Trend Hunter's Vice President, Shelby Walsh, is all about clever photobombers who know how to turn a boring old photo into a comic masterpiece. She has picked her five favorite photobombing moments, ranging from Patrick the Starfish's infiltration of the Disney realm, to a zombie disrupting a pleasant picnic.
Shelby's favorite photobomber is actually never in a photograph him/herself. Instead, they go on public buses and trains, and hold up newspaper photos of random people, setting them on top of transit passengers to make them look like celebrities, politicians, or downright weirdos.
Another hilarious instance of photobombing is that of Patrick the Starfish. This beloved children's cartoon character and his wildly expressive face have been inserted into a ton of random pop culture photographs. He has been shoved into everything from Princess Ariel's wedding dress to Angelina Jolie's famous black Oscars gown.
These photobombers are clearly talented at what they do. Their creations are definitely some of the funniest and wittiest from around the web, proving that pictures sometimes do tell a thousand words.
