? My whole Catholic family does this. It was only after I had my first kid that I learned no one else does this. I started looking for a good place to hide her Easter basket and my husband (at the time)thought I was crazy hiding the basket. I started asking around and only my family did it. We hide eggs off course, too. But it was fun waking up Easter morning searching for the basket. Best hiding place is the dryer.

    To keep my son occupied and make Birthdays last longer I'd write clues for him to follow to find at least one gift. They weren't easy, he had to think them through and some, weren't easy to get to. I "hid" one in the middle of our pool. He'd end up in the front yard, basement, back yard, kitchen etc. The best part was he didn't want help, no matter how hard. I couldn't tell my husband, he'd tell him where it was.

    When my daughter was about 3, I bought a 4' tall inflatable birthday cake. It became a tradition that I'd plug in the cake after the kids went to bed the night before their birthday and put the presents around it for them to walk out to in the morning. I've also gotten it out when I've had my mom over for dinner on HER birthday. Same for my brother and my dad. Pretty much, if you're at our house to celebrate your birthday, the cake will be inflated. There have even been several times that someone has actually remembered to set it up on MY birthday! My kids are 18 and almost 21 now and I think it's the best purchase I've ever made! We have years and years of pictures of different family members sitting by the cake on their birthday!

    My friend's family would always dress up in matching pyjamas for their annual Christmas card. One time they couldn't find matching pyjamas for the dad, so what did they do? Body paint. They painted his entire body (not very well) with the pyjama pattern. They could've just gone with a different set, but no. No he wasn't wearing underwear. Knowing how I felt seeing that on Christmas morning, I can't imagine how my friend felt knowing that had been sent to everyone he knew.

    This might sound absurd for a man, but being drugged through your drink is stupidly common for women, and you are often taught to throw away your drink if it is even out of your sight for a moment.

    Wife does the same - If a drink was out of sight for even a minute - she says it may be drugged... Sadly, not a bad habit to have.

    I was in a store like Home Depot, large with nothing that absorbed sound, and my several months old son let out a noise, kind of a scream but more of a large volume noise that made my teeth hurt. People all around us stopped and stared. I don't know if they thought I'd hurt him or what but he was just fine, started laughing. He never did it again I really wanted him to do it again, just so I could prove to people it really happened.
