Cell phones have made it possible to take as many photos and videos as you desire, so it's safe to say that there are some hilarious moments captured on camera! However, most of these photo fails happen when you try to capture something beautiful or important. But luckily for us, this makes the whole scenario so much more fun! Although it's not nice to laugh at other people's misfortunes, these images are just too funny; you can't help but giggle. So, if you want to brighten up your day, continue scrolling to view some of the most hilarious photos fails of this century!
They Got More Than They Bargained for
A day at the zoo is exciting for most children. So when this little girl's parents wanted to surprise her with a fun day at the zoo, they got more than they bargained for! The day started off well, and when they stopped at the giraffe exhibit, she was elated. Her parents decided to take a picture of her with the majestic animals in the background.
But what happens next ruins the moment forever! As they snap the picture, the male giraffe mounts the female, and the camera captures it in all its glory. While it might be embarrassing, it's a great story to share for a laugh with loved ones.
This Is What I Think of Your Selfie!
Oh, the good old days when you were in school, and your biggest worry was what party to attend over the weekend. Spending time with friends was your highest priority, and having sleepovers with your girlfriends was mandatory! Of course, having a pajama party and taking selfies were always on the top of the list, and these girls were no different. However, her dog had other ideas.
Her dog turned around and mooned the camera as they took the photo. We can't tell if she realized this while taking the picture because she looks like she is laughing at her dog. But it doesn't matter because this is the cutest selfie in the world!
FORE!!!
There are so many scenarios that could have transpired here. The first is the golfer hit the driver on the head, knocking him out, causing the cart to roll. The second is that the driver was going too fast and lost control of the golf cart. Whatever the reason, it's impressive that someone managed to capture this on camera at that exact moment.
If the accident happened because of the golfer, we hope he yelled FORE before hitting the ball! However, even if the driver heard him, he wouldn't have had time to get away.
Boys Will Be Boys
There's nothing like some father-daughter bonding on a fishing trip. Look! They even caught a fish together. But, of course, it's hard to bypass the elephant in the room. It turns out it wasn't a father-daughter trip but a father and kids bonding session and Jr decided that he would relieve himself when his sister and father were taking a photo.
We would have loved to see their faces when they saw this photo for the first time. Were they mad at their son, or did they find it funny and laugh?
Dad! You're Embarrassing Me!
Dads can be embarrassing at the best of times, so teenagers rarely give them a chance to mingle with their friends. And forget about dropping them off at prom! However, this young did agree to allow his father to take some pre-prom pics. They thought no one would ever know that his dad was practically naked behind the camera! Next time maybe take the photo somewhere with no mirror; nobody needs to see that!
You would think a teenager would want to keep this far from the reach of the internet, but somehow it made it onto our list. Maybe he didn't realize that you could see his half-naked dad in the reflection.
Sh*ting on Her Parade
This was supposed to be a special moment; the last photo of her pregnant belly. However, her dog had other ideas. It was either a funny coincidence, or the dog knew something was coming and did not want things to change. So, he decided to photobomb his mom and took it one step further by taking a dump at the exact moment the flash went off.
Luckily, his mom found this hilarious and even posted the pic on Facebook with a caption explaining the situation. Something tells us she is excited to show this photo to her baby once they are older.
Whose the Hottie?
Awww, isn't that innocent smile so sweet? Well, judging by who is taking the photo, she is not so innocent. How could she not realize that you can see the reflection in the mirror? She posted this photo to her Facebook account, and as you can see from how many comments she got, a few of her friends probably have the same question.
Now, if she did this on purpose, we can definitely see why. Anybody would want to brag about being alone in a hotel room with him. Regardless, glad she is living her best life.
Not so Subtle
This couple is trying to capture a memory, and both look really happy at this moment. But the whole photo got ruined by the man to their left who decided to use his tight pants as gloves. It's clearly a cold day, but does he have no shame? There are tons of people around him, and he doesn't have a care in the world.
He could've used his vest to keep his hands warm, but we guess that the groin's body heat is significantly warmer. He needs to be careful; someone might report him for sexual misconduct.
You Should've Checked Twice Before Posting
Graduating can be exciting, and completing a thesis is no easy task. So, we get that this guy wanted to brag about completing university and starting his new journey. However, he should've checked twice before posting because he missed one minor detail. Yes, he forgot to clear his browser, and you can clearly see he was watching PornHub. We sure hope his parents didn't see this!
While watching porn isn't as taboo as it used to be, it's still embarrassing since the post was supposed to be about the end of an error, not his PornHub subscription.
Don't Brag About What You Don't Have!
Showing off your wealth is ok if you worked hard for it, but this young man wanted to appear rich and would go to any lengths to achieve it. So he came up with a plan to take a pic of himself flashing around a lot of cash. However, his plan failed dismally when people started to notice that those hundred dollar bills weren't the same size. Did he think no one would see, or did he not realize it?
