No no, this is an animal photobomb, not a a regular animal bomb. It's still one of the best things that we've ever seen, but it's not what we came here to talk about.
Merriam-Webster defines the term "photobomb" as ... well, absolutely nothing, because photobomb has yet to be added to the dictionary. It's more one of those "you know it when you see it" sort of things.
It takes a certain breed of human (or animal for that matter) to perfect the almighty photobomb. The creepy expression, the ideal timing-- it takes a lot of talent. Some jokesters can spend years practicing these techniques, but others are just naturals (like babies). So who's the most recent addition to the photobomber talent list? Celebrities.
The votes are in for this year’s TheFW awards and the award for Best Photo of 2012 goes to “Stingray Photobomb” with an impressive 40% of the vote.
It's unfortunate that the gentleman in the background has no idea he's mastered the fine art of the accidental photobomb. We can only surmise that his thought at the moment was to look natural whilst unintentionally sitting in on this family's picture. Or possibly lunch. There is no way he could have planned this. Humanity doesn't allow for a degree of coolness that great.
We're going to make a pretty huge statement right now ladies and gents, so brace yourselves: photobombing is hands down the best way to capture any sort of moment. Ruining a picture with that unexpectedly hilarious face or the addition of a random stranger in a photo simply adds that extra oomph needed to bring a picture to the next level. Plus, it's just funny stuff.

Photobombing takes some serious skill. It’s all about the right timing and awkward positioning that makes for the ideal ruined picture. Most times, it takes years of practice to achieve this sort of obnoxious talent, like pro ‘Photobomb Girl’ or the world’s most awesome stingray. But did you know there’s a certain breed of people who seem to have this whole photobombing thing down pat with little
The art of the photobomb takes major practice and skill. It could take humans years of failed attempts to properly and completely ruin someone else's picture, because it involves mastering accurate timing and terribly funny faces.
It takes a lot to upstage the President of the United States in a photograph, but these grade school kids have done it. We're not the only ones who think so. Even the president himself (or at least his Twitter account) labeled this the "picture of the day." We're pretty sure it's not because of the kid who's trying to eat his shirt. Or the way the president isn't looking at the camera ei
Until now, we had been assuming that the so-called "Perverted Stingray," who "photo bombed" some nice young women on vacation and created an internet sensation, was just happening by when the photo was snapped. Sarah Bourland, the lady on the left in the photo, let us in on how this meme was really brought into fruition.
Mitt Romney was on the campaign trail at a Chipotle in Denver, Colorado when this photo was taken. The man in the picture swears this is just his excited face. Unfortunately, his expression, coupled with his striking similarity to a young Will Smith, made this photo a guaranteed internet sensation. It made it's way into Reddit's Photoshop Battles, and these are just a few of the hilarious results.
