Harry Potter Got Straight Photobombed

As we all know, FAILblog is the best. Sometimes I wish that my job was just to sit around reading FAILblog all day. So, I guess sometimes I wish that my job was being a secretary. (I need those ZINGS on my desk by five.) But now there is a new blog that is capturing my heart. It is called thisisphotobomb. Have you seen it? It's great. I will give you an example:

Classic photobomb. It's basically giving someone bunny ears (or ears'ing them, as we say in the business) taken to its most extreme (and logical) conclusion. Get those people! Bomb them!

So I was happy to see that the latest round of posters for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince features a ton of magical photobombing:

Draco must know a dude at the Glamour Shots where Harry gets his photo taken who's just like "totally, come photobomb him. Kid is so full of himself."

Admittedly, I don't even know who is photobombing whom in this one. They both look like they have been punked.

Gross. Pervertbomb.

But Ron, as usual, is my favorite. By far.

YOU GOT WEREWOLVE'D.

LOL. That werewolf went home and wrote in his diary, "Dear diary, I cannot wait until he gets that roll of film developed."

Don't even worry about it, you guys. I already submitted them.

I'm sure he knows who Snape and Dumbledore are, I think he's saying he wasn't sure who was the photobomb-er and the photobomb-ee.

"Relax, 'technojeremy'" is the new "Have fun at dinner."

Yeah. That isn't like a pants-peeing variation, Gabe. It's the EXACT same joke.

And my mom is still offended by it.

i had to read both posts about five times to even find the repeat.. what have you got like a google alert for "gabe zing secretary" or something?

and it's one tiny joke (that gabe actually builds upon from the last post) in a completely different article..

i'm not sure you came across looking as clever and impressive as perhaps you wanted to..

I think Gabe has a catalog or spreadsheet in where he cross references his tags and the jokes associated with said joke.

Oh, it's joke about the FAIL blog, let me just access the idea machine... doodoodoo... ah yes, secretary and zings. Oh that's a classic, I'll just go ahead and control + c and then control + v. Perfect aaaaaaand print!

Pee-pee.

Throw in a "the best"/"the worst" and open it with a "you guys" and you're all set.

Wowzas. Maybe these commenters are all secretaries. The type of secretaries that prefer to be called assistants, thank-you very much. Maybe the excel ZINGsheet is a good idea to avoid this kind of backlash in the future? Probably one of these commenters has one already created for her boss.

I also thought it was funny. Both times.

You need a "girlfriend" or "boyfriend" in there. As in "Your girlfriend is the worst, you guys." Now you've got all the bases covered.

BTW, thisisphotobomb is the best, you guys.

"Your girlfriend is the best (she is NOT the best), you guys." NOW you've covered all the bases.

I wouldn't say that. I actually enjoy the repeat jokes. I didn't mean it as an insult, he has it to a science. I approve of pie charts.

Could someone please photoshop Robert Pattinson in one of these photos and post it on a Harry Potter message board so we can laugh at all the chaos that would ensue?
