Jimmy Fallon's recent Hashtags segment #MyFamilyIsWeird reminds us that every family is a little crazy. It's always scary to introduce an outsider to your folks and their bizarre ways. But the fact that everybody else has to go through the same thing should provide some comfort.
Bored Panda invites you to take a look at this hilarious weird family list and who knows, maybe an uncle that teaches his nephews to drive in the cemetery (because you can't kill anyone there, duh) will make yours look at least a little bit less crazy.

And now the family gets a BIG jar of 'seasoning' every year at Christmas
Pizza with that oregano and Burritos with that coriander never before made them so happy. Particularly if the food. starts to talk back.
Load More Replies...ummmm... somehow I can't image a mother using something she found in her teenager's room to make dinner
I agree. She probably found it in some kind of prescription bottle or a baggie too.
Load More Replies...OMG this is so great!My friend made regular brownies and weed brownies and she gave the wrong ones away! Seeing her southern Baptist high was soo funny!
Random unrelated fact: currently at the time of posting this comment, my points are at 666.
I could see their family actually finding a real cat that meowed instead of their family member. 0.o
My father and I have this special whistle for this kind of thing. That's awesome that people do the same type of thing.
Yeah, my family does that too, onlyy sister can't whistle, so she just yells "fwee fwoo!" Across the store.
Load More Replies...My parents have a whistle--one will do the "call" and the other will do the "reply." When I was a teenager, I remember being so embarrassed! I also remember times when random ladies totally thought my dad was whistling at them like a catcall (even though the whistle is different) and acting all offended. Little did they know, my parents were just efficient at finding each other before cell phones were really a thing.
I actually do this with my husband. the replay back is two "meow's"
My friend learned received driving lessons in a cemetery. As she tried to park at the mortuary she accidently hit the gas instead of the brake and rammed the side of the building. She broke 3 headstones that were on display inside!
That's how I learned... then again, my father was a grave digger, so that would explain his choice
Fairly sure it's illegal for any cars except hearses and funeral limos to drive in cemeteries, at least in the UK. Just out of plain respect for the dead
I stabbed their eyes if they looked at me in a creepy fashion when I was younger.
that's just sad. Why is there a rule that at a certain age you need to be married? "labels"....
Yes, it is rude. So when facing that situation I drink freely and when met with a disapproving look, "hey, none of those kids are mine. I get to drink."
Load More Replies...Someone just needs to get divorced. That'll make the seating arrangement awkward enough to hopefully end it
Is there a "teens who don't want to AIT with the adults or the little kids because bother groups are 'boring'" table?
We used to have an adults' table and a kids' table. Now that all the kids are over 18 we have a have-kids table and a don't-have-kids table. My Uncle sits with us on the don't-have-kids side.
Hmm, maybe my family in Cyprus has this? Oh gosh, I'll be on the "non-married, HURRY UP AND GET MARRIED" table :(
Why does the dad know how to twerk? I'd assume the daughter would be the teacher.
HAHAHAHA I can see it now! My mum, asking in her Cypriot accent "FILIIIIP, wot is twerrkink?" haha!
Doesn't sound like a crisis, sounds like he decided to take up some hobbies. And really cool ones at that. I'd LOVE a telescope, and I'm a 30 year old woman, so it's not a guy thing either.
(I just thought I had to point out that I am a woman because my name is unisex, especially where I'm from, and also in scandanavian countries )
Load More Replies...BAHAHAHA OMG! I laughed out loud at that one! Probably a little too much!
I think that is not weird but pretty common for the pre-prior generation. Ever heard of the "six-month babies" who surprisingly were normally grown despite being born six months after the wedding?
Yup, there were a lot of premature babies around. Surprisingly well developed, healthy premature babies. And it's also a huge coincidence how many couples conceived on their wedding night.
Load More Replies...Hmmm that's one way. I get a kick out of the echo standing between my two radios I have on when I'm cleaning.
I don't understand why someone would have 3 TVs in the first place, but if you've got old TVs, might as well put them to good use.
Can you please tell my dad that? He tends to keep appliances that do not bloody work in the garage and they all take up so much space!
Load More Replies...Are you sure? I think we need to start a debate. ⬅︎Thats a joke. 0.o
Load More Replies...That's not really a debate, though. They were categorically on a break. The only question is whether that meant it was ok for Ross to hook up with someone else (I think definitely no because he didn't even wait for a few days) and therefore whether Rachel should have taken him back. X'D Either way, I didn't think they were such a great couple. Monica and Chandler were a better couple in every way!
