The How I Met Your Mother Blog

Consumerist reports that in a rerun of a 2007 episode of HIMYM you see the poster above for Zookeeper (a 2011 movie). Does Robin receive screeners far in advance? Is this another easter egg? No, in the original airing there was nothing behind her:

Hey guys, Steve had a comment that intrigued me greatly. He talked about this week’s episode, Natural History, being an “act break” for the show. It was one of those forehead-slapping moments and I knew Steve was onto something.

Chat here, I’ll be back. Hopefully I’ll like it and I won’t bum you guys out this week. Season Finale people!

This episode has a lot of build up. It was hinted we’d see something like this as far back as the end of last season. Did all that build-up payoff? Did the Wedding Bride deliver?

No.
