Personally as soon as I see an ad I just mute the sound and switch to another tab. The helpful "Your program will resume in N seconds" message tells me how long I have to wait, and I can always skip back if I do happen to miss a few seconds of the actual program.

I suppose some people watch hulu while not sitting with the keyboard and mouse, though, so the ads may reach them.