Rachel was so much happier and managed to do so much more with her life when she wasn't with Ross. Ross was clingy, whiny, manipulative, and couldn't let things go - ever! Saying you're moving on and proposing to another woman, only to say Rachel's name during the wedding is wrong on so many levels. Hahaha. Can I join your family debate? I'm great at politics too X'D
Load More Replies...My dad and I always argue over whether or not you can call stuffing "stuffing" if it wasn't actually cooked in a turkey. (You can)
Thanks for the attention caturday, LOL, still I love how maturely Pi react to it :3, well it was an obvious joke didn't mean to be that lame xd
Load More Replies...It's usually faster and burns less gas. Not as much idling and waiting to turn left.
what if you are a lefty while you drive in london ?
Load More Replies...What if she had to take a left turn to pull into her destination or to get out of the way of something?
You have a mental illness, She is Fine and I like her
Load More Replies...Think that Strange? you know what else is Strange ? the fact that no body give a f**k you said it is, ...Only ME
Load More Replies..."HEY! Who turned out the lights?" Doctor who reference if you didn't understand
But that line has also been in about a million movies X'D lol.
Load More Replies..." 'Now YOU know. Now YOU know what it's like to live in MY brain' - Homeless Schizophrenic" - John Mulaney
I hope the grandpa was ok... I wonder what his reaction was though. Maybe it was like this😫 or this😨 or maybe this😄 Or maybe he told her “Why did you turn on the light.”
I cant decide whats worse. losing your dentures, or finding someones after the loop
I read that one year Madame Toussades found 32 pairs of dentures and a false leg in their unclaimed lost property area. I don't know if it's true, but it's definitely odd.
Load More Replies...Almost lost my glasses mid loop on a rollercoaster. Caught them mid air as we came around right side up.
My dad does this, If you try and take the remote he wakes up and somehow knows what he was watching while asleep
My dad once did that when we were walking by a field with a bull in it. I was very little. Unfortunately we hadn't walked past the gate yet. When we got to it we saw it was open and the bull didn't like my dad's friendly greeting - maybe his accent was wrong and he'd said something rude; ) - my dad picked up my sister and started running and my mom and I were left trailing behind. I was scared of all cattle for a long time after that and I didn't find mooing at cows quite so funny for a while.
When my mom and my dad drove by a flock of sheep she rolled down her window and screamed, "YO SHEEP!!" It started a stampede.
that is a disgusting insult to the submitter of the post
Load More Replies...It's better than getting divorced and then spending the rest of their lives enacting petty revenge schemes on one another. Not that I have ever seen that.
My parents have been divorced for 15 years since I was 22 and we all still celebrate the holidays together.
That's actually quite nice. I wish my family was like that. My parents are still together but it's just the rest of the family, like my dads brother and two sisters who always fight with him. Also, my mums 2 brothers and parents live in Cyprus so it's just 3 of us celebrating holidays together.
Load More Replies...That's pretty good and mature thing i had ever heard about couples who split up.
Better then my parents. Mom still has issues and it's been 15 years...
My parents divorced when I was 8 years old and have remained good friends since.. They've helped each other out over the years and we spend Christmas day together
They were also both present in the delivery room with my sister when gave birth to my eldest niece
Load More Replies...I could see that relative that never goes to the family gathering but shows up to the funeral and everyone turns to him/her and says, “you aren’t any any of these photos.” 🤔😶🙁😮😦#AwkwardMoment😶
I'm going with realist... we're all going to die sooner or later. She just wants her funeral to be awesome.
Load More Replies...Waiter/Server at restaurant: "Here is your BAaaasket(In a sheep tone/voice) of bread."
OMG your comment made me laugh like an idiot, because that's something that I'd probably do
Load More Replies...This reminds me of a thing me and some of my friends do, sometimes when we go to a restaurant. If you play along (which you don't have to) you put your credit card in a hat with all the others that play along. The waiter then has to draw a card from the hat, and this person has to pay the stuff of everyone, except of the ones that didn't play along of course. It's always so much fun to arguee whether or not to play along or be on the safe side and just pay your stuff. Because maybe you end up eating for free and especially if your on a budget that can be pretty cool. Buuut if you end up paying, that sucks big time. In addition we added a little rule so that the person paying can never be the same in a row.
This is weird and wrong at the same time. Stupid, sarcastic, honestly goodwilled? I cannot tell.
pls shut the entire f**k up. you are being toxic and pandas should not have to deal with you.
Load More Replies...I crochet, she tallies winners everyone needs something to occupy there time.
OMG LOL! Sorry, I know, it's insensitive of me to laugh, but things to do with farts always make me laugh.
That's horrible... yet I'm laughing. I'm going to hell if there's such a place
We would all get 5 cents if this were Canada. See? You get more money in Canada.
