40 Funniest Accidental Photobombs Ever

Photobombers remind us how being a little whimsical in life can be a good thing. And, some of them aren’t even humans (hello, cats!). The best thing about photobombers is that they can either improve your photo by adding a new perspective to it or destroy it considerably. That said, let’s take a look at some accidental photobombs that are no less entertaining than a scene from your favorite sitcom.

Standup comedian Amy Schumer loves to photobomb. She scores a perfect ten (or maybe even eleven) when it comes to acing the art of photobombing. Schumer photobombed a wedding shoot during one of her photobombing shenanigans. The result, however, is adorable.

The couple wore their best clothes for the shoot, and along comes this celebrity in workout clothes posing in their pictures. Would you keep her in your pictures?

Weddings can be a tiresome affair. There is so much planning, one has to do before their big day. In a nutshell, a wedding comes with a long list of events and activities. Many of these activities are normally executed by friends and family members of soon-to-be-newlyweds.

Case in point: the guy in the photograph. Apparently, the guy is so tired from the wedding frenzy that he has fallen asleep in the most unexpected places to catch some winks.

Do you know that famous activist Malala Yousafzai is a huge fan of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan? The activist, who turned 24 this year, has always wanted to meet the star.

Well, her wish came true on her birthday as Malala’s hubby Asser Malik arranged a cut–out of the star for her birthday celebrations. Doesn’t it look as if the star has inadvertently made his way into the picture of this happy couple?

This 1853 clicked photograph could well be considered the world’s first photobomb. In this picture, you can see a man in the upper left corner, ruining an otherwise perfect shot.

To tell you more about this amusing picture, this photograph was taken by Mary Dillwyn, one of the earliest female Welsh photographers in the mid-1850s. Dillwyn’s work was often praised to have an inherent natural charm to it. The photobomber simply amplified the charm, we’d say.

Many sports fans can get pretty excited during the live match. While some are able to contain their excitement, some fail miserably. The fan in the image below seems to fall in the latter category as he tries to approach his favorite team by crossing the barricade.

Sadly, he is stopped by the security with a photographer capturing the entire moment precisely on his camera. The team seems to be totally unaware of his presence.

Can one person be in two places at the same time? Well, they can, at least in this photograph. Clueless about what we are talking about? News reporter Mustafa Barghouti appears on live television with the same program running behind him.

However, there seems to be a lag in the video as the two stills aren’t exactly matching. He seems to be photobombing himself. Who knew that was even a possibility.

Isn’t golf supposed to be a gentleman’s sport? We also believed the same until we came across this image. In the image, you can see an upturned golf cart at a distance as a golfer is all set to make his strike!

The image does acquire a funny meaning if you connect these two together! On one hand, there is a completely nonplussed player while on the other side there is an out-of-control golf cart.

Cats are their own masters with the rest of the creatures being their diligent followers. They have a mind of their own, choosing to do only the things they like. So, nothing is off about them as weirdness and cats go hand in hand.

Like the cat in this image, who is seen admiring the toilet and is in its own world. Maybe he prefers ‘human water’ to ‘regular water.’ Who are we to judge, anyway!

Can you spot Waldo in this picture? Yes, he is the guy wearing his signature striped red-and-white shirt. The Waldo look does not seem bad on him! That’s how you nail the Waldo look!

To be honest, we are pinning this image on our board so that we can take inspiration from it later! What a wonderful way to photobomb.

We didn’t expect Voldemort to sunbathe. But, he seems to be a guy, who is abreast with all the latest happenings and developments in the world of beauty. He also seems to be bored of his pale skin tone and so is opting to get some tan.

It looks like someone seems to have forgotten to tell him that all skin tones are beautiful. Thank you girls for documenting this, unknowingly!

Celebrities are humans too. They like to photobomb pictures just as much as we like to photobomb theirs. Just look at the Terminator star Arnold Schwarzenegger and the pride in his eyes.

Arnold, in this photo, made his debut as a celebrity photobomber looking as stylish as ever. We don’t know about how happy or irked those tourists were at the prospect of someone ruining their shot, but we wouldn’t have bothered had we been there in their place.

We are happy to report that we have found Will Smith’s long-lost brother, or doppelganger, if you please. He was last seen in the Yellowstone National Park, USA. But what’s funnier is the guy standing right behind him.

The guy is wearing a blue vest emblazoned with the slogan: weights before dates! Well, he is got a good point there.

Every popular television show or movie has its fair (and unfair) share of bloopers. In 2019, Game of Thrones, was in the news after fans spotted a Starbucks cup in one of the episodes in the eighth season.

