Old dude on the left puts Star Wars nerds to shame.

Mack Ramer said...

Creepiest family photo ever.

Brittany said...

This is the most amazing thing I have ever seen.

Cat said...

The poor kid knows it was all Dad's fault, too.

telephone snow said...

Check out that baby's face! "OMG, who's got me... is that a GIANT TURTLE?"

What in the HELL is wrong with these people? I am just astonished.

Richard said...

To anyone who doesn't realise, the "old dude on the left" is actually one of the creators of the TMNT.

Ck said...

This is why my baby is in therapy..

GREAT idea. With those boring mother's day poses, this is one she'll really love me for!

or will she accept it as a belated April Fools?

couples that look like that should be neutered.

SM said...

Where is Leonardo? On the right or on the left of the picture? Too hard to recognize that ugly turtle.

Chum said...

So this is what Corey Feldman has been doing. Gotta put those superb acting skills to work somehow...

carbonickid said...

seriously. the guy on the left is Peter Laird. He and Kevin Eastman are the creators of the ninja turtles. Yes he's a super geek, but this pic also has the slightest bit of cool to it as well.

Lolita Haze said...

I have to admit... If I could get my photo taken with Leonardo I would and I would proudly share it with the world!

Lisa said...

must comment.....mocking circuits jammed....don't know where to start....damn you TMNT!! *shakes fist*

Chica Terremoto said...

wow, he is the luckiest kid ever.

Christy Joy said...

I can't decide what I like best here: the baby's expression, how thoroughly creepy Leonardo looks, or the fact that both Laird parents appear thrilled beyond words.

Mom: "I'm so glad I finally found caring foster parents for that baby!"

Co-Creator of TMNT or not, it's still a creepy picture!!

Dad has his hand a little too affectionately on Leonardo's shell! Creepy!

This photo makes me so so happy.

Neal Snow said...

I think it's cool having your physical kid and your fictional kid photographed together. Think about that...young Mr. Laird's older brothers are the ninja turtles. I bet he's the envy of all his schoolmates.

Andrea said...

The first word that comes to mind is "CREEPY"!!!

Anonymous said...

Creepiest picture ever? Yes.

Anonymous said...

Are they going to give the baby to the turtle to be raised? Or is the turtle the real father?

Pocholokin said...

Leonardo is the real father of this baby? xD

Anonymous said...

That's just weird.

Heenah said...

WHAT WHAT WHAT!!
Christmas card.

Nautical Nestor said...

This is the coolest thing that I've ever seen, I wish I was that kid.

BlondeSoul said...

Whhhhhyyyyyy????
Please, someone explain this to me!!

Tess said...

Creepiest part is that Dad has his hand daintily placed on Leonardo's waist.

Melvina said...

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL WHAT THE FUUUUCKK?!!! ;D ;D i am crying of laughter!!!!

JustinCredible23 said...

this is the episode of Maury Povich Show, where they find out that Leonardo is really the father... moms wanted to c his "nunchucks" back in the day

Girl- "Dad, what's up with the creepy turtle in this picture?"

Peter Laird- "I created him. He's the reason Daddy's a BILLIONAIRE!"

Jeff said...

SO that's the one who DIN'T marry Julie Strain.

Kim Hightower said...

That is just so creepy. Eeewww

Kaylen said...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I just busted out laughing.

willirob said...

WHAT THE HELL.
That is totally live action Donatello (purple), not Lenanardo (a much lighter blue) as everyone has been saying.
You should know this, it is important.

I like to laugh out loud every day if I can; thank you SO much for making it possible for me today.

Just so you know, that's Peter Laird, co-creator of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He's on the set of the 1st movie showing his family why they're getting so many huge checks in the mail. If you go to the original Flicker post, he mentions meeting up with the other TMNT creator Kevin Eastman on the set.

willirob, i hate to break it to you, but you sir are color blind.

Thomas Allen said...

WTF? Further proof that you don't have to be intelligent to parent!

Liz said...

I'm crying laughing!!

I had to do a serious double take at this! Leonardo holding that scared little baby..

Classic.

I love the baby's expression !! priceless.

This has to be far more traumatic for that baby than any Santa photo could ever be.

~ tOkKa said...

-->> ..actually the girl in the photo is in college now and is fairing well to my understanding.

Susan Cook : Cirien Phoenix said...

I'm apparently nerdy cause I think the idea itself is at least cute.

Anonymous said...

Dude,this might be creepy but you know if you were that baby, this picture would be your favorite of any you've ever taken. Ninja Turtles fucking rule.

Lesley said...

Which one is the father? Bahahaha.

lauraclairetaylor said...

i love how the mother looks all proud, like this is some kind of weird christening and leonardo is giving his blessing.

Anonymous said...

I love it! If it is part of Dad's work, then it's definitely appropriate to hang out with Leonardo. Do you know how many of us kids of the 80's/90's would have wanted this???

Jules said...

The more I look at this, the more it scares me.

Anonymous said...

all time favorite!

thats so cool O___O

rott said...

Peter Laird, by any chance?
That'd be the only way, this photo is acceptable.

~ tOkKa said...

-->> Yes it's Peter Laird.
