10 Classic Scenes Photobombed by 'In the Way Guy'

When Reddit user SpnkyHappy proposed to his girlfriend at Walt Disney World, he wanted a photograph to commemorate his engagement. Instead, he unknowingly birthed a new meme: "In the Way Guy."

The original photograph features a man awkwardly trying to get out of SpnkyHappy's proposal photograph, and failing miserably.

After first appearing on /r/funny, the photo inspired the creation of the subreddit /r/intheway, where Redditors Photoshop the photobomber's figure onto famous scenes from pop culture, movies, and classic pieces of artwork. We've culled a few of the best here.

(P.S. If you're worried that SpnkyHappy never got a good photo of his proposal, there's a better shot here -- sans In the Way Guy.)
