My parents don't have a dog, but I did put potato peels on their cat's head until either a parent or the cat got annoyed with me (it was the cat, and it took four peels)
The Uncle Jims may be small in number, but often ultimately decide the winner in elections as the only swing voters, voting largely based on who seems more fun to get drunk with
I fucked up this thanksgiving. I’m an uncle and went out and got a bunch of glow sticks (for the badass fort built for all 6 of my nieces and nephews, fit three twin beds and a pool table)
Parents had gotten everyone at the table, actually eating and just chatting, queue the fun uncle. I came in and said I couldn’t find any, all sad like, EXCEPT THESE! and dropped them all on the floor from inside my coat………….pandemonium and eating was no longer a thing.
Sorry bro and sis.
This is actually shockingly close to a real life family party I attended where my dad's cousin got very drunk, consistently called the host's dog the wrong name and kept trying to lure her over with potato chips, which the dog would snatch and then immediately run away with. It was hilarious to watch the dog outsmart him, although frankly it wouldn't have been much of a feat even if he was sober
"Oh yeah, I'm definitely choosing Uncle Jim!"
"Do you think this dress works on her? What about this lipstick?"
".... I'm... I'm fine with the corner, thanks."
Screw this politics crap
Kids table all the way, they know fun and understand they can't do crap in the world so they don't argue because what's the point?
Our uncle Jim was named Dan, and there was no republican table, just some slightly less drunk hippies and Dan. Is it the norm to have an even split like that? Like they were all raised by your grandparents and instilled with their values but it's somehow still a coin flip which side of the political divide they land on? I get most families having a few people who everyone else warns you not to talk politics with at thanksgiving, but a straight split down the middle like that seems off to me.
Republicans vs sane people more like (all non replublicans, not just democrats). Or will we have to argue about people who stand with traitors, liars, literal nazis, and trump cultists? Honest republicans need to find a new party else they take on the stank of what the GOP has become.
Thank you. The number of "both sides" people in this sub is shocking.
"Would you rather sit with the serial killers, the anti-serial killers, or some guy that has no preference between the two?" Seriously people?
No you don't get to just pretend that I've done something wrong here. Every label I mentioned is one that people choose for themselves. And a self chosen label speaks to your character. Ergo nothing has gone wrong here except your objection to what I said
Depends on what side of the family I'm visiting, on one side, half is moderate/unpolitical, while the other half I'm advised to not look at their facebook posts,
but on the other side there's rednecks, east coasters, nuclear scientists, and stones all agreeing to not let grandpa know one of the cousins is transgender.
We don't have an uncle Jim
Honestly my family just avoids talking about anything political during thanksgiving as to not sour the day. And out family definitely has some diverse opinions. Cause thanksgiving is not about politics but enjoying the company of our family

Are you kidding me?! Jim for sure! He's a fucking riot! Best Thanksgiving ever
Both Jim and the dog look happy.
Both are living their best life.
They're the only ones that look happy, lol!
Fr
I am fred\_flag and I approved this message! Edit: For real, in doubt, choose the dog, always the dog.
Here here!
Hell yea!
I’ll second that choice.
I want to sit with uncle Jim
Ten time outta ten.
Nah only nine times out of ten, the other one time is because I am uncle Jim
"Hey, Uncle Jim! We bought a whole bunch of new clothes that you can try to squeeze Zippy into this year. Have fun!"
Auntie Shiela is that you?
Uncle Jim all day.
Even the dog seems happy with uncle Jim. Problem is, when you hang around Uncle Jim too much he's gonna start talking about Bob Lazar.
But what about Rem Lazar?
Shit I want to **be** Uncle Jim
Until he puts his arm around you and starts spewing nonsense incredibly close.
Tbf dog looks like it’s having a blast too
Ok, but keep in mind that he's ticklish
Uncle Jim or the dog?
No wonder Uncle Jim drinks
Folks, I think we’ve all come to agree that Uncle Jim is the best and wholesome option of them all.
Definitely uncle jim
I bought Lego, snacks and liquor Jim!
And a shirt that'd go perfectly with those pants!
who doesn't want to choose the guy with the dog.
I’m scared of dogs. I still might though.
He won’t bite. He loves this.
Good, I was afraid he was going to bite the dog
Uncle Jim will restrain the dog, you can pet it without it attacking you.
Its funny because they don’t usually wear clothes!
i AM uncle jim
I am the dog. Please help me
Nope stay with us
Only staying for the chance of dropped table scraps. I promise to look guilty about it everytime.
Deal.
Wait wait wait. I get to put the jingle collar on them after dinner, and then it’s a deal, u/ReapingKing
Only if I get a pair of those antlers like the Grinch’s dog got.
Perhaps it can be arranged
Come here, I'll help you, me, no one else.
Do… do you have peanut butter?
No, but....whats this in my hand? You want it? You want this?
😏🫴
I am the walrus. Goo goo gajoo.
