There was (IMO) a great show called "Better off Ted". It had evil corporate theme and the mid-show always had a small commercial from the show's company that were hilarious. Things like "here at veridian dynamics were a family. Which is why we make our employees work nights, weekends, and holidays, because that's when families should be together"

I absolutely love Better off Ted, but it doesn't surprise me that it was a flop. I feel like the level of satire went way over most people's heads.

Shame though because it was a hilarious show.
