This commercial from the beginning made me uneasy, WHY? The pattern of the HULU commercials is that they focus on deteriorating the credibility of the person being human and building up the credibility that they are aliens from outer space. these are bent to the humor of the character presented and can make a sense of safety that frightens and intrugues the audience into watching the HULU on their computer Alec Baldwin on one hand is slapstic and simple dry humor, so it is common for him to talk as if something is funny but its not. on the other hand Denis Leary has a dark sense of humor and is known for his sense of sarcasm that makes it almost humorous that he is talking to us about being an alien.So when he talks like that we are put into a sense of safety that makes us uneasy when he reveals himself, this can either be frightening or exciting to the audience The audience is the kids who watch scifi channel and more thriller series, commonly teenage nerds or the tech counterculture. They enjoy the thrill of being unlike the rest and that is ebbed at when Leary says 'if you get these high tech high strung people addicted to HULU i will suck your brains out last.' Though the tech counterculture is known for being individual, it is also known for being part of a whole. Alec Baldwin's revealing is not as sudden as Leary's. There are a lot of big clues they throw out there. You clearly see the top secret underground base, you see the mindless people on the internet watching hulu (their way of relating us to them, really everyone knows someone like that) and then suddenly you see the brain melting and the tentacles coming out to adjust his tie. HULU's signature, the alien overlord.
your parents were right, your teachers were right, even the creepy scoutmaster with the tight brown shorts was right, tv is slowly rotting your brain and turning it into a slimy gooey mushy blob of pudding and theres nothing you can do about it. See i told you all of that and youre still watching
you know they say TV will rot your brain, ha thats absurd.TV only softens the brain, like a ripe banana, to take it all the way, we created hulu
