Definition of: "Photobomb"

... otherwise known as my newest site (meme?) discovery.

This is Photobomb: Photojackers of the World Unite!


December 5, 2009 Urban Word of the Day

photobomb:
1. (noun)-
a) Any time the background of a picture hijacks the original focus;
b) An otherwise normal photo that has been ruined or spoiled by someone who was not supposed to be in the photograph.
2. (verb)- to drop in a photo unexpectedly...to hop in a picture right before it is taken.

I know it is inane, but some of the photos I've come across are really one of a kind; such it is that split-second moment before the picture is taken, and what or whom could possibly insert themselves in that instant to totally alter the result.

After you are done perusing, post your favorites.

I'm still laughing at the "BirdMan".

Here's another good (and popular) one:

Crasher Seal Photobombs Group Of Penguins (PHOTO)

Imagine these poor penguins' surprise when they went to go pick up their pictures from the nearest 1 Hour Photo.
Finally able to relax after months of withstanding the unbearably cold ancestral breeding grounds, all they wanted
to do was take a group shot. But in an homage to crasher squirrel, some a-hole seal had to show up and ruin it.
And of course, this is the only picture on the roll where nobody blinked.

I think this is my favorite... though it may not be a "technical" photobomb. It's just so random, and smile-inducing. I thought I found the set where this picture originated, (something about "Alaskan Crab Fishing") but maybe not. It had the same cat and it was on a boat, but there was no horse head to be found. Kinda weird they'd leave that one photo off.

I've noticed it's very hard to segue from commenting to actually getting on to posting what originally led me here... I'm sorry there's no link.

I think this is one of those, yes?



Another, technically they may not be true bombs.

Then I guess not. I only caught 2 1/2 persons the first few times I looked at it.

Are you the other half?

"If it quacks like a duck -"

I'm really glad this was the last photo(-bomb) in my queue;
while this premise is usually funny, I do find it sophomoric to
feel obliged to post here without anyone else contributing anymore.

I do not have inkling one whether this is real or not, but the background expressions
(however smaller and near-unrecognizable) really hit home, at least for me.