Nevertheless, his get-attention-quick scheme backfired, and he became a laughing stock. So, the moral of the story here is don't pretend to be something you're not.
Put on Some Pants!
It's never safe to take a dodgy photo when there's a mirror in the room. Come on, man, this looks like it's supposed to be an important day, and you didn't have time to put some pants on? It's like people who got caught on Zoom meeting calls with their pants down. While this could've been a very misleading photo, the mirror ruined everything!
Surprisingly, no one noticed until it was too late. Next time make sure there are no mirrors in the room, or just put some pants on for the love of God!
Reflections Can Be a B*tch
The thing about social media is people only post what they want you to see. Take this guy, for example, he tried to portray that he was happy and having a good morning, but the reflection in that coffee tells a different story. It appears this poor guy is severely depressed and in need of some serious help. Or did he purposefully post this, thinking he would receive a lot of attention and sympathy?
Whatever the answer, this person needs help and hopefully received some after he published this pic. We shouldn't try to hide our problems; if we don't ask for help, no one will know anything is wrong.
Someone Invited a Serial Killer to the Wedding
Talking about horror movies, here is another frightening sight. As this couple seals their marriage with a kiss, the serial killer, Jason, appears from behind the bushes to photobomb them. So, it looks like he has gone from killing people to ruining their wedding photos. So, naturally, the couple can't be too happy that Jason ruined one of the most memorable photos of the day.
But what if the couple is horror fanatics and planned having Jason pop up when they say, "I do." It must have come as a massive shock for the guests, who might have been oblivious to the surprise guest.
Dogs Love Attention
We all know that dogs love attention, and no matter what, they are by your side. So, when this young lady wanted to indulge in a selfie before a big night out, her dog didn't want to miss out on the action. Did she not hear him jump up or see the dog in the camera's reflection? Did it not matter to her that her dog was basically trying to break through the window to get to her?
We hope that when she stepped out the door, her dog didn't jump on her stunning outfit! It looks like he has a lot of energy.
The Perfect Family Photo
All parents know how hard it is to get a perfect family photo. Most of the time, the children run around or fight with each other. Or, someone blinks or pulls a funny face. This family could've had the cutest family pic if their dog didn't decide to run up to the tree behind them and take a pee. But it could be worse; the dog could have peed on one of them...
These days, you can use photoshop to fix something like this, but in the good old days, you just had to accept that the best photo you have includes a dog relieving himself on the tree behind your family.
Unintentionally Photobomb
We all have those days when we feel amazing about ourselves, and we want to savor that memory through a photo. But what happens when that pic is tainted by a stranger's plumber's crack? This girl is smiling away, thinking she's taking the best pic ever but doesn't realize that she is actually taking a photo of someone's butt. Bet she was super disappointed when she saw what she had done.
Now all you see when you look at this photo is someone's crack and not her pretty smile. Don't worry, though; she is beautiful. We are sure she has plenty of other pics she can use.
Putting Yourself Out There Can Be Difficult
This poor girl just wanted to show off that insane view to her Facebook community, but as in most cases, there are haters out there that love to embarrass people. While the guy in the comments has a good point, he could have DM'ed her and brought it to light in private. But, besides that, this is hilarious; the light shining on her knee does make it look like she has a really long penis!
This poor girl probably loved this picture, and now it has been ruined. Hopefully, she got to go back to that spot and get a second pic of that gorgeous view.
The Cat's Out of the Bag
Mommies-to-be have a lot on their plates. They are constantly worried about their unborn babies and making sure they take all the precautions to keep them safe. That's why when they have a good doctor's visit and ultrasound pictures, they want to share them with the world. And that's exactly what this expecting mother did. However, she teased her followers a little by saying they knew the sex of the baby and everyone else would have to wait to find out.
But what she didn't realize was that the sex of the baby was on the top of the ultrasound, and she just told everyone she knew the secret she and her husband so desperately wanted to keep.
Photoshop Fail
It looks like she took a crash course in Photoshop and failed. But you can't help feeling sorry for her. She just wants to fit in with what society deems the "perfect body." She was probably really excited to post this photo, and only moments later, she's called out. We hope she deleted that post quickly because the comment section would probably blow up.
But, at least she learned a valuable lesson here; never post anything online until you have checked it thoroughly, especially when you have Photoshopped it! She is not the first to do it, and she won't be the last.
Family Photo Gone Wrong
There is nothing better than a family vacation by the beach. Something about the fresh air and warm sun bring everyone together. So they decided to take a cute family photo while they were all standing in the waves. Unfortunately, what transpired didn't go as planned. Dad's falling off the surfboard, and the two youngest kids look like they are fighting. However, just because it didn't work out, it doesn't mean it's not a good photo.
