I’m not so sure that #3 was intended to be taken the same way the rest of them are. That mom just kinda looks like she found something funny at the WalMart and is posing with it. I think it’s pretty harmless.

  Yeah this one gets a pass because it’s just silly comedy perfectly at the kid’s level. A plastic butt. What’s more hilariously childish than that? Farts, I guess, but they don’t photograph well.

Trying to look hot is 1) not working, 2) is especially not working when you have your kid in the pic, and 3) is especially not working with your kid in the pic and your surroundings looks like you live in a landfill.
