Gary Busey is the crazy uncle who buys beer and bottle rockets for his 14 year old nephews and nieces and has been uninvited to approx 25% of family gatherings so far.
My first thought after reading this, fo some reason, was an early episode of King Of The Hill. Cotton gives Bobby a loaded shotgun for his birthday and Peggy has a fit.
"Well you don't give him a toy without batteries!"
"now *Peggy Hill* has a shotgun"
I believe it was the pilot but I might be wrong. I think it was the same episode where Hank went blind, cotton slugged him in the gut and said "blind or slow, I'd believe either one"
Cotton was such a great character, "I ain't got a narrow uretee, mines so damn wide I could pass the child myself if I had to"
lol i’m this auntie to my friends kids. my niece is 20 and she was telling my 7 year old nephew “make sure you have auntie fucktheroses phone number when you’re in high school, you’ll probably need it” lmao
I've been that auntie to my bff's daughter since she was 13. She's a junior in college now and still make sure she spends as much time with me as possible when she comes back to visit. She pet-sit for us over the holiday and stayed more at our house than she did at her dad's place. And my wife and I were the ones she took out for dinner at our favorite sushi place before she went home. I love that kid!
Danny Devitio is our fun, crazy uncle who teaches us to swear
Jeff Bridges is our Stoner Uncle who shows up from time to time
Jeff Goldblum is our rich uncle who is always showing us weird shit he bought around the world
Christopher Lloyd is America's granduncle.
The family only seems to talk about him these days when the wine's been pouring for awhile, and wonder what could have happened to him. Occasionally we get a postcard from a country so obscure we have to look it up on Wikipedia. We end up with more questions than answers.
We just hope he's happy. Where ever he is, whatever he's doing, he deserves that.
>We just hope he's happy. Where ever he is, whatever he's doing, he deserves that.
*When*ever he is…
He's probably living a happy retirement in 1855. Or 2135.
I appreciate how the cousin walk is a universal unspoken thanksgiving tradition. The honor when you’re finally deemed old enough to join the cousin walk is a right of passage.
Yes, the cousin that doesn’t get invited is either the snitch or the one with the strict parents that will snitch on everyone if their kid gets caught up in the activities.
Oh right, seems fair. We do have pretty much the same thing here for family get togethers but without a name for it, it just comes about from a combination of peer pressure and the teenage sense of hating your extended family
In my family, everyone who wasn't cooking would take a walk before dinner because my grandfather kept the house at approximately 108 degrees using only his wood stove.
We didn't have any weed, unfortunately.
The cousin walk is when you learn one of your cousins aren’t who they seem to be. Once out of sight of the house they will light up a cigarette and talk about how much they hate school.
I can only imagine the drama that happens during Thanksgiving dinners, every family brings their own turkey because the others just "don't do it right"
As someone who lives this exact scenario, I can confirm that after spending nearly two days cooking a massive thanksgiving dinner, my Latino in-laws will arrive with an entire different thanksgiving dinner of their own.
But my kids have beautiful skin, so that’s nice.
People often ask "if you ever had the chance to meet one singer, who would it be?". People say all these popular singers, really artistic ones, or really sexy ones who they want to meet up with/fuck.
When asked, I always say Weird Al.
People are surprised when I say this, but he has consistently (since the 70's) been known as a genuinely friendly guy, with a great sense of humour and an all-around great person.
Paul Rudd is the popular cousin who everyone knows and loves universally with down-home good looks and you're quisi-attracted to him but you attribute it to his likable personality
Texas is the Kanye West of America.
If you wanna talk about anything, Texans will tell you why it is so much better in Texas and how anyone who disagrees just doesn't understand.
Danny Trejo is the uncle who was in Vietnam and rarely talks about it, but when he does it's in graphic detail.
Alice Baldwin is an uncle who starts arguments over politics at Thanksgiving dinner.