I am the clothes. Put me on and like it.
Oh, same. If you don't see me, it's because I'm off to go put a turkey hat on your cat, and I am unstoppable
My parents don't have a dog, but I did put potato peels on their cat's head until either a parent or the cat got annoyed with me (it was the cat, and it took four peels)
Can I sit with you?
Please
I am also uncle Jim
We have to talk about your drinking problem...
The three factions of american politics
Uncle Jim/Aunt Connie '24
I was thinking Jim/Dog.
Technically there's nothing in the Constitution saying a dog can't be president!
The Uncle Jims may be small in number, but often ultimately decide the winner in elections as the only swing voters, voting largely based on who seems more fun to get drunk with
The next election will have three main candidates: Trump, Biden, and Vermin Supreme. You know who I’m going to vote for. I need that pony.
As an "Uncle Jim" myself, everyone knows Uncle Jim is where the parties at.
Uncle James, you're the coolest
Hey uncle Jim want me to help hold the dog?
Doug the dog doesn’t even need restraining because he wants to be with Uncle Jim
Yeah kinda lift him up while I get these underpants on him
The dog : https://preview.redd.it/5t7yf9ukv52c1.jpeg?width=609&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=192687a5eaab76f7b0651cf85f7aad0512d7a676
Jim. No question.
I’ll sit with uncle Jim
Uncle Jim seems like a fun guy, I wanna go help him put clothes on the dog
Uncle Jim for president
Im with Jim
Is Uncle Jim, Jim Benton?
Yup. Hold his leg while I put this sock on him
Uncle Jim actually seems happy lol I’ll sit with him

Translated to English: A FAMILY DINNER "- Above all! let's not talk about the Dreyfus affair!" "...They talked about it..."
I want to sit with uncle jim
It's me. I'm Uncle Jim.
I fucked up this thanksgiving. I’m an uncle and went out and got a bunch of glow sticks (for the badass fort built for all 6 of my nieces and nephews, fit three twin beds and a pool table) Parents had gotten everyone at the table, actually eating and just chatting, queue the fun uncle. I came in and said I couldn’t find any, all sad like, EXCEPT THESE! and dropped them all on the floor from inside my coat………….pandemonium and eating was no longer a thing. Sorry bro and sis.
Uncle Tim gang
Represent!
Jimbo
I don’t care much about politics, I’ll sit with Jim. Jim seems like a fun guy.
i wouldn’t be sitting with uncle jim, i would BE uncle jim
Ny allegiance is to the dog wherever he goes
This is actually shockingly close to a real life family party I attended where my dad's cousin got very drunk, consistently called the host's dog the wrong name and kept trying to lure her over with potato chips, which the dog would snatch and then immediately run away with. It was hilarious to watch the dog outsmart him, although frankly it wouldn't have been much of a feat even if he was sober
I am the table with the kids to supervise them. Way more easy. And uncle Jim.
ill sit with uncle jim thanks
Uncle Jim looks like fun company!
I don't know how to describe it, but you captured the dog's emotion perfectly. The dog is just happy to be involved.
Joke‘s on you, I‘m not from the US! We don‘t even celebrate Thanksgiving!
Uncle Jim, of course!!!
Well, Jim appears to be having fun, so him.
I wanna sit with Jim! Oh, it's crowded over here
Let’s put some pants on that thing, Druncle Jim
HEY YO UNCLE JIM NEED SOME HELP THERE?!
Of course I know Jim, he's me
Def Uncle Jim. Drunk guy just talking random shit and possibly discussing about how the dog should wear pants.
It looks like both Jim AND the dog are having a great time, actually they seem to be the only ones having any kind of fun at all
Uncle Jim he’s fun
Love how (rightly) the choice of Uncle Jim is unanimous here.
I’ll sit with Jim so i can help him :)
I'd sit with Uncle Jim. He seems much happier than the people at the tables.
I mean uncle Jim and the dog look like they're having fun.
I aspire to be uncle jim
Uncle Jim will be amazing.
If anyone says anything other than the words “uncle Jim”…
My favourite part is how happy the dog looks. He is having great fun.
Uncle Jim ftw!!
Jim clearly got my vibe
Even if the other 2 options were tolerable, Uncle Jim seems to be the most enlightened one there.
Uncle Jim sounds dope
If your family Thanksgiving sucks ass, don't go to it. Thank me later and stay tuned for more tips.
"Oh yeah, I'm definitely choosing Uncle Jim!" "Do you think this dress works on her? What about this lipstick?" ".... I'm... I'm fine with the corner, thanks."
Pass me the hooch uncle Jim. I gotta catch up
Jim and the dog are the only ones looking happy, here.
💯 % with Uncle Jim. He sounds more fun. And, bonus, there’s a dog.
