Daniel-san Has a Posse

Reach for the prize

See no wild and crazy guys

The caption on flickr read, "What a night!"



Looks like one of those nights you never forget.

Deepthroat, je t'aime

Goth no evil

Nice matching teal, ladies. (they're all ladies, right?)

Pose Karate Kid You Imitate..

Photo cliche you become....

Memories of a puss.

Here's Eric remembering the first time he went to Universal studios as a kid. Back then he was too much of a puss to stick his head in Jaw's mouth. Now he's a big strong man who's outgrown his-- Oh, nevermind. Once a puss always a puss.

"Goodbye, Wife!"

That's how this picture was tagged on flickr.

Karate Kid ("Kid" used loosely)

See no Saturation

Ever since Saving Private Ryan, people have been abusing the bleach bypass technique in their personal photos, to the ridiculous extent that these blown-out pseudo-artistic images have almost become a photo cliché themselves. But it'll never hold a candle to our favorite three little cliche monkeys.

Bonus points to the guy in the middle for actually having a monkey on his T-shirt. Negative points to the girl on the left for her weird puffy-cheek impression of Asian Louis Armstrong.


(Thanks for sending, Mutia!)

Surf's definitely up

"I don't know if 'Hang-ten' is accurate, but 'hang-8 1/2' feels about right."

Heat Wave

See no Air Conditioning? (Thanks, Franky)

Mr. Happy

...meet Ms. Sad.
(Thanks, Nicole!)

See No Suckas Get Capped

She's either pretending to be a gangsta or she's pointing at these three as if to say, "what the fuck are they doing?" Her facial expression seems to indicate a bit of both.

Red Man

Psst... dude... it's not cool to get a hair cut and sew your own pants with the clippings. (Thanks, Lee!)

Renaissance Man

We have to imagine this guy sees that facial expression a lot: most girls sigh, stop whatever they're doing, indulge his sexual advances, and receive absolutely no pleasure whatsoever. (We can tell by his spiked hair, sunglasses, popped collar, hemp bracelet, and/or plaid cargo shorts.)

Thanks for sending, Robbie!

The Audacity of Grope

To be fair, she's just checking out his stimulus package.

(PS what do the Dow and Photocliches have in common today? They're both hitting new lows! hey-yooooo!)

"I'm king of fringe!"

It's been said that if you watch the movie Jaws backwards, it's a movie about a shark that keeps throwing up people until they have to open a beach.

Karate Kid Pose

So just after we were super excited about the new "Karate Kid Pose" cliche, we discovered that there's an entire site devoted only to people doing that exact Karate Kid pose. Not only that, the site, KarateKidPose.com was created only 2 days before we started the new cliche, which kind of makes us seem like a bunch of rip-off artists. I assure you, this was all coincidental. In fact, when we found out about this other site, we considered taking down the posts we had already done and ending this new cliche all together.

But then we realized that this site totally takes the Karate Kid pose completely seriously, as if it's not just another cheesy cliche. It's earnestness is perplexing. I mean, how could you face yourself in the mirror if you saw this picture and you didn't make fun of it?

Danielson in mandals

With such a picturesque background overlooking water, I'm amazed at the self-restraint this guy used NOT to do an "I'm the King of the World" pose. I guess he has mastered the true karate art.

New Cliché: The Karate Kid Pose

An iconic movie turned into an iconic cliché. Watch out "I'm king of the world," you've got company.

See no melodramatic posing
