Those "Evil Plot" Hulu Ads, Now Starring Eliza Dushku

An obvious truth the ad industry never seems to fully grasp: if all ads were this entertaining, viewers wouldn’t fast forward. In fact, they might watch twice.

Case in point: the latest in Hulu’s “alien evil plot” series, this time with Eliza Dushku, star of Fox Network’s Dollhouse. In leather! (Enjoy her strut across the set as she hands off a crossbow and strips down to her tank top.)

Better yet, How I Met Your Mother’s Neil Patrick Harris (”Barney”). or Man vs. Wild’s Bear Grylls. or Chuck’s Yvonne Strahovski (”Sarah”). and Adam Baldwin (”Major John”) or L&O SVU’s Christopher Meloni (”Elliot”). or Late Late Show host Craig Ferguson.

In any event, I rest my case:
