commercial surrealism 

A style of filmmaking that uses odd angles, zooms, pointless video effects, musical numbers, and sudden noises to try to keep an audience's attention, but ends up just drowning whatever information is intended with sheer noise. Common in the 1990s, for instructional videos and commercials. Best exemplified by Bill Nye.

Coined by the RedLetterMedia series "Best of the Worst"
"Ugh, I didn't learn a thing from that science video, all I got from it is a headache. It was too full of commercial surrealism to understand."

Commercial Slut 

Girl that works the commercials hard and often. Usually very good looking.
Make sure you stay on this channel because that one commercial slut I was telling you about comes on often.

commercium 

After pulling out, the splooge at the end of your dick that dries into a thin, glazed-donut-like crust which flakes off like well-cooked salmon.
The morning after I banged my aunt, I caressed my knob and gently flicked her commercium off my shaft.

Commercial conversation 

Having a conversation with someone only during the commercial break of a TV show or sporting event, quickly ending when the program comes back on.
Only having 2 minutes and two seconds per commercial conversation, Danny and June took the entire Super Bowl to decide where to have dinner that weekend.
