Let's be real for a sec here. At some point, we've all felt mild irritation upon scrolling through social media and seeing pic after pic after pic of handsy couples. Yeah, you're in love [1]! We get it!

Emily Musson's parents made our cynical dreams come true when they (affectionately) mocked their daughter by re-creating cutesy pics with her boyfriend.

Emily, who's a student at LIM College in New York City, met her man, Johnny, two weeks ago and, in her early-relationship excitement, posted a few photos on Facebook [2]. Her mom and dad — who've been together for 28 years — decided to take some snapshots of their own, and they quickly went viral. On Twitter, Emily has more than 42,000 retweets and over 57,000 favorites. It's easy to see why: the pics are side-splitting. Check 'em out.