Another such blooper was the appearance of a truck in the background. Guess, someone in the editing room of GOT was too tired to notice this tiny little detail. Or was someone in the car simply trying to photobomb the shot? It is something to think about.

Clowns can be scary or funny – depending on whom you are asking! But, a clown photobomber (no, we are not talking about your goofy friends) can add a scary visual appeal to the photograph. Take a look at this picture for instance.

We hope that this image was taken on the evening of Halloween unless someone has a really twisted sense of humor and is photobombing the picture. Not cool though!

Known for their short temper and giant heart, Chewbacca is one of the rebels who fought to bring back freedom to the galaxy. Of course, this is a fictional character,  which means that the chances of actually meeting him in real life are as slim as finding a cat that is obedient.

But, this family seems to have met Chewbacca during one of their outings. So, maybe this person really does exist after all!

We could not help but think how lucky the girl in this picture is. She got a photograph, unknowingly, with two great actors in a single frame. It’s like hitting two birds with one stone. Except, she does not know it yet.

She poses with Modern Family’s star Ty Burrell, and the guy who is photobombing this photo is Bryan Cranston from Breaking Bad. This image would have definitely made her day.

Before you freak out let us clarify that this toddler wasn’t born with a furry tail nor is this image photoshopped in any way. It is the work of a cat that accidentally photobombed this picture.

Surely, you will agree that cats are just pro-photobombers. One of them even made us believe that this toddler has a white furry tail. But besides that, doesn’t that smiling toddler look oh-so-adorable?

One of the basic principles of reporting taught in journalism schools is to report the situation as it is. Therefore, a reporter should be neutral in their approach and stick to the information that is factual in nature.

The reporter here seems to have forgotten his reporting basics and is reporting from the event as ‘he sees it.’ He can be seen declaring the party to be over, when in reality, it is still going on.

While cats have been crowned as the internet’s favorite animal, they have new competitors — horses. Who said that only cats are allowed to break the internet? It seems like horses can do that too!

Pharrell Williams could have actually used this horse in his ‘Happy’ song. Because the smile this horse has put on surely makes us happy and puts us in a good mood.

This grandmother is one lucky fan as she is photobombed by her favorite musical personality, unknowingly. In the image, she is seen wearing a black t-shirt bearing the face of GNR’s lead guitarist Slash, as he surreptitiously walks behind her.

We wonder what her reaction would be when she discovers the fact that her music idol was right behind her all along! Her expression would have been priceless, we imagine!

Elmo from The Muppets seems sad and forlorn in this image as he spots a man hugging a different animated character. Maybe he is thinking that he lost a fan or his popularity is on the decline.

Just looking at that shocked expression almost makes your heartache. But like they say, ‘There is a new sheriff in town.’ And Woody happens to be a sheriff too. Sorry, Elmo. Looks like the sheriff got a new fan.

This is probably the cutest couple ever. They almost look like they have stepped out of a romantic-comedy film. Everything seems perfect except for the accidental photobomber.

And this couple’s photobomber is none other than standup comedian Dave Chapelle. His expression is hilarious. We are assuming the couple kept this picture. Also, kudos to the photographer, for catching this moment!

The cat in this image is looking at the goldfish as though it is some kind of food. By the looks of it, it seems that the cat s about to pounce on the poor fish any minute and to swallow it whole.

Fortunately, that is not the case. Instead, the photograph was taken at a weird angle, making the cat look scary and as though it is menacingly eyeing the fish.

This couple got photobombed by Aaron Paul aka Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad at Coachella. Paul, in the image, can be seen showing thumbs up towards the direction of the camera as if he is saying, “I did it. I managed to photobomb someone’s photograph. That, too, at Coachella.”

The couple, however, doesn’t seem to mind this him since they are unaware of Paul’s presence in the frame.

If you feel that photobombing is only possible on the earth, think again. You can get photobombed in space, too. Case in point: the now-viral tweet by the French astronaut Thomas Pesquet.

Pesquet mentioned in his tweeter account how his selfie was photobombed by a friend in a spacesuit. He adds that his friend managed to do that by hanging upside down in the background. Quite the way to photobomb, we feel!

When a bird photobombs a picture, it adds a stunning quality to the final image instead of ruining it. The picture that you see below was captured in Dalkeith Century Country Park, Scotland.

As soon as the girls tried to capture their walk into the camera, a red robin bird flew in the front of the camera, demanding its picture to be taken by fluttering its wings furiously. This could well be the cutest photobomb ever.

