I had a similar experience. I was a tourist in New York for a week and watched a bit of TV. It was like an exaggerated parody of itself. It felt positively dystopian. Nowadays I can't even watch swedish TV. I can't stand the ads.

What surprised me was the drug ads. A friend used to stream basketball games live, and when I watched every ad break had an ad for a (prescription?) drug. It felt like something I'd see in a movie/TV show mocking TV ads. A parody, like you said.

  Those are crazy. I think in general what struck me was the sheer volume of heavy handed and often poorly produced ads quite bluntly stating "buy our product or you might DIE!"

    Also: "take our product and you might die"
