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.
