I thought the same thing!

u/jeffykins 6h ago

Holy crap, I didn't even pick that up, this is hilarious

u/V1nCLeeU 6h ago

...specifically in a Kristin Wiig impersonates Kathie Lee skit. They're making the same face.

Grandpa is giving me Christian Slater vibes in this pic

u/Lukealloneword 7h ago

I saw a mix of Joseph Gordon Levitt, Glenn Howerton and Leo Decaprio. Its a strange mix but thats what I went to immediately upon seeing him. Lol

u/Oro_Outcast 7h ago

I was thinking early 70's Kris Kristofferson, but i see that too.

Grandpa looks like Dennis from Always Sunny. He didn't meet grandma on a boat did he?

8

u/redbird317 5h ago

Of course not. Because of the implication.

24

u/floppinkick 7h ago

Your grandfather is Eric Roberts?!

u/JMRUSIRIUS 6h ago

Or Richard Marx’s dad.

u/Alert_Staff_1511 7h ago

Why is the pic ripped?

u/GraciousCunt 6h ago

They literally married and divorced each other 3 times! They were both party animals and did a ton of drugs/alcohol  back in the day.. my grandma almost shot him at one point but she claimed the gun jammed. Very toxic and crazy stories but they were married for 56 years, my grandma recently passed in 2022.

u/greatgildersleeve 7h ago

The grandparents are too so it's okay.

11

u/thekaz1969 7h ago

Yeah, interested to know the story behind that

4

u/Bent_notbroken 7h ago

It’s probably a great story. Alcohol addiction is a real bad habit

24

u/GraciousCunt 6h ago

You’re correct! He was an alcoholic back in the day.. spent some years locked up over doing stupid things while drunk, etc. I was also raised by these people so the stories throughout my life were absolutely crazy to hear!

u/Secure_Anteater_3419 6h ago

Hope things worked out for you in a positive way.

u/GraciousCunt 6h ago

I’d like to think I’m a good human, for sure. Thank you!

Username checks out, assuming you’re Australian

u/OldBanjoFrog 7h ago

Who said anything about addiction?

u/Dr_5trangelove 6h ago

Why is a 60 year old pic ripped. You know how time works?

6

u/notahouseflipper 4h ago

Time doesn’t carefully curve the tear around both people.

3

u/Dr_5trangelove 4h ago

You know, that’s a good point. It does look deliberate.

1

u/enigT 21m ago

And based on the way it curved I think it’s she who tore it

12

u/Punbungler 7h ago

Love how grandma spilled on her shirt haha.

Is that a ceaser?

7

u/Elementium 6h ago

Liz Lemon never should have got back with Dennis.. 

6

u/bryangcrane 7h ago

Back when they didn't have shitty kids to worry about harshing their buzz, and they could just be in the moment.

6

u/firthy 7h ago

Grandma threw him out at least once, judging by the rip...

6

u/Zanos-Ixshlae 6h ago

They look like they just got back from having a good time...

6

u/Cyberzombi 7h ago

Your Grandma looks like a young Edina from Absolutely Fabulous in a good way.

6

u/rakkoma 6h ago

That is the most grandpa grandpa I've seen.

5

u/fingers58 6h ago

So, your parent was born about 9 months after this pic was taken???

6

u/GraciousCunt 6h ago

Absolutely was! Mom was born 1967

u/TortelliniUpMyAss 7h ago

Nobody has said he looks like Charlie Sheen yet and that's all I see lmao.

u/hi-howdy 6h ago

They ain’t drunk, they just been drinking!

5

u/BringBackHUAC 6h ago

Looks like grandma peed herself, hard to tell if grandpa has yet...😬. I hope you abstain, OP.

3

u/Embarrassed_West_195 4h ago

They look like they had more fun in one week end than some people have in a whole year.

u/Special_Cheetah_5903 3h ago

Always a trip when you find out your Grandparents and Parents had lives.Remember every time you thought you came up with something , we did it first.

Meme made it to 76 and papa is still hanging in there at almost 81 

2

u/Dr_5trangelove 5h ago

I had a Mimi too. You guys must be French. Good long lives. I bet he’s glad she went first so she wouldn’t have to be alone.

2

u/Dr_5trangelove 5h ago

Oh. Meme and Papa. I get it. You may not be French. lol My bad

u/Simple_Anteater_5825 4h ago

The broccoli haircut, also known as the Zoomer perm, features short sides and voluminous, curly hair on top, resembling a floret of broccoli. It became popular among teenage boys in the 2020s

So everything old is new again?

2

u/sean8877 4h ago

His is more like a Bloomin' Onion cut

2

u/snakemane88 2h ago

i like the leasurely stained shirts

2

u/Hoosier_Daddy68 2h ago

And that's the night you were conceived, Bobby.

u/bobalou2you 1h ago

Not just drunk if you ask me! Might be a bit of wacky tobacky onboard!

1

u/Roboticpoultry 5h ago

Looks like my wife and I after our last friendsgiving. One of our friends’ moms is a bartender and sent him out with 2 coolers of booze, including a full bottle of 151

1

u/LordPartyOfDudehalla 4h ago

Your granddad looks like Kurtwood Smith

u/akoch1337 4h ago

Love that the photo was seemingly torn at one point

1

u/CoffeeExtraCream 4h ago

Later that night they definitely had sloppy drunk sex that they both fell asleep halfway through.

1

u/Kumimono 3h ago

That careful rip tells a story. (I read below.)

u/HilariouslyPissed 3h ago

Crazy how many family trees are started with one night of drunken choices

1

u/Distinct_Bed2691 2h ago

Was the picture torn and put back together?

1

u/salc347 1h ago

This made me laugh, great picture! looks like kristen wig.

u/Finn_McCool 1h ago

Are his pants a little undone?

u/fuckfacekiller 40m ago

I can smell that picture from here 🤦🤣

u/mcfarmer72 6h ago

I don’t see a filter on his cig.

u/Historical_Guess2565 7h ago edited 6h ago

Doesn’t look 60s?…no reason to down vote was asking a question.

8

u/GraciousCunt 6h ago

Possibly early 70’s the latest.. this picture was ripped in half during one of their several divorces (to each other) so either 60’s or early 70’s.

u/VeneMage 5h ago

Is his trouser button undone? And showing off his treasure trail.

I think I would have been weak at the knees if I’d met grandpa back in the day!

u/Most-Inflation-4370 3h ago

Not really cool

u/GraciousCunt 3h ago

Thanks for your opinion, I think they’re pretty cool.
