About

And The Tiger Poster is a line taken from Zoobooks commercials, which aired from the 1990s to the early 2000s. The "Tiger Poster" was a big selling point at the end of these commercials, which was claimed to be part of a special TV offer that you had to call in to get. By the time most kids during those years were old enough to buy Zoobooks for themselves, the product was no longer offered, with the Tiger Poster considered a lost relic. The commercial itself has been used as a form of a copypasta in some spaces online, beginning in the early 2010s.

Origin

Though the Zoobooks commercials were played throughout the 1990s to the early 2000s, an ad uploaded to YouTube^[1] by the channel 90's Video Girl claims that one of the first Zoobooks ads is from 1995. The video shows an older Zoobooks design and the Tiger Poster at the end, with different wording than the meme, and was uploaded on April 4th, 2021 (shown below).

The original Zoobooks ad, featuring the entire text that became the copypasta, was uploaded to YouTube on April 29th, 2012, by the YouTube channel BravaCentauri,^[2] earning 1.1 million views in 10 years (shown below).

Spread

When '90s kids and those born in the early 2000s grew up, the Tiger Poster was still a highly desired item, which is reflected in multiple tweets and memes about it from the early-to-mid-2010s. One such example of an early person online to care about and reference the Tiger Poster is YouTube animator SaberSpark, who posted on September 1st, 2015, with a simple tweet^[3] asking if people still remember the Tiger Poster, earning a mere 10 likes in seven years (shown below).

On May 5th, 2019, Twitter user @MEdwardsVA tweeted^[4] that after 17 years he is still waiting for his Tiger Poster, earning 53 likes in three years (shown below).

In 2020, Twitter user SaberSpark rallied interest in the Tiger Poster with his own story of trying to get one for himself by subscribing to Zoobooks for a year and speaking to multiple customer service reps. He then started creating memes^[5] about the Tiger Poster, as seen on March 3rd, 2020, in which he used a Bernie Sanders meme to once again ask for Tiger Posters, earning 3,100 likes in two years (shown below).
