The Bronswick Affair

[Pardalis]

It's a funny fake documentary about a conspiracy involving tv sets and people being brainwashed into buying goods compulsively.

It's not available on the internet but if you ever come across it, it's very good.

ETA: here's another hilarious clip, but in French

I remember seeing it in the early 80's on HBO. Some lady was complaining about buying dog food, despite the fact that she doesn't own one.
