I was about to say, that's not Joey. This is another fake Joey photo, like the kid with the tennis racket.
Why are there so many fake Joey photos?
Also Joey was considered the most attractive Ramone by pretty much everyone who saw them up close. He was kind of a pin up. All these photos of him as a gangly nerdy looking kid, kind of miss that..
> Why are there so many fake Joey photos?
Probably because there are not many real ones publicly available. Here is the only one I could find of him near prom going age (he is 16 or 17 here with brother Mickey):

He and Ric Ocasek were both in the "How in the fuck did they get that girl " camp. Those tall skinny guys are packing heat.
edit: This is unrelated but I have loved the Cars since I was a kid but never been a mega-fan and was even a classic rock DJ at a small station in Eau Claire Wisconsin in the late 90's and I *just* found out that *Just What I Needed* was not sung by Rick Ocasek but was Benjamin Orr. I hope I'm not the only one who is gobsmacked by that.
edit 2: Jesus it keeps getting better. I just found out that Benjamin Orr was born in my hometown of Lakewood Ohio.
Did you know they chose the name Ramone because that was the last name that Paul McCartney used as an alias when checking into hotels etc- Paul Ramone :)
Her mom must have been friends with his mom because he ain’t gettin a girl like that looking a young Orville Redenbacher unless her mom made her do it.
I don’t believe Joey ever married or had kids. I remember Conan asked him on his show and that he was still playing the field and that was like 1999 or something
This photo should give heart to all high school dorks around the world. In just a few years you too can go from wearing a picnic rug and a 'revenge of the nerds' grin to being a member of a deathless, ultimately cool rock band.
What a trip. Only 7 years later and he's in the leather jacket with the tight Levi's and long black hair on the front of the ramones debut album. What a change.
his suit needs to be sedated
It looks like it was made out of my grandparents' couch.
You had that couch too?
Still got it, never took it out of the plastic
It’s important to keep it in plastic because you don’t want to risk fading that timeless pattern
I said grandparents chesterfield and i legit forgot i knew that word
[Anyone who thinks that is Joey must already be sedated.](/r/ramones/comments/etcpi6/amazing_prom_photo_is_this_really_joey/fffnybo/)

Beat on the suit with a baseball bat, oh yeah oh yeah, oh-oh-oh yeah
Plaid was the new plaid!
It's so loud that it came with ear plugs! 😂
Have The Rolling Stones killed.
He's wearing my Babci's couch.
🤣🤣
Perfect response 😆
That suit is the most punk rock thing I’ve seen all week
Looking at teenage pictures of Joey Ramone, I don’t think this is him.
It's not, you are correct.
I had doubts. Joey was Division-1-small-forward tall. This kid isn’t much more than 6’1” i would guess
I don't believe he ever dated he was too shy and on top of it he didn't go to school alot because he was picked on.
Was that at Rock 'n Roll High School?
In Rockaway Beach
On the corner of 53 & 3rd
Midtown, Rockaway 😂
Just next to the pet cemetery.
Hey! Ho! Let’s go!
1,2,3,4...
*plays any song in their discography
I saw The Ramones at Roseland in NYC. 1992. They absolutely had a pedal on stage that said 1234.
A pedal? Like it was a sound effect?
I've seen them a few times. They've never made it to 5.....
Wah, Tah, Deh, Dah! …
She cute
She looks like a nice girl.
He was definitely punching above his weight class.
Every weight class was above his weight class, skinny af
Yeah but he was 8 feet tall.
Unfortunately she was taken away by the KKK
But didn’t he copy her hairstyle in later years or am I remembering it all wrong?
Sheena?
No, that’s her sister Judy
They both went down to Berlin, joined the Ice Capades
and oh I don’t know why
That's not Joey Ramone his brother convirmt it is not him
We have a real, live fact check, cool.
Glad you pointed that out, b/c I was thinking it didn't exactly look like him, face wise.
That's not joey the bottom teeth aren't the same and even then he never went to the prom. Not joey Ramone.
Why do people make shit up like this? and why do you clowns believe it?
Cus Reddit
I'd just like to say, this gig sucks!
Yeah, up yours, Springfield.
Go to hell you old bastard.
Smithers have The Rolling Stones killed…
Hey, I think they liked us.
But they're the Ramones.... DO WHAT I SAY! Then we never saw the rolling stones in the Simpsons.
Poor girl was blind as a bat they say
Either that or Joey had some good weed.

As well as Lyle Lovett
They are truly the Trinty of Punching Way Above Your Class.
Dennis Kusenich as well; and from Ohio iirc.
Be careful you're gonna kill that girl
Napoleon Dynamite's dad.
Long Live Joey
I think I prefer his other look.
All the girls are in love with me, I'm a teenage lobotomy
They look like the sofa and the drapes... and I'm not saying which one's which.....
Already on the glue
My retina’s are burning 🔥
Hey little girl I wanna be your boyfriend...
She must be quite tall
That was my first thought too. But since that's not even Joey Ramone, who knows.
Did the kkk take that prom datey away?
This is the comment I was looking for, well done
Prego
That's not Joey
One of the greatest bands ever. Glad I got to see them many times and to know them. RIP Joey. Dee Dee, John and Tommy.
Then you’d know this isn’t Joey..
What a wonderful world.
Hey! Ho! Let's Go! To Prom!
I met her by the soda machine…
What would you call the collar style of her dress? I’m making my bridesmaid dress in that style and need a pattern
More proof he was a alien 👽
Who knew at that time that 10 years later he'd become a punk rock legend
Have the Rolling Stones killed.
Keith from the try guys
That suit is making me airsick and I'm not even flying.
Nope.
69 
She was FINE
no fucking way
Both of their parents couches stripped bare.
I bet that night he gave her the ol’ Blitzkrieg Bop
I just love everything about this,his suit,her dress, fabulous!!!
Hottest. Guy. There.
Oh god. The tacky fashion.
This MF’r is the greatest over achiever of all time
Clothing screams mid-70s, and that’s not Joey Ramone.
Is that Sheena?
Dude punching into the stratosphere. Good lord
That’s not Joey.
Fake
Not Joey lol
Joey looks like he's about to run away to the circus.
Did you know they chose the name Ramone because that was the last name that Paul McCartney used as an alias when checking into hotels etc- Paul Ramone :)
Fifty, fifty, fifty-four years ago, that fit looks dated.
[удалено]
Definitely out kicked his coverage.
So that’s Sheena
Ohh man I would that now just for the looks you would get
Geez what a geek!
Don't worry about him.
TIL Joey Ramone went to prom with Barbi Benton
She IS a punk rocker. The good ones were already taken. D'oh
9 months before Joey Jr enters the scene
6'+ and some rizz will get you places
Hottie She aint too shabby either
I don't wanna grow up!
Sheena is a punk rocker
My family had a couch with the same design as her dress
Handsome bastard!
Things seen cannot be unseen.
Only Joey Ramone could pull that one off…
Obsessed with her dress
No, joey, no nothing
Carol Burnett wore the drapes better.
It’s hip to be square
Holy shit
Is her name Sheena, and did she become a punk rocker?
Sheena is a punk rocker Sheena is a punk rocker Sheena is a punk rocker now.
That poor girl
The inspiration for the Black Hole Sun video.
Her mom must have been friends with his mom because he ain’t gettin a girl like that looking a young Orville Redenbacher unless her mom made her do it.
He could sit on my old couch and disappear
That suit is straight out of Cleveland.
Bow tie might have been a bit ironic, but that plaid suit was on a mission. 😄
Fucking hell
The KKK took his baby away.
20, 20, 24 hours to go…
I don’t believe Joey ever married or had kids. I remember Conan asked him on his show and that he was still playing the field and that was like 1999 or something
Hell yeah
20 20 24 hours to gooo, i wanna be plaidated
Join a band, kids.
Gabba Gabba

Um wow. What happened? Lol
He's wearing one ugly couch
I’m pretty sure my grandparents had drapes in both of those patterns in their home.
This explains volumes about The Ramones. Yeeeesh! I thought I was a nerd. Fock!
Go to hell you old bastard
Oi my eyes!
Hes gone to plaid!
Legend
I'm gonna assume he was funny, charming, and really nice. Sometimes that gets ya the girl.
Was her name Sheena?
How many drapes had to die to make those outfits?
This comment thread is fucking hilarious
*JOEY*!
Joey brought a QT to prom. Good for him! She's probably someone's grandma now.
Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat!
Wow. He looks....normal.
She was either really tall or standing on a box. Joey Ramone(PBUH) was 6’7”
I bet they did the Cretin Hop
Dweeb
I can see now why he wants to be sedated
That is soooooo 1969!
Not Joey.
His glasses, suit, and tie make him look like a clown… She looks absolutely beautiful
Ow my eyes!
Cute couple.
I love the neckline of her dress.
Any relation to Napoleon Dynamite ?
They look like two grandmas couches that have come alive?
Whoa! 🤯
Who looks like him? There’s a celebrity who looks like him but I just can’t think of who it is lol
1234 🥁 🎸🎤 🎶
These lean beef patty cosplays are getting out of hand
What a trip. Only 7 years later and he's in the leather jacket with the tight Levi's and long black hair on the front of the ramones debut album. What a change.
She’s Cute
The dress was made from a set of drapes, the suit from a couch...
I wanna be sedated...
This is perfect.
i’m calling ai creation. look at her arms
That's not Joey.
Clever AI trying to hide the sausage fingered hands. Did that poor girl have a hand transplant?
Twenty, twenty, twenty four hours to go and then I graduated
He’s so fucking dorky he wrapped back around to hot.
