I am trying to watch The Daily Show online and I am getting these weird, weird, weird Korean ads on top and to the right, consisting of an overweight belly button bouncing up and down on top of some tight jeans.

It says something about A4 size, which as far as I know is the size of paper used on photocopiers.

I need dramamine.

This is what Koreans call "advertising?"

From now on, I'm downloading The Daily Show if I've got to put up with this nauseating nonsense.

It's a weight loss ad. I don't know about your computer, but I can hold down the control key and then the + key and it makes the page bigger. Do it enough times, and you can't see the ad anymore, but the video is nearly full screen. Give it a try! I agree that ad is annoying!

I watched The Daily Show last night and didn't see that. Streamed from thedailyshow.com. Have you got a pop up blocker set? Maybe that would help. I usually use Google Chrome to stream programs.

You need to install Firefox and popup blocker. If you are still using internet explorer, then you can't be helped.

Just use the full-screen feature. Problem solved.
