I finally remembered...
...what this reminded me of.
This.
Say what you like about the films and TV series being full of mindless violence (I like mindless violence), the thing that made them really worth watching was the satire.
Damn, I can't find a clip of the satirical advert for the thing. That was hilarious. Especially the warning at the end.
The only thing that makes me sad is that somebody seems to have compiled all the satirical bits into an instruction manual for Donald J Lying-sack-of-shit.