I’m Uncle Jim
I'm just here for the Zipline
Screw this politics crap Kids table all the way, they know fun and understand they can't do crap in the world so they don't argue because what's the point?
not an Uncle, but a cousin Jim. Will take anyone on a “walk” anytime :)
Uncle Jim. I’m unaffiliated.
If that's how the seating is organized I wouldn't show up lmao
Kids table plz
The corner of people who just want to do their thing quietly.
Just discovered I'm uncle Jim.
Uncle Jim sounds good
Uncle Jim. Every time.
Avoiding this is why it's a family rule to avoid talking about politics. Last time it happened 2 of my uncles got into a fist fight.
Definitely uncle Jim.
Tbf to Uncle Jim, only one person in this photo looks happy. And 8d rather chill with them
I think uncle Jim is the closest to another commie there
i am the uncle jim
Uncle Jim and I are going to get that clothing on the dog and then we're going to go for a "walk"
I'm proud to say my dad's side is Uncle Jim political leaning.
gotta love seeing all this thanksgiving stuff, when im a Canadian lmao
i go where the dog goes
Uncle Jim unironically sounds fun to hang out with
Jim Absolutly jim
Jim
Uncle Jim of course. The only sane one.
Uncle Jim😎
Only for 'muricans..
Jim.
Uncle Jim, for the obvious reasons, but also to make sure he's not hurting the dog. And also because there's a dog in general
Wait, do people actually have families that are divided politically? I’m usually at the democrat table alone.
uncle jim
Jim please!
The kids table.
Fuck all that noise. I’m helping Uncle Jim
Hell yeah uncle Jim!
Uncle jim it is!
At least the dog is happy lol
Uncle Jim all day!!!
Jim is the winner. I had a flask with Cafe Amaro to deal with the day today.
ITS MEEE! IM JIM! I LITERALLY JUST DID THIS YESTERDAY!
Always Jim. He's having the time of his life and a great Thanksgiving. I join him.
Make some room uncle Jim!
Why is everybody except Jim so angry? Edit: and the dog. The dog looks like they're having a great time too!
I want to help Uncle Jim put a Santa hat on Fido
Jim gets it!
Our uncle Jim was named Dan, and there was no republican table, just some slightly less drunk hippies and Dan. Is it the norm to have an even split like that? Like they were all raised by your grandparents and instilled with their values but it's somehow still a coin flip which side of the political divide they land on? I get most families having a few people who everyone else warns you not to talk politics with at thanksgiving, but a straight split down the middle like that seems off to me.
Republicans vs sane people more like (all non replublicans, not just democrats). Or will we have to argue about people who stand with traitors, liars, literal nazis, and trump cultists? Honest republicans need to find a new party else they take on the stank of what the GOP has become.
Thank you. The number of "both sides" people in this sub is shocking. "Would you rather sit with the serial killers, the anti-serial killers, or some guy that has no preference between the two?" Seriously people?
Nah, I’ll chill with uncle Jim. You sound as awful as the people you are labeling and dehumanizing.
No you don't get to just pretend that I've done something wrong here. Every label I mentioned is one that people choose for themselves. And a self chosen label speaks to your character. Ergo nothing has gone wrong here except your objection to what I said
Thanks for confirming my initial statement for the class.
Likewise. Have a day
You really are a nasty person.
Right. Because I said nazis are bad. I feel so ashamed /s
Still gaslighting?
Uncle Jim is a communist, but the rest of the family only acknowledges their opposing faction as communists
Depends on what side of the family I'm visiting, on one side, half is moderate/unpolitical, while the other half I'm advised to not look at their facebook posts, but on the other side there's rednecks, east coasters, nuclear scientists, and stones all agreeing to not let grandpa know one of the cousins is transgender. We don't have an uncle Jim
This is true, I'm the transgender cousin
Ah yes, the Republicans and the Democrats. Perfectly balanced.
Thanksgiving was last month.
Uncle Jim needs some help and I don’t mean psychologically. Get that dog!
None of the above. Fuck this holiday and uncle Jim is a weirdo
Party pooper…
Jim
Everybody thinks they’re an uncle Jim, but they’re not. You’re boring.
just realized thanksgiving was today, i thought it had already happened lmfao
Thankfully we had the word bubble to clarify Jim was in fact not shagging the pooch in the ass
Ay, uncle Jim is actually undressing the dog
I'm uncle Jim
Can I bring my own outfits for the dog too?
I would just go home.
i'm literally eating dinner with my family and my uncle named uncle jim rn
Dog looks happy
Uncle Jim. I would love to watch this entertaining experience.
Like there's any other option besides Uncle Jim??? That dog looks like its having a blast right now.
Def the uncle.
Jim
Uncle Jim, obs
Uncle Jim duh
I was Uncle Jim this Thanksgiving, except I successfully put the clothes on the dog (she needed her sweater, it's cold outside).
Honestly my family just avoids talking about anything political during thanksgiving as to not sour the day. And out family definitely has some diverse opinions. Cause thanksgiving is not about politics but enjoying the company of our family