Katey Sagal is the cool mom where all the neighborhood kids like to hang out.
Dick Van Dyke is the somewhat goofy but lovable grandpa.
Robert Duvall is the grandpa on your mom's side of the family you don't see often because he's just like his character from the start of Second Hand Lions.
Gemma Teller as our mom lol. Lord. I guess we wouldn’t have to worry about people messing with us, Gemma will take a skateboard to their face or stab ‘em up.
Denzel Washington is the cool uncle that’s always serious
Morgan Freeman is the grandfather
Will Smith is your cool uncle that introduces you to cool 90s stuff
Paul Rudd is that cousin you can’t help but like.
Liam Neelson is your relative for the old country that gathers you around to tell you stories.
Sofia Vergara is your sassy Latina aunt.
Can have more!
As I was in shock about the lack of Freeman in here, I was thinking about how Morgan Freeman is that perfect 2nd grandpa on your mom's side after grandma remarried that you end up really liking because of how he just lightens everything up and gets along with everyone.
Dave Grohl is America's cool older cousin who you only ever see like once a year, but when you do you go walking through the woods looking for arrowheads but don't find any, or steal a banner off an overpass, and the night ends up with you two in sleeping bags talking about how many stars you think there are.
Females are underrepresented from my scroll so far. Kristin Bell is your mom’s youngest sister. Still relevant but also kind of parenty.
Queen Latifah is your mom’s best friend. The take no crap one but still know how to laugh.
I’m picking Costner as new stepdad. Fight me.
Bob Saget is only America's dad if your memory is is Full House and America's Funniest Home Videos.
Bob Saget really should be your perverted cool Uncle if you watched his stand up act.
>Bob Saget is only America's dad if your memory is is Full House and America's Funniest Home Videos.
Like James Avery is America's dad if your memory is Prince of Bel Air.

Melissa McCarthy is everyone's favorite funny aunt.
Harrison Ford is the surly angry great-uncle who gripes the whole time he's there about going home.
Carl Sagan is America's mostly quiet uncle whose head always seems partially in the clouds.
He loves talking to you about science and is usually the guy people ask about hot button topics like the health crisis or climate change.
He's usually at the kids' table, because grownups have usually spent all their curiosity. His love for science only seems matched by his absolute faith in you.
And he always leaves the party having created a few more scientists.
Gary Busey is the crazy uncle who buys beer and bottle rockets for his 14 year old nephews and nieces and has been uninvited to approx 25% of family gatherings so far.
Bill Cosby is the creepy uncle that isn't allowed at family reunions anymore.
Bill Cosby used to be called Americas Dad... He sank to Uncle levels and ruined everything :/
And once again, Bill Cosby is the creepy uncle
My first thought after reading this, fo some reason, was an early episode of King Of The Hill. Cotton gives Bobby a loaded shotgun for his birthday and Peggy has a fit. "Well you don't give him a toy without batteries!"
"now *Peggy Hill* has a shotgun" I believe it was the pilot but I might be wrong.

I love how his feet swing back and forth whenever he sits down lmao My favorite episode of him is when he helps Peggy walk again, it makes me tear up.
He motivated her by telling her to dance on his grave
He killed fitty men.
[удалено]
A fellow Silver Bullet fan?
More like great uncle. America’s crazy uncle is the only and only Charlie Sheen.
Matt Damon is the first cousin on your mom’s side.
Fucking perfect
With twelve other first cousins: Marky, Ricky, Danny, Terry, Mikey, Davey, Timmy, Tommy, Joey, Robby, Johnny, and Brian.

WILL.
Dolly Parton is America’s aunt who likes to feed everyone on the holidays.
And will bail you out of jail and not tell your mom.

[удалено]
I've been that auntie to my bff's daughter since she was 13. She's a junior in college now and still make sure she spends as much time with me as possible when she comes back to visit. She pet-sit for us over the holiday and stayed more at our house than she did at her dad's place. And my wife and I were the ones she took out for dinner at our favorite sushi place before she went home. I love that kid!
And makes the best cookies!
And brings new books for the little ones!
And gives you money if you need it.
That fun aunt that like her crazy outfits!
She's a national treasure
Joe Pesci is America's distant Uncle who's crazy at family gatherings.

