When we compose our pics, it's usually the foreground that gets the most attention. After all, it's often where the main action is. But sometimes the background totally steals the show!

Whether it's an animal doing something unexpected or a total stranger intentionally photobombing, the possibilities are virtually endless.

So to remind you to pay attention to every pixel within a frame, we at Bored Panda compiled this exclusive list of some of the funniest backgrounds in photos ever. Continue scrolling to enjoy the images and fire up our earlier piece for more of the same.
