surreality 

1. Happenings that when intersected into one's own sphere of reality, strike oneself as surreal or fantastic.
2. A group's consensus reality as it appears to a non-involved individual or group, especially if profound differences exist between the two parties.

1. Meg's conversation with the Amway representative gave her a view into the surreality of vertical marketing schemes.
2. Upon their first visit to the countryside, many urban-dwelling folk are amazed at the archaic surreality still embodied in rural America.

Surreality 

The opposite of reality.

A world, time, place described by surrealists through paintings, sculpture, writing, et cetera.

My mind is fixated in surreality, time can melt, hallways change length, and there are no words but touch.

Surreality 

The first moment that you meet someone in real life that you've only been speaking to virtually.

Wow, I didn't know you were so three dimensional. This is so surreality!

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."
