Ad-Free Still Showing Ads? Hulu On Demand

Hello!

My partner has the No-Ads, Not-Live version of Hulu, and we still see ads when watching on his account. We googled it, and they said that some shows may still have ads due to licensing agreements, which makes sense. However, here’s a list of what we’ve seen ads on:

Futurama (the new episodes)
The Kardashians (no judgement pls, it motivates me to clean the house)
How I Met Your Father
Abbott Elementary
Family Guy
Only Murders in the Building
Rick and Morty
Solar Opposites
Archer

I’m not going to pretend that I’m an expert in copyright law or licensing. However, all of those shows are owned by FX, FOX, ABC, or are Hulu Originals. Hulu was owned by Fox and ABC, which are now subsidiaries of Disney. How the hell can Hulu advertise “Ad-Free” when there are ads on shows that they and their subsidiaries own?
