I noticed the same thing! It seems like Hulu was really keen on making the first episode all about Hulu, which was annoying and a big red flag for me. Last time I remember they made a "we're back on a new channel" joke it was a bit more subtle and all of 15 seconds long. This new episode just felt like one long eternalized ad.
To be fair the episode was centered around streaming so it makes sense to have some Hulu jokes. Although that might just be an excuse to include more Hulu jokes
There were several Hulu jokes in the Animaniacs reboot too. I wasn’t too put off by them. I guess its trendy these days. Netflix OC Black Mirror is full of meta.
