  • optimusprime01, on 06/14/2008, -63/+28Like my british friends would say "smashing".Well the dude in the thumbnail really needs to get laid. I guess he goes around every girl and makes the same pose asking for "BJ".

    I loved the:
    1- Girl Kissing
    2- Couple kiss and the guy posing as having penis erection.
    What about you guys?
    • maing, on 06/14/2008, -3/+19Picture #13 is hilarious,the naked man in the pool :D
    • noahgelman, on 06/14/2008, -2/+11I like the albino in the second pic. Plus it took me a sec to get the gesture the guy is doing in the thumbnail
    • DeviantDragon, on 06/15/2008, -3/+103Thank you for clarifying that it was a "penis erection" and not an erection of some other part of the male body.
    • mem2, on 06/15/2008, -3/+2number 11 for the insane crazy look and the funny caption. had me lol.
    • Trichomonas, on 06/15/2008, -2/+214, 15, and 22 are my favorites.
    • SSUK, on 06/15/2008, -1/+7Well, as my American friends would say; "Yee Haw".

      Yeah, doesn't seem cool when we use redundant stereotypes, huh?
      • LeonidasStokely, on 06/15/2008, -0/+2I still saw smashing. And pants!. And I'd rather use the 'ole two fingers than just one. And I have massive farmer chops. That last one was a lie.
    • russianfella, on 06/15/2008, -1/+1yup, 15 is the best.
    • Trax91, on 06/15/2008, -0/+5This is ***** for Dummies.

  • Easyoffbam, on 06/14/2008, -139/+15Hey look it's another dupe article from MrBabyMan. Lets all digg it furiously...

    • efitz11, on 06/15/2008, -0/+12the "a&f models" made me laugh so hard
    • DalamarArgent, on 06/15/2008, -2/+3That was probably the funniest list I have seen on the internet. I was in tears by the mid teens.
      • Vironex, on 06/15/2008, -1/+6Sounds like you should write some poetry.
    • fugazied, on 06/15/2008, -1/+5The final one was pure pure genius. But about 7 of them made me LOL.
    • lamiaconfitor, on 06/15/2008, -0/+1I have to remember to carry an alkaseltzer to my friends party next week... here comes zombie photo bombing!

  • Bukowsky, on 06/14/2008, -14/+4I love jumping into the background of other people's pictures. I do it every chance I get.
  • mess7777, on 06/14/2008, -2/+564white dude posing with all the black dudes. That one is awesome.
    • Funpolice2050, on 06/15/2008, -5/+141How about the black dude posing with all the white chicks. He is in for a different kind of beat down if you know what I mean.
      • ihavecancer, on 06/16/2008, -1/+0what do you mean, I don't get it
    • alucinante, on 06/15/2008, -4/+11photoshopped
      • LeonidasStokely, on 06/15/2008, -0/+13I can tell by the epidermals.
    • TheBigBad, on 06/15/2008, -0/+48Even better then the picture itself was the guy in the XXXXXXXL pink panther shirt. I guess I just don't understand fashion.
      • rex84, on 06/15/2008, -2/+21Don't worry, neither does he.
      • thetanman, on 06/15/2008, -2/+13I guess I just don't understand BLACK PEOPLE. $14k cars with $3k rims/tires... wtf. That's why Bill Cosby is pissed.
    • qwertycopter, on 06/15/2008, -0/+7albino dude posing with the white couple. That one is awesome.
    • MrJagil, on 06/15/2008, -1/+10Srsly, anyone noticed the comments on the pics? worst. ever.
    • ManicMyna, on 06/15/2008, -0/+5that guy righteously wins the the award for the best mugging off of a bunch of wannabe gangsta
    • maxiscool, on 06/15/2008, -0/+7I don't understand where one buys t-shirts that enormous...
    • NotOptium, on 06/15/2008, -0/+7Poor Lionel. This was the last photo of him.

