Posed and perfect photos are always nice but it is the photos that go awry that can make you double over in laughter. These people and animals thought they were going to take a normal photo but they were in for a surprise. The moment the camera clicked, they were met with the completely unexpected. There are flying objects, water balloons, trickster friends and plenty of falls that are captured perfectly. They do not know what is about to happen but we sure do.

Check out these 65 unexpected photos that will make you laugh and happy you are not them.

1. Super Proud

All he wanted was a picture to show his pride, but he was a second too late. That skier is about to have a mouthful of water. This should be a thumbs down instead of a thumbs up.

2. Tidal Wave

A tidal wave broke a river’s barrier in the Zhejiang province and these people are on the move. That motorcycle needs some speed to outrun that wave of water. That is one wet ride!

3. Finish Line Smackdown

She ran an entire marathon, only to be smacked in the face a step away from the finish line. That man owes her one big apology because he did not need a high five that bad. Hopefully she crossed the finish line before he did.

4. Dessert Fail

She was so excited about her cheesecake that she wanted to take a picture with it, this was her mistake. In the midst of taking the picture, her cheesecake came tumbling off her plate. Her face expresses everything she is feeling in this moment, completely shock.

5. An Exit To Remember

They wanted an exit to remember, so their wedding guests were given sparklers to light their way. If only the groom knew he would fall, he might not have wanted all his guests around to watch him. Let’s just hope he did not take the bride down with him.

6. Daring Escape

This fish had a plan, wait until he is distracted and then jump back into the water. He thought he caught a fish but this tricky fish refuses to stay caught. He will always have a picture of the fish that could have been.

7. Catapult

If they were wondering if the catapult still works, it surely does. She is completely flying in the air and we all know that she is going to have one hard landing. It is all fun and games until your friend flies off the catapult.

8. New Hat, New Me

No, that is not a new fashion trend it is actually a water balloon popping right on his head. He is bracing for it and the picture was taken at the best moment of impact. A second of the picture was taken, he was drenched.

9. Future Boxer

He might be small but he packs a punch. The adult thought it would be cute and funny to play boxing with the child, but this child is not playing around.

10. Instant Regret

The man on the bottom thought he would try playing rugby for the first time. This was the exact moment he regretted trying a new sport. It was instant regret.

11. Waterproof Camera

Thankfully he had a waterproof camera to take this picture because a moment afterward the entire wave crashed right on down. He is smiling for the picture but that smile could not have lasted long. He is willing to do about anything for a good photograph.

12. Survival of the Fittest

They say it’s survival of the fittest and this bird is showing he is fitter than the squirrel. The poor squirrel does not even know what is about to happen. Rest easy squirrel, you have been remembered through this photo.

13. Snowball Fight

When having a snowball fight with a four year old, you are supposed to be a bit more gentle than this. This four year old nephew was smacked down by a massive snowball aimed right at his face. Poor little guy does not know what is about to hit him.

14. Nose Picking

He could not reach for the ball, so, apparently, he decided to aim for the nose. Picking another players nose has to be considered a foul, right?

15. Breakdancing on Water

He is about to find out the hard way that he cannot breakdance on top of the water. It looks like he has the moves right now, but a second later he was completely submerged into the water. Do you think the friends are going to laugh or help him out of the water?

16. What Lies Beneath

This is a once in a lifetime photograph. This whale is so much larger than the boat, it could do anything it wanted to the boat. They all must have been holding their breath to see what was going to happen at any moment.

17. In The Face

He is happy as can be in this moment, but a moment later he had different feelings. He had no idea a snowball, larger than his head, was coming his way. He just wanted to take a fun picture with his friend.

18. It’s All Fun and Games

It is all fun and games until a dog bites you in the privates. He is not going to be that happy for awhile after this photo was taken. This picture can seen as his happy day on the beach before it all went awry.

19. Behind You!

When an owl sneaks up behind you, there is almost nothing you can do. This child knows that by experience. The owl is coming at him from behind with a plan of attack, all the while the child is just trying to have a nice day outside.

20. Cat Trick

Cats are known for being tricky, but usually they do not play tricks on their own food. This cat is making his own world go topsy turvy by jumping onto his cat post. It is hard to even see what is going right side up or upside down in this picture.

21. It’s On

Did the alligator successfully grab lunch or did the piranha fight back and chew his way out? The eyes on that piranha show that he has a plan for this alligator. Either way it turned into a bloody disaster the moment after this picture was taken.