We are sure they pull this beauty out whenever they have company; it makes for a good story. And the view is sensational; the family is not the only thing that catches your eye. Just look at that sensational horizon!
Super Creepy
Ok, it looks like this photo was plucked straight out of a horror movie. The bunny itself is super creepy, but when you zoom in and see the evil face peeping through the mouth, it gives you shivers. You just want to reach in and grab those innocent children and run as fast as possible. This is enough to develop a fear of bunnies for the rest of your life!
This family is scarred for life, and we are sure they will never take their kids to a shopping mall, Easter Bunny or Santa ever again! Someone should fire that man!
Who Raised You?
We're not sure if this guy was caught off-guard or if he intentionally decided to photobomb in the worst way ever! His friend is completely unaware of what's going on behind him. The smile on his face tells us that he is not shocked or embarrassed by what he is doing, so it looks like it was intentional. Who said that men couldn't multitask?
There are probably worse things teenage boys could do, so if this is a crazy day out, we think it's not that bad. At least they are outdoors and not glued to their phones.
The Worst Driver Ever!
Okay, if you still haven't gotten the point of this pic, don't worry; you're not the only one. Take a look at her dashboard; you will see that she is driving 40mph while reading the letter and taking a picture! We are glad they are revoking her license; she is a danger to everyone on the road. And who did she plan on sending that photo to? Surely she didn't want to brag about being a bad driver?
We really hope that she will take driving more seriously if she manages to pass the theory and practical tests. Anything can happen, and looking away for even a split second can change your life forever.
Inappropriate Outfit for a Children's Event
Now, we know that mistakes can happen, and this lady might be blissfully unaware that her pants are see-through. However, when you are getting dressed, you never wear dark underwear with light clothing, not to mention skin-tight pants, to a children's event. Especially when you have to bend over all the time, it's highly inappropriate, and this lady should know better.
We know that leggings are comfortable, but wear dark ones if you are going out into the sun! No child should have to witness something like that at such a young age.
The Itsy Bitsy Spider
These two girls captured the most hilarious selfies one night while having a sleepover. The girl on the left is one who reacted the best to an unwelcomed guest who wanted to partake in the festivities. They innocently minded their own business, and this spider wonders over the bed towards them! Isn't it funny how something so small and scare something so big!
We commend the girl holding the camera, who doesn't seem to be phased by the surprise visitor and keeps her cool while her friend is freaking out next to her.
The Dickhead in the Office
If you work for a company that cares about its employees, you will likely have sturdy desk chairs that are good for your posture and support your back. But what this office manager didn't see on the brochure when ordering the chairs is what they look like from the side. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, that chair looks like a penis! We wonder how it took for anyone to realize this design faux pas?
And thank you to whoever took this epic pic; you made our day! It would be hard to get any work done in this office space; we would be taking photos of this chair all day.
Well Hung
There's nothing like letting off some steam with a bunch of friends on a Friday night. This is exactly what this group of friends was doing when they decided a photo was in order. After all, these are the memories you will cherish forever. However, sometimes things never go as planned, and this group got more than they bargained for when they snapped the shot.
Your eyes immediately zoom in on what looks like a penis between the blond guy's leg, but at a second glance, you will see it's actually one of the girl's feet. Talk about being in the wrong place, at the wrong time.
Watch Out for That Reflection Honey
This girl wanted to take a selfie in her Lions shirt with her new sunglasses, but she didn't realize that you could see her browser in the reflection of her glasses. While every girl should have a vibrator, they should not advertise it to the world, especially one that big! We know that she probably didn't realize you could see it in her pic; she should have double-checked before posting.
Now everyone knows that it takes a lot to please her, and some guys are probably too afraid to ask her out due to her high expectations. Hopefully, she has learned her lesson!
Get Your Minds Out of the Gutter!
Here we have a young couple innocently playing a game of beer pong. Looks fun, right? Well, many people have their minds in the gutter and notice that their shadows tell a different story. If someone cropped the couple out of the photo, you would see something entirely different happening with their shadows. It looks like they are enjoying an intimate moment together, often referred to as doggy style!
We are sure that this picture caused a lot of laughs among the group of friends and is a moment they will cherish forever. Let's just hope they don't show it to their future children or grandchildren!
Look at My Fancy New Wine Glasses
This guy really wanted to show off the new wine glasses he bought and didn't realize that his girlfriend was in the background with her G-String up to her belly button. But he was soon made aware by the wonderful people on Facebook who were eager to point it out. Surely he had to have seen her standing there? It's pretty hard to miss, right?
We wonder how she felt about the situation. Did she laugh it off, or was she angry? I'd expect him to take it down if it were me, but not everybody is the same, and she might like the attention.
Can You Find Waldo?