      RIP.
  • awesometastic1, on 06/15/2008, -14/+96I thought it was called "That Guy", not photobombers. Though I think i like the photobombers term better. It's like declaring a jihad on people's photo's :-) America, F*&k Ya!
    • crossmr, on 06/15/2008, -0/+11Just their attempt to create a buzz word.. or propagate one.
    • therocksays, on 06/15/2008, -3/+15It is called "that guy." Buried for trying to replace a better word, with a ***** one.
      • Vironex, on 06/15/2008, -5/+13Buried for not knowing how to use a comma.
  • aflaks, on 06/15/2008, -1/+23History channel exclusive: "THAT guy finally caught on camera"
    • Earthacis, on 06/17/2008, -0/+2You mean "That guy" as in the one in #34? Because when I saw that picture it freaked me out!
  • slapshot24, on 06/15/2008, -1/+400If by "ruining" you mean "making more awesome" then yes. Most of those were totally forgettable photos if it weren't for the person in the background.
  • budderfly, on 06/15/2008, -3/+90haha @ butt on window, so perfect
  • tpearl, on 06/15/2008, -17/+1I think this has been on before. ALOT.
    • Radanator, on 06/15/2008, -1/+8I think it is sad that some people feel the need to whine rather than enjoy an entertaining article. VERY.
    • ConfusedCartman, on 06/15/2008, -1/+3I think I (a)don't browse upcoming news and (b)don't care.
  • artfiend77, on 06/15/2008, -10/+5 I bust a gut looking at some of these! The last two are my favs! Is that Flavor Flav in the last one?
  • Jenadae, on 06/15/2008, -13/+3Kinda sorta NSFW
  • spuk25, on 06/15/2008, -3/+18#11 FTW
    • leduck8, on 06/15/2008, -0/+5Stupid fat hobittses... they STOLE it from us!
    • computerusr, on 06/15/2008, -2/+5Just say the ***** picture, so I don't have to reclick the article, reclick "launch photo gallery" and then reclick all the way to number 11. You *****.
  • amanilaenvelope, on 06/15/2008, -10/+4picture #14 is a ***** when you see it.
    • TheCoreh, on 06/15/2008, -0/+4why?
    • masahlko, on 06/15/2008, -0/+1i don't get #14 is it just that theres a dude in the background behind the two girls?
    • crownedgriffin, on 06/15/2008, -0/+1He looks like the guy in the window from one of the ***** pictures. The one with the girls in the jacuzzi.
  • mattcoady, on 06/15/2008, -6/+380Lets not forget

    • vdgmr1213, on 06/15/2008, -0/+114Lets do forget. Please.
    • studdenfadden, on 06/15/2008, -0/+53You should have taged that NSFA (not safe for anywhere).
    • iruel, on 06/15/2008, -1/+25***** you

    • LemonPress, on 06/15/2008, -0/+5Oh man I just lost my appetite.
    • sstidman, on 06/15/2008, -0/+4It's clearly the same guy in the foreground and background. Light appears to have traveled back in time just at the right moment allowing us all to see how the woman looks moments before the ring gets put on her finger and then how she looks one year later.

      Single guys...now you know. RRRUUUUNNNNNNNN !!!
  • celer1ty, on 06/15/2008, -20/+14Thank God for Photoshop.
  • Breticus07, on 06/15/2008, -2/+11was it just me or were those link things on that table to the left really annoying?
  • cowcowmoomoo1, on 06/15/2008, -1/+6I think the guy in #11 is getting attacked by a vampire... oh my god...
  • luet, on 06/15/2008, -1/+461They missed one very important picture.

  • plimpton777, on 06/15/2008, -30/+8Great photo! Who'd you steal it from?
  • shondell, on 06/15/2008, -5/+299I liked the part where the person ruined the photo.
  • smellytim, on 06/15/2008, -7/+15generally referred to as the "that guy" not the "photobomber." ***** i just noticed someone else said the same thing. kudos my friend
  • SamyK, on 06/15/2008, -2/+22Wow, this really made me laugh. Usually I don't actually laugh out loud when I see stuff on the computer, but a couple of those were just priceless. The one with the preppy white guy in the group of black guys really - well... I can relate to that one.
    • quantumduck, on 06/15/2008, -0/+7Yeah, me too. I hate it how every time I get my pink panther outfit on some ***** white dude has to jump in and ruin the picture.
  • Mist0r_Wiggles, on 06/15/2008, -17/+12dude, that's my friend's sister. lol i can't wait to tell her her faced is on the front page of Digg. btw her name is Jackie
    • ConfusedCartman, on 06/15/2008, -0/+13ok

          I put on my robe and wizard hat.
      • Syntheticbadger, on 06/15/2008, -0/+2i can do the one better:

    • Mist0r_Wiggles, on 06/15/2008, -1/+13that picture was taken back in high school for her...
      so now she is

      21-23?/F/Bay Area CA

      that's all i can say...lol
    • czeman, on 06/15/2008, -4/+14Ever nail her?
    • Jumpeplowski, on 06/15/2008, -1/+11Way to mention which pic you're talking about.
  • inspecality, on 06/15/2008, -2/+43Apparently Diggers like to relate the story to their lives, as shown in the comments above.

