Every now and then Hulu goes commercial free.  Today, Hulu’s comedy channel will be commercial free thanks to a deal with Toyota.  Toyota is promoting its newest Prius.  If you are unaware, Hulu has several different ways to watch programs and movies.  You can do searches for video or use their channels.  These channels make it easier to stumble upon videos based on genre since a search box can only get you so far.

Earlier this month, the entire Hulu site went commercial free with a deal from McDonald’s.  I don’t think they have run this kind of promotion before where a particular genre was getting special treatment.  Perhaps Hulu is showing off what it can do for potential advertisers by only limiting its services to one genre.  Maybe we’ll see other products promoting a particular type of video—maybe some kind of antidepressant promoting dramas?

If you’re interested in that new Toyota Prius, the ad claims 50 miles per gallon.  That’s not too shabby, but maybe Toyota could do something with that design so it’s not so ugly.  The comedy channel will be commercial free for less than 12 more hours.  Go watch some Internet TV.