If you didn't play, Where's Waldo when you were a kid; you sure missed out. The iconic game would keep the kids busy forever, and the parents could sit back and relax. So, here we have two friends enjoying an evening out and taking a photo, when low and behold, you see Waldo seated in the background minding his own business. Do the patrons of this establishment not realize they are dining with a legend?
No one seems to notice or care, but we couldn't; miss him; he sticks out like a saw thumb! So, next time you are in a crowded restaurant, take a look around. You never know who could be occupying the table next to you.
Don't Brag About Your Popularity
This lady wanted to show off how popular she was on Facebook but didn't realize she forgot to clear her search bar, and there was a rather embarrassing question in there! And unluckily for her, the trolls couldn't resist pointing her misfortune out. It turns out she was looking for an answer to "a growth in your vagina" on Facebook, which isn't where I would search for such a serious question.
What is the lesson here? Don't brag about how popular you are; it makes people dislike you. Instead, be humble and try to do a good deed every day.
Is That Guy Doing What I Think He's Doing?
Wow! these two ladies never thought they would record a crime-in-progress when they decided to take an innocent selfie at a wedding. But, unfortunately, while they were snapping away, some creepy old uncle was doing some snapping himself. So he was caught trying to take photos of that lady's underwear! How did no one else see this? There are tons of people there, and this uncle is just walking around sticking his camera under women's dresses, What a creep!
I sincerely hope these ladies turned this photo into the police and reported this man. Because if he could do this with all those people around, what could he do when no one was looking?
Is Shrek Selling a Shotgun?
Selling your stuff on eBay or Facebook is straightforward. All you have to do is take some decent pics of your merchandise and be sure not to overcharge. But this guy did not get the memo about decent pics. He decided it would be a good idea to include his feet in his photo, and it looks like he hasn't cut his toenails in 40 years! Gross!
I would be highly freaked out if anyone actually bought this gun. Who would want to go over to this guy's house? This ad screams serial killer with a gun!
It's Just a Normal Day at the Old Age Home/Nudist Colony
Ok, we are seriously confused here. Does Grandma really live in a nudist colony, and do her grandchildren think this is normal because they do not seem phased by the naked people walking past at all! Maybe we have this all wrong, and they are at a hotel where people can walk around naked, but we doubt it. So perhaps, the only conclusion here is that Granny is a freak, and her family has accepted her as she is.
But she looks like such a sweet old lady; there must be another explanation. Maybe, they are blissfully unaware that there are a group of naked people behind them? Maybe those naked people didn't think they would be seen? Who knows? But this did make our day!
How Could She Not See the Naked Man in the Background?
This lady just wanted to post about her skin condition that spelled "Holly" on her arm, but what she didn't realize was that she forgot about the naked man sitting right beside her. So how could she not notice that he was in the photograph? Did her obsession with her skin cloud everything else happening at that moment? Or did she intentionally post this picture, knowing there was a naked man in the background?
Whatever the reason, someone else noticed right away and shared their concern, "Who's the naked man beside u lol." Which leads us to believe that this is not her boyfriend. Maybe, he is a new love interest or just a booty call.
Oblivious to What's Happening Behind Him
It looks like this guy is in a restaurant or something, and they have just gotten up to leave, but not before taking a photo to capture this memory. However, they were shocked to see a man roughhousing with his baby in the background. It actually looks like the man is about to throw the baby to the ten-yard line! How did that not draw their attention? Surely the baby had to have screamed?
We know that the father is just being playful, and he wasn't really about to throw his baby, but it does make for a good photo where people can let their imaginations run wild.
No Shame
This is like the pic we saw on our list of the guy trying to sell the gun with those fugly toenails. But this dude has no shame; he doesn't care that his crack pipe is in the shot. But who would buy a children's movie from a crack addict? So next time, maybe don't advertise that you are on hard drugs. It will scare all your customers away.
If someone actually bought these DVDs, they need to get their head examined or interviewed by child services. But I'm sure the seller received lots of requests for crack.
Just Your Average Field Trip
Here you can see a mom and her daughter enjoying their time on a historical field trip and decided to take a photo to capture the moment. But what is happening in the background? Are those her other children up to no good? Does she not realize that the kids are trying to stuff a baby into a canon? We know that boys will be boys, but this is taking it one step too far!
Hopefully, someone realized what was going on and put a stop to it before anyone got hurt. But what if those boys actually managed to shove the baby into the canon?
What a Cute Pic... Oh No Wait!
This little girl enjoyed a lovely brunch with her parents, and they decided to take a photo. After all, she looks adorable! However, they didn't notice the man in the background's massive crack was ruining the shot! So now their beautiful memory is ruined. It's such a waste of a gorgeous photo, and we wonder how long it took them to realize what was wrong with their picture.
But it makes for a funny story, and we hope that the family sees the humor in this photo. Needless to say, next time, make sure you have a better view before taking a picture.