22. Eye on the Puck

Goalies are always told to do whatever they can from letting the puck into the goal. This goalie never let his eyes leave the puck for a second, even when it was coming straight to his face. Any body part must be used to keep the goal safe, even the face.

23. In One Second

All the guys in this photo know that the woman is about to be drenched by the drink, but she is completely unaware. This was the last second before her hair and top were soaked that night. The different reactions by each guy is amazing.

24. Head Ball

Both of these men were trying to catch the ball and both did not. The guy on the ground was a lot closer than the man that is grabbing the other’s face. That is a person’s head, not the football.

25. Popping Water Balloon

Yes, this is actually the perfect moment before the water balloon broke open. The water balloon almost looks supernatural in the photograph. She is about to be soaked with how much water he was putting into the balloon.

26. Camera Shy

This Kazakhstan Eagle does not wanted to be filmed and he is letting the cameraman know it. The eagle is in full attack mode. Hopefully the individual who took this photograph figured out a way to help this man before the eagle hurt him too bad.

27. My Cupcake

She thought this cupcake was social media worthy but her dog had other plans. The dog wanted the cupcake all for himself and grabbed it at the best moment, when the camera went click. At least she was able to get a photograph of the cupcake before it was destroyed.

28. So Close

This is an A for effort but that hot dog is not going to make it in her mouth. It is not explained why she is trying to catch this hot dog. So, please, make up your own hilarious back story for this moment.

29. Anticipation

The man who got soaked in this picture explains, “Another student in my Digital Art class captured a photo 0.001 seconds before 2 gallons of water dumped on my head from a popped balloon.”

30. Wheelie

It is hard to do a wheelie when you lose your front wheel. This motorcyclist is gonna have to learn how to drive only with his back wheel if he wants to escape the inevitable harsh landing. Bye, bye front wheel.

31. Crash Landing

Every professional cyclist knows that falls will come but knowing it and experiencing it are two different things. Peter Stetina, in this photo, has already realized he is about to hit the ground hard and can do nothing except wait. This teaches every future cyclist that even professionals fall.

32. Beginning of a Rivalry

Loki and Thor’s rivalry is legendary and with a simple toss of this hammer another rivalry has begun. It might not have been Thor’s hammer but it still is large and heavy enough to do some damage to the face. I don’t even want to know the mayhem that went down after this photo.

33. Unexpected Waterfall

Her drink has turned into a waterfall onto the little boy’s face. She is the only one that knows what is happening in this photo and knows it is not good. Thankfully, the little boy’s eyes and mouth are already shut so the drink will not go into either.

34. Birthday Hair

Her co-workers just wanted to help her celebrate her birthday, but with that many candles they lit her hair on fire. Burnt hair was probably not the look she was going for on her special day. She should have kept that birthday cake on the table.

35. Flying Sandal

He did not duck quick enough and had a sandal hit him right in the face. The women moved out quick enough and he was the last man standing. Onlookers are already laughing at the situation, but will he be laughing?

36. Wedding Dress Blues

Out of all the people at the wedding reception to have drinks poured on them, it just had to be the bride. This photo captured the very last time her wedding dress would ever be perfectly white. She was too busy dancing her night away to notice the crashing of drinks right next to her.

37. Tradition

The winning team always dumps their cooler on their coach, but these players should have at least waited until he took off his headphones. The Powerade has landed on his shoulders, but in this last moment, he is still unaware that he is about to be wet and sticky.

38. Strike a Pose

His drink might be spilling but that is not going to ruin this photo. This girl knows how to strike a pose and she even used a special “filter” of soda for the picture.

39. Wet and Wild

One moment later, this man started to run because he knew she was not going to be happy about getting wet. She is looking up, as if the photographer said her name right before taking the photo. This was definitely a planned photo/water attack.

40. We Can Fly

The child seems to be screaming in fear and fun. Yet, the dad is the one with the face full of worry. The child is still young enough to see this as only fun but the dad knows they are about to hit the ground hard.

41. Don’t Look Down

Putting Mentos in a soda bottle is always a fun experiment for children but the adults forgot to give them the only rule: do not look straight down at the soda. The experiment worked all right and these kids are going to be soaked with diet cola as proof.

42. Escape Plan

This toy car within a car is looking for an escape route and it has almost succeeded. That toy car is one strong bump from falling out and causing an accident with the car behind it. They must be driving slow to keep that car inside.

43. Ouch!

This is how you immediately end a fun game of volleyball. The ball hitting your grandma in the face is a straight game killer. These players are going to think twice before playing with their grandma nearby again.

