Mockumentaries, e.g. Spinal Tap. It seems like everybody loves these movies yet they give me migraines. The brain pain these movies cause me is so strong, I hesitate to even bring them up. Even thinking of them makes me wince. I didn't know "painfully unfunny" was a literal sensation until I saw Best in Show, and all subsequent mockumenaries I've seen have been just as bad if not worse. I now refuse to watch another for the rest of my life.
Netflix's episode on dog shows for their "7 days out" documentary series was strangly familiar after having recently watched Best in Show again. There were eery similarities. I prefer Guest's rendition but you could watch them side by side..

The movie "Best in show" certainly plays on that drama in a hilarious way.
maybe Best In Show, that dog documentary, is a better example.
