We all love taking selfies, checking ourselves out, and getting all that good, good social media love. Sometimes though, selfies end up being a little off kilter, surprisingly strange, or unexpectedly evocative. Most of the time when selfies don’t turn out right they wither away in the photo archives or get deleted. Somehow though, some of the craziest, funniest, and most shocking selfie fails end up in the public eye. Maybe they didn’t notice the background when they posted? Prepare yourself as we take a look at some of the most entertaining and engaging viral selfie fails by people who forgot to check the background. And remember, when you’re taking that new profile pic, be sure to look behind you!

Boxer Butt Bomb!

She just wanted to get a cute photo with her friend and the dog, a quick show off selfie to affirm to her followers she is indeed living her best life with her bestie and man’s best friend at her side. Before snapping that pic, she should have definitely checked on her dog’s pose, bcause this particular pupper wasn’t having any of it. While these girls show off their sunny smiles, this boxer shows off his full moon.

Number One In What!?

The relationship between toilets and technology is a strange thing. The most common place to check social media is while using the bathroom so it’s safe to bet more than a few of those bathroom mirror selfies are taken just before doing a number one or two–perhaps a few of them during as well! At least this poor woman’s was. It’s an excellent time saver, especially if you’re looking particularly good on the potty, but just don’t forget to check your mirrors!

Photo Bombed In The Worst Way

We’ve all gotten bored in traffic and started taking selfies right? Well, it’s probably not such a good idea to take a selfie right after your driver cuts someone off, or merges into their lane without signaling, or whatever happened to the guy in the background of this photo. Maybe nothing happened, maybe he’s just sick of the selfies in general and goes around trying to ruin as many as possible. The hero we need

Think He Noticed Her Missing Belt Loop?

What do you think the man in the mirror is looking for back there? Maybe she missed a belt loop? Or sat in something perhaps? Maybe she just asked him if her new glasses made her butt look big.

MA! Help Me Take A Selfie!

Think this guy has spent all of his time building his muscles so he hasn’t been able to make any friends besides his mom? At least she’s supportive though right? She takes his gym pose selfies and looks so proud of him while she snaps them. Maybe they could have taken another if he’d checked the photo before posting or maybe he wanted his mom in the shot. Think she counts his reps and spots him on the bench as well?

The Family That Selfies Together, Stays Together

Even dads like to get in on the selfie fun! And this dad seems like he would be a lot of fun to selfie with, even if you’re not expecting it.

Blame It On The Boyfriend

The attention seeking selfie is the worst kind of selfie and we all know at least one attention seeking selfie taker. Case in point, this poor girl who wants her followers to know she has a boyfriend so badly that she simply invented one. In the very least, he seems like a sweet guy who is very much in love with her, taking pictures as she’s getting out of the shower and all.

Lil’ Brother Bathroom Photo Bomb

While these girls are breaking the Internet, it looks like little brother back there is breaking the toilet. This impromptu bathroom photo op is yet another great reminder to check your backgrounds before snapping photos.

At Least He’s Wearing His Dressy Underwear

No matter how dressed up everyone else is, Dad’s rocking that same old jean jacket, or in this dad’s case, black and white checkered underwear. Heck, the checkerboard style whitey tighties are so iconic it looks like his son took some style tips from dear old dad with his suit vest. You know Dad’s proud!
