So, apparently, this is a screenshot of an episode of How I Met Your Mother with an ad for Kevin James’s new movie The Zookeeper in the background. Sure. Normal. (Also, a very good way to get me to want to go to a movie! Seeing a blurry prop thing in the background of a sitcom.) The weirdest part, though, is that this is a RERUN. From 2007! TIMECOPS! That is just a very weird thing to do. That being said, I think this is what we should do. Let’s just pool all of our money, sink it into a hit sitcom, wait a few years, and then digitally superimpose some ads into old episodes. I feel like by 2017 we could be rolling in that Coor’s Lite money. (A can of Coor’s Lite will be superimposed on a baby’s face.) (Via TheDailyWhat.)

  1. Luuuuucyyyyy! You got some ‘splenda to do!

  2. It’s just retconning so they can explain that he met our mother while on a date to see The Zookeeper.

  3. I was at a party just this past weekend where cans of beer were superimposed into everybody’s hands. Eerie.

  4. You know I was going to go see The Zookeeper, but after this I’m boycotting it.

  5. You all thought this was a fake brand. Turns out the company were just smart enough to preemptively advertise it on the most popular cartoon in the world 25 years before actually releasing it.

    Clever marketing folk

  6. They should recut the Brady Bunch opening to tell the story of how two single parents and their kids somehow formed a family with the help of eHarmony.

  8. This is laughably bad, but worse is that weird phenomenon where they superimpose/splice/generally necromance dead celebrities into adverts. Like the Steve McQueen Bullitt one for some car. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2OV7Zz4VsM . Yuck.

  9. Marty should’ve listened to Doc Brown Re the consequences of time travel.

  10. Don’t play coy, Gabe. Videogum has been superimposing ads in old comments for months.

  11. i thought this episode of the Honeymooners was a little weird…

  12. i thought there was something off about this episode of the Honeymooners…