We have all done this at some point in time. Imagine how much fun it must have been for the guys to photobomb this pretty woman’s picture. Making funny poses is always fun. We have a feeling that the girl knew it too.

Her smile reveals that. However, the person on the far left, the accidental photobomber, takes the cake. He clearly did not expect to be part of the show.

What’s with all these celebrities photobombing the engagement, wedding, and even proposal pictures? After Amy Schumer and David Chapelle, NBA superstar photobombed a couple’s engagement when he got into their frame during his sunset stroll on the beach.

The couple however was elated to spot him in the frame, even pulling him in later to be part of their celebrations.

This is a hard one as you can easily miss the photobomber in case you don’t look close enough! The photobomber, in this image, is a rooster, who can be seen standing on the lady’s left side.

Perhaps, this shutterbug-friendly rooster was intrigued by the scenery and wanted to be in the photograph when it was being taken by the photographer! Or is that Moana and Hei Hei?

Photobombing can be fun, at least, according to former Prince Harry’s funny facial expressions. In this image, Harry is taking his tongue out while the couple is being photographed.

His adorable child-like expression here adds a comic quality to an otherwise forgettable photograph. How cool must it have felt to have a member of the royal family photobomb your picture? It is not something that happens every day! Don’t you agree?

Cats do whatever they want, regardless of the circumstances. In fact, sometimes it seems like they are occupying their own world and care little for those puny humans and their problems. This cat just felt like ruining a good photo.

Either it wants to get its photograph taken or make a statement that it has arrived in Paris. Either way, this cat just seems to love the lens a bit too much, we say.

Believe it or not but cats do not have a monopoly on photobombing. They have always had to compete with their archrivals, the dogs. The entire narrative of photobombing is inverted in this photograph as the dog can be obediently seen posing for the photograph.

His flow is interrupted by a human, who tries to add mock horns. Yes, he did emerge victorious in photobombing this sweet canine!

Curiosity is good as it can push people to be creative and imaginative. But excess curiosity can be bad. The service lady, in the frame, looks on curiously in the direction of the camera, as the photographer takes the photograph of the three ladies posing together.

Guess, the service lady was eager to be part of the photograph. Maybe the three women tipped her well and she was just trying to thank them.

And, that’s how you photobomb! This pigeon can give us a tip or two or three on how to do the photobombing correctly. In this image taken at Milan Cathedral, Italy, the pigeon decides to fly past the person’s face.

This winged photobomber does add a flair to the photo, making it look funny, surreal, and artsy – all at the same time. For all you know, it must also have a great sense of humor.

In this image taken in Melbourne, Australia, a man makes his way into a selfie of a couple. The man in question seems to be aware of his intruding presence in the photograph as he smiles surreptitiously in the direction of the camera.

We wonder if photobombing is his regular job or is it something that he likes to do in his free time. Also, when you are not too busy looking at him, you will notice that the couple looks sweet together.

Expect to be photobombed when visiting an amusement park or a theme park. The general rule at the amusement park is that you photobomb someone (knowingly or unknowingly) — and the others do the same to you.

For instance, a stranger can be seen photobombing this image as he breaks into a goofy grin at the backdrop. These kids seem unaware of the man’s presence behind them. However, it could easily turn into a meme.

Besides amusement parks or theme parks, zoos and sanctuaries are other locations, where you can get photobombed a lot – by animals. For instance, if you look at this image you can see a giraffe photobombing the selfie of these young visitors.

The visitors, however, seem happy to be photobombed, and try to adjust the camera accordingly so that it looks more like a natural photograph instead of a photobombed one.

Here’s a photograph that proves that animals are the best photobombers. In this picture, you can see the dog eyeing the giant fish, greedily, as his owner clicks the image of himself holding the day’s catch.

This cute fellow is too busy eyeing the fish and probably has no idea that his picture is being taken. We hope he gets to relish it soon enough. Who could say no to those adorable eyes anyway?

It seems that the red carpet is also a good place to get photobombed. See how Michael B. Jordan slyly photobombs Lupita Nyong here. The expression on Nyong’s face when she realizes she is being photobombed is priceless.

It almost looks like she was expecting this to happen. We all know that Jordon loves a good photobomb and he looks good doing it, too.

Stalking is neither cool nor romantic. It is just plain creepy. This photobomber looks like a little stalker, which makes us feel a little uncomfortable. Who knows what’s on their mind!

The person in this image can be seen looking at the happy couple from the glass pane with a creepy expression. We wonder, what is this person is planning or plotting!
