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."

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
