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.

What do you think ?

I photobombed a group picture back before it was a thing. The group was comprised of about 30 people, all of the same ethnic group. I was walking behind them, and I happen to be of the same ethnic group, so I stepped up and got in their photo. Now, 23 years later, I often think of people looking at the photo, pointing to me and wondering, "Who was THAT guy?"

Kusotare, I just read your comment after posting mine. Sounds like you & my dad would have gotten along swimmingly :-)

Be nice people! Be funny, be silly, join the group in a group shot ---- but do not add an offensive gesture. Respect others. Consider joining a family picture, then saying something like, "Hey, did you get me in the shot?" So the picture can be taken again. When I take photographs of others, including strangers, I take several pictures -- sometimes, depending on the group, with different instructions - smile, say (funny in the moment word), stand on one leg to show who has good balance, hands on your hips, then try to get the honest laughter that follows. They end up with several staged shots and a bunch of, hopefully, funny pictures. Of course rude, demanding Karens get one photo.
