# Matching Monster Photobombs These Funny Photobombs Feature Monsters Matching Real People By Michael Baxter | Published 2014-01-23 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funny-photobomb References: [thecoolector](http://www.thecoolector.com/matching-monsters/) & [matchingmonsters](http://www.matchingmonsters.com/) A funny photobomb requires talent, skill and timing. In these photobombs though, the main ingredient is good Photoshop skills. These Matching Monster pictures capture [cartoon monsters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsters-by-monsters-now-and-then) interacting with the public. The project allows people to send in pictures of themselves doing whatever they want and they will receive a photo back with a monster acting in much the same way as the original person in the photo was. Seeing a street performer accompanied by his green-skinned counterpart is a fun and inventive way to re-imagine basic photography. These [funny photobombs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crazyface) see monsters of all shapes and sizes doing different tasks related to the scenery. One is seen tanning on the beach, another is getting pulled away by balloons and one is seen just casually waiting for the bus. These monsters aren’t just mimicking their real-world counterparts -- they’re living the same life. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Funny Photobombs:** Opportunity to create funny photobombs using digital manipulation skills. - **Re-imagining Photography:** Inventive ways to incorporate cartoon monsters into real-world photography. - **Living the Same Life:** Monsters depicted as living the same life as their real-world counterparts. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Digital Design:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in using digital manipulation skills to create humorous photobombs. - **Photography:** Opportunities to re-imagine traditional photography by incorporating cartoon monsters. - **Entertainment:** Potential for creating entertaining content featuring monsters living the same life as humans. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Adorable Monster-Inspired Graphic Tees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-monsters.md) - [Mashup Halloween Bath Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monster-mashup.md) - [Interactive Monster Collectibles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smashers-horror-house.md) - [Monster Trading Cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/topps-chrome-labubu.md) - [Fashionable Zombie Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zombaes-critter-chaos.md) - [Collaborative Image Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-monster.md) - [Monstrous Halloween Gummy Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monsters-approved-candies.md) - [3D-Printed Matcha Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/godzilla-matcha-monsters.md) - [Distorted Burger Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ailloween.md)