44. Muddy Landing

He was covered in mud a second after this photo was taken. Usually, this would be a bad event but children love getting dirty, so he probably had an even bigger smile right after. It was only the parents that felt this was disastrous.

45. Walking on Water

What a cool picture to have of yourself almost walking on water, too bad he went straight into water right after. He is trying his very best to stay upright but gravity always wins in this game.

46. Cats and Lasers

She might not see the laser light but that cat is staring right at it. She is in for a big surprise when the cat jumps right on her in a second. Hopefully she likes practical jokes because she is about to be a part of one.

47. Cheers

That must have been a very strong cheers to break an entire mug. They were celebrating hard and it shows. This calls for a clean up and another round of beer.

48. Watch the Drain

The odds that her bike tire would fit exactly within the grate of the drain had to be small but it happened. That landing is going to hurt in a few seconds, but in this moment, she can pretend she is just flying.

49. Tracking a Lost Phone

She lost her phone and was able to figure out the very exact moment she lost it. She might have photographic evidence of when and where she lost it but that cannot bring her phone back. This was the last moment she has of her old phone.

50. Broken Trophy

What is the fun in winning a trophy if the trophy is broken? He was just trying to celebrate his win but was conked right on the head with his own win. The man in the back is watching it happen but cannot do anything to help, it is already broken.

51. Surprise!

This bird had to be a shock when she took this picture. The bird came out of nowhere and swooped as much ice cream as it could. The eyes on that bird show that he knew what he was doing with his sneak attack.

52. Instant Pain

He has already started to feel a bit of the pain from the football in this picture but he has not fully grasped the situation yet. That is the face of a man about to double over in pain. Happy tailgating!

53. Falling Tower

The tower is going down and they cannot stop it. What was supposed to be beach fun is about to turn into a sandy fall. Let’s just hope none of three fell onto the innocent bystander, their dog.

54. Pop the Champagne

Popping open champagne is always a treat when family and friends gather together. This man is the only person that is not excited for the champagne because that cork is hitting him straight in the face. The party has officially started after a cork injury.

55. Circle of Life

Why did the chicken cross the road? This picture is the perfect set up for the classic joke because this chicken is about to cross that road extremely fast to escape the tiger. Good luck, little chicken, good luck.

56. Back it Up

This picture is super beautiful and the woman must be thinking the same but she needs to back it up before she becomes part of the scenery. One should admire giant crashing waves from afar.

57. Dedication and Focus

This doggie had dedication and focus while playing frisbee. Yet, it was this focus and dedication that turned against him when he focused too long on the frisbee and not his surroundings. We refuse to blame the dog for this fall and are going to assume it was a horrible throw because doggies can do no wrong.

58. The Kids are Bored

The look of fear on his face should be enough to make anyone laugh but those two little girls seem completely bored of the situation. They want more action than just him falling backwards into water. What does it take to entertain kids these days?

59. Floor is Lava

A volcano erupted right when this photo was being taken. The floor being lava is usually just a game but it is about to be reality for these tourists if they don’t start moving away quickly. What an awesome picture!

60. Christmas Morning

Everyone loves to play with their new toys and gadgets on Christmas morning. Their dad was given a new a camera lens and their son was given a new Nerf gun. This photo was taken right before the son shot at the camera and broke the new lens. Merry Christmas!

61. Broken Wheel

His brain has figured out what is happening but it is already too late to do anything about it. All he can do is hope for the best before he crashes without a front wheel. His face says everything he needs to say without actually saying it.

62. Robin’s on Fire

This man is probably wishing he was actually Robin at that moment. Robin always has gadgets to help him in a moment of crisis, but this fake Robin does not. A costume party in the woods sounded like a great idea until Robin fell in the fire pit.

63. Underage Driving

If the driver is scared, the passengers should be really scared. These kids hit a bump on their quad and their ride quickly went sideways. These three cannot hide any feelings and their faces are clearly showing what they are feeling.

64. Wedding Party on Water

In this moment of panic hopefully there was one person that knew they should save the bride. The bride should be saved at all costs but it does not look like it is going to go that way. This wedding party knows how to bring the house down, or at least the dock down.

65. Lucky Day?

Four leaf clovers are supposed to be lucky, so she wanted to take photographic evidence of her new found luck. Yet, as we can see in the picture, her luck is not going to stay good for one second longer. Maybe, she has found the only unlucky four leaf clover.