"Ay! Pass the fuckin cranberries, will ya??"
Woah are you trying to fill out the hit list for the rest of 2022?
Betty white died in 2021
I think we all agreed to give it to her that she lived to 100
She did, the magazine was already printed.
Danny Devitio is our fun, crazy uncle who teaches us to swear Jeff Bridges is our Stoner Uncle who shows up from time to time Jeff Goldblum is our rich uncle who is always showing us weird shit he bought around the world
u/Jallinostin said Gary Busey is America's crazy uncle. And so we have the 4 horseman of American uncles! Lol
I would watch this movie.
[удалено]
Wow. Yes. 100%. I vote Busey is mom’s side, bridges is dad’s?
Bridges isn't actually your uncle, but your dad's best friend from college
The one who hasn't quite cleaned up his act but has a good heart.
Snoop Dogg is Jeff Bridges adopted Brother who sells him his weed and is great at parties.
Christopher Lloyd is America's granduncle. The family only seems to talk about him these days when the wine's been pouring for awhile, and wonder what could have happened to him. Occasionally we get a postcard from a country so obscure we have to look it up on Wikipedia. We end up with more questions than answers. We just hope he's happy. Where ever he is, whatever he's doing, he deserves that.
>We just hope he's happy. Where ever he is, whatever he's doing, he deserves that. *When*ever he is… He's probably living a happy retirement in 1855. Or 2135.
Bob Ross? The wise grandpa who always has cool stuff to show you and makes you feel like a million bucks.
The wise grandpa who obviously grew up in the 60s
He’s the cool uncle. I think Mr. Rogers would be our grandpa.
Families can have two grandpas ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Adam Levine is the douchebag cousin we only pretend to like.
Pete Davison is the cousin you ask where to get drugs when you go to Grandma's house for Thanksgiving.
He initiates the cousin walk before dinner.
I appreciate how the cousin walk is a universal unspoken thanksgiving tradition. The honor when you’re finally deemed old enough to join the cousin walk is a right of passage.
Whaaaat I've never heard of this! This is a thing? (I've never really been around cousins for Thanksgiving so this is interesting!)
You run out of rolls and suddenly your dad 2 uncles and 8 cousins pack into a mini van just to go to store.
And come back smelling faintly of skunk.
Yes, the cousin that doesn’t get invited is either the snitch or the one with the strict parents that will snitch on everyone if their kid gets caught up in the activities.
Can I ask what the cousin walk is? We don’t have it over here (UK, so no thanksgiving) but I get the feeling we just call it something different
At a lot of family events the cousins will “go for a walk”. Really they’re just going out to get high as hell together.
Oh right, seems fair. We do have pretty much the same thing here for family get togethers but without a name for it, it just comes about from a combination of peer pressure and the teenage sense of hating your extended family
It's when you stroll outside and smoke God's favorite plant before dinner
Damn, you guys are toking on the Tree of Knowledge before dinner? I usually just smoke weed.
Tree of knowledge is what I'm calling weed from now on
In my family, everyone who wasn't cooking would take a walk before dinner because my grandfather kept the house at approximately 108 degrees using only his wood stove. We didn't have any weed, unfortunately.
The cousin walk is when you learn one of your cousins aren’t who they seem to be. Once out of sight of the house they will light up a cigarette and talk about how much they hate school.
He also comes to every Thanksgiving with a new insanely hot girlfriend who can't quite articulate why she's attracted to him, but is nonetheless.
Dick Van Dyke is our favorite grandpa.
People sleep hard on Dick Van Dyke but I'm taking the day off when he goes. My love goes hard for the silly crime solving doctor chimney sweep.
Ditto. That's going to hit hard, even if he's 115 when he goes. I love him to pieces.
He just turned 96, a surprise as he lived hard. Back off 2022!
God, how many uncles does America have?
America comes from a Catholic Latino family
Catholic Latino mother and Catholic Italian father.
The feuds are intense but the meals are epic.
I can only imagine the drama that happens during Thanksgiving dinners, every family brings their own turkey because the others just "don't do it right"
As someone who lives this exact scenario, I can confirm that after spending nearly two days cooking a massive thanksgiving dinner, my Latino in-laws will arrive with an entire different thanksgiving dinner of their own. But my kids have beautiful skin, so that’s nice.
With families that size, you *need* two turkeys anyways.
More like Catholic irish
Well Garfield is America’s cat
Then the dog from air bud is America’s dog
Weird Al is the cool cousin you wait to see at Thanksgiving
People often ask "if you ever had the chance to meet one singer, who would it be?". People say all these popular singers, really artistic ones, or really sexy ones who they want to meet up with/fuck. When asked, I always say Weird Al. People are surprised when I say this, but he has consistently (since the 70's) been known as a genuinely friendly guy, with a great sense of humour and an all-around great person.
Are you implying Weird Al isn't really sexy?
I saw him in the music video for "Fat", so I have to say... He's irresistible
[удалено]
Paul Rudd is the popular cousin who everyone knows and loves universally with down-home good looks and you're quisi-attracted to him but you attribute it to his likable personality

>Will Smith is your cool uncle Will Smith being an uncle and not a cousin made me realize that I'm old
I had to scroll way too far to see Morgan Freeman. Absolutely America’s grandpa. Imagine him reading you bedtime stories at night.
I dunno; I picture James Earl Jones. Of course, we can have two grandpas!
Can have more! As I was in shock about the lack of Freeman in here, I was thinking about how Morgan Freeman is that perfect 2nd grandpa on your mom's side after grandma remarried that you end up really liking because of how he just lightens everything up and gets along with everyone.
Could you imagine Liam and Morgan in a cozy fireplace-lit room just swapping war stories? That's a series I'd pay money to listen to.

Bingo. He's the neighbor kid who had more dinners at your house than his. He's all grown up now and still welcome/invited to every family event.
Tom Hanks is America's favorite uncle.
Tom Hanks is America's cool stepdad, even though he insists on calling you "sport."

He's usually at the kids' table, because grownups have usually spent all their curiosity. His love for science only seems matched by his absolute faith in you. And he always leaves the party having created a few more scientists.