I hope he left 2 cents to everyone he could, until there was no more money. 0.o
HAHAHAHA oh that's horrible but bloody hilarious! That'd probably be something my dad would say
Well if she was dead, yes that might make sense, but im worries about his sanity f she was just injured!
Is anyone else thinking of Eddy Murphy's "cookout skit" from Delirious? Kills me every time!
Is anyone else thinking of the cookout scene from Eddie Murphy's delirious? "You come here every year Gus, and you burn down my motherf***** backyard! I'm cooking hamburgers and franks; I ain't cookin' no motherf****** branasaurus burger! This ain't the motherf***** Flinstones, Gus! It's my HOUSE MOTHERF*****!" Kills me every time! LMFAO!
You can reuse spent teabags by putting them on the soil of your houseplants or composting them. Lots of plants like tea and coffee.
Load More Replies...But they would absorb the water and dissolve if it's just a paper plate.
I know they don't mean to be (I hope) but sometimes kids say things that are really really creepy.
Well they are but I don't think that everyone has to listen. It's what earphones are for.
HAHA He must be a Greek...only our Greek grandfathers do that. And grandmothers LMFAO!
In Bulgaria there is a tradition that you have to steal a plant in order it to survive and blossom after planting. Of course one should not bring it so far...
Load More Replies...He took the term "keep your wallet where your mouth is” to literally. 0.o
I first read it wrong and thought you said they found two " penis" 😱😯😲 I was like " how the hell did they get stuck there? And where's the rest of the men's bodies?!!! 😱😱
I don't even want to know how or why they were put there in the first place :O
Agreed. It's not as tasty as a cupcake, but it would be more filling.
Load More Replies...My mum would probably be the kind of person to get those two words mixed up as well
I can see how u can pronounce it that way never seeing it written down. Qu-ich-e pronounced phonetically kw-ick-y
My family just left the tree up, until someone decided today was the day to take down.
That is so sad! We leave our tree up till at least January 15th!(also we're to lazy to do it anytime sooner!)
Everyone knows that one guy whose done and seen everything amazing but somehow is still working at burger king
My grandma steels egg rolls from Chinese food buffets and puts them in her purse wrapped in napkins. She could never figure out what the dog liked rearing her purse apart for. Umm I assume residual egg roll smell.
So it's not weird to go to mediocre restaurants with terrible service in other countries. Good to know
Load More Replies...I used to put a stick of butter on a couple of tortillas layered with cinnamon and sugar as a kid. ahh to be young again...
I used to do the same except with no cinnamon. Now I have to go try this ha ha
Load More Replies...My father eats salted butter sandwiches thick cheese sized slices... He's only 160 pounds.... I'm jealous.
One time as a kid I found a bowl left over from mom's cooking with what i thought was cookie dough on the sides. It was actually straight butter.
Meh as long as it's washed. I use my spoons for re-potting houseplants not worrying about a little soil.
Just don’t ask her what the bowls were used for... Just don’t ask any questions, like ever, like never ever. 0.o XD
Could be worse. She could have sent a message about the uncle getting his first bra at 43.
I would've killed my mom if she'd done that. Leave my awkward pubescent body out of your Christmas greetings to a bunch of people, thankuverymuch
Man! I feel so sorry her! my mom still purposely embarrasses me, but she never did that and so I am grateful!
The fact that you can even functionally do kareoke together is very impressive. My family can never agree on music.
Just wait a few years and see who’s back at the family gathering. 0.o
curiosity is never a bad thing... although with kids it can be a bit annoying sometimes
My grandpa prefered to use the backyard... and always gave a bounty of cheap a*s socks and every gift event. The great depression did some weird things to some people
But at least if you have an Internet connection you can find out and remedy the situation - people can steal your identity by going through your trash and finding letters from your bank, which you wouldn't have on paper if you used email. Or they could pickpocket you and steal your driver's license and social security card. If you're single, illegal immigrants can use your identity to marry you to gain legal status in the country you live in. So you might as well get an Internet connection so you can at least keep track of your own identity.
Everyone underestimates the usefulness of a micro-cutting shredder.
Load More Replies...There was a time, not that long ago, when the internet didn't exist... Good on him. He knows his limitations and sticks by them.
In AZ we get flash floods so don't camp in a really flat area near some greenery. Woke up to about 30 tarantulas clinging to the outside of the tent when a storm kicked up
In case people don't get how weeeet it really is
Load More Replies...In my family, when people get divorced, the unrelated spouse usually doesn't stop being part of the family. Not even if they get remarried. I thought this was normal until my husband kept asking questions about why they're still coming to holiday and family gatherings. Lol
