How I Met Your Mother Rerun Includes Zookeeper Ad

If you thought that sitcom rerun advertising was exclusive to commercials, you’re apparently wrong. Sadly (or excitingly, depending on your views on time-travel marketing), networks have found a way to generate ad revenue for new films and products in old episodes of your favorite television series by straight-up superimposing those products into a scene. For evidence, look no further than a recent rerun of a 2007 episode of How I Met Your Mother that allegedly (and eerily) advertised this weekend’s Kevin James vehicle Zookeeper .

The same situation applies to Jennifer Aniston, who is forced to answer questions about Leprechaun , Picture Perfect , and Camp Cucamonga , if we’re lucky. Here are the first previews of her conversation with Lipton, which include special insight into The Break-Up and her NBC television series about pals.
