This mostly uses appeal to authority. They use Alec Baldwin to talk about using Hulu and how great it is watching tv on Hulu, but he isn't an authority on what watching tv does to your brain. Also, they use black and white a little bit because they give you a choice between watching tv and turning your brain to mush or not watching tv at all. They make it seem like it's not possible to watch tv for a short amount of time. There's also a little bit of slippery slope because they make you think that if you watch tv your brain will definitely turn to mush.

  1. I agree with you. I think that it could be argued that they use composition/division because they show one person laughing while watching Hulu, and they assume/say everyone will be like that when they watch Hulu.

    1. I agree, they're trying to create the ideal situation to appeal to their audience.
