farceumentary

Film genre that explores a fictional scenario that, while preposterous, is still very much a potential reality.

Examples include Idiocrocy, Ready Player One & Don't Look up.

"I've been saying for years that Idiocrocy is really more of a farceumentary than a comedy".

fakeumentary

A video or film that purports information using a method that people in general believe to be in a format that provides factual information.

We watched a program on television about a historical event and found that the information was in error or not true. What a fakeumentary.
