Unintentional comedy
Sep. 15th, 2008 10:11 pmSo, I've been enjoying the wonder that is Hulu recently. It lets me get my Daily Show fix without having to get a better cable package. Got to see all of Studio 60 w/o tying up my Netflix queue (or dropping the money for the DVD set). All around good things.
For those who aren't familiar, Hulu offers some movies and TV series for free viewing, you just have to watch a single commercial during what would normally be the TV commericial break. Not a bad tradeoff.
Some TV series though, they only offer clips, not full episodes, so instead of watching a commercial, a banner pops up at the bottom of the screen during part of the clip. Normally, fairly ignorable.
Not so this time.
I was poking around the SNL page on Hulu to watch the Tina Fey-Sarah Palin/Amy Poehler-Hillary Clinton clip (and if you haven't watched it you totally should cause man, does Fey have Palin down pat). After watching it, I noted that Dick in a Box is still one of their most popular vids, and I clicked to rewatch it.
Which was when this comedy gem mix of content and advertising occurred:

Cause a Dick in a Box is one way that always works.