    Luckily I have no life, so none of you will have to suffer.
    • crossmr, on 06/15/2008, -0/+7What is more amazing is that people will digg those relations without a shred of evidence.

      • BoonTobias, on 06/15/2008, -1/+4lol evidence, just digg that *****
  • kleash, on 06/15/2008, -11/+3I just shat 22 blocks of bricks..thanks to digg, this scarred me for life
  • xsquirrel378x, on 06/15/2008, -9/+3its like lamer more G rated versions of pictures on 4chan
    • badjoke, on 06/15/2008, -1/+6Because we're all DYING for versions of these pictures with 3 Japanese boys ***** eachother.
  • Silencer1, on 06/15/2008, -6/+6This just begs the question how the photographer does not see some of these people.
    • DirtySanch, on 06/15/2008, -0/+26You can tell on some of them that the photographer made sure to get them in the picture.
    • dopplerdog, on 06/15/2008, -0/+18"Raises the question". "Begging the question" means something completely different.
      • snurfle, on 06/15/2008, -0/+6THANK you!!!
        Improper use of "Begs the question" makes me twitch the way that improper use of "Ironic" used to.
        But, thanks to internets, I'm sure I will become numb to this one as well.
      • Chalks777, on 06/15/2008, -2/+2I'm not entirely sure what's wrong with his usage in this case.

        Begs the question would mean it's a question that is so obvious you're required to ask it.
        Raises the question would mean it's a question that is up for debate inspired by the topic.

        It makes more sense to me for him to use the former. Am I missing something and/or defining these things incorrectly? I'm honestly confused by your comment, dopplerdog.
        • pbaehr, on 06/15/2008, -0/+2That's just what everyone THINKS it means. If you look up the actual usage you'll see that it actually has a very specific (and confusing) usage.
        • Chalks777, on 06/15/2008, -0/+2Ah. I am now going to proceed to be anal retentive about this. I'm glad to know yet another obscure bit of knowledge about English. For anyone else who'd like to understand, here's an informative (and amusing) article about it:
          http://digg.com/educational/Begging_the_Question_n ...
    • HiddenLYNX, on 06/15/2008, -0/+2Because when people are taking pictures, they dont always account for everything in the frame except the subject. They mentally crop the image. It isnt until people begin to understand composition and framing in camera that they will notice everything.
  • hanis21, on 06/15/2008, -4/+6The coolness of the chick in number 12 who 'ruined' the photo actually made it better :)
    ty
    ..you made my day :)
  • MalDON, on 06/15/2008, -6/+28OMFG it is that guy in the last pic from the school id's!
  • Onji, on 06/15/2008, -4/+2Number 19 is win.
  • adoyle, on 06/15/2008, -9/+10Pictures were funny; commentary not so much.
    • ConfusedCartman, on 06/15/2008, -5/+2I disagree, the commentary is what had me lol'ing.

    The author spends way to much time looking at teenage girl's profiles.

  • diggduggjoe, on 06/15/2008, -1/+5My fav is #12, for no girl will ever be able to share that with a future boyfriend. No matter how much he loves you or how adorable you are, he will be thinking of screwing the girl behind you!
  • ShadowFoxxx, on 06/15/2008, -8/+2LOL.

    Everywhere you go, assholes are sure to be there, waiting to ruin a perfect picture.
    • flipdoubt, on 06/15/2008, -1/+2Assholes? More like "people who rock so hard, your face melts off your head"!

      Oh no! Don't ROOON it!!!
  • Charnoble, on 06/15/2008, -0/+164That guy on the beach between the jumping girls is totally pro.
    • KDyneria, on 06/15/2008, -1/+8I love how the fattest one of the girls couldn't get any air off her jump.
