Deep cutting humorous nihilistic take on nihilistic cultural phenomena

saw it at anthology film archives, where one of the actors spoke, who is now with or was with the jon stewart team.
though dark in some ways at heart, the initial humor beguiles a profound take on contemporary pop culture, alienation and fame. was ahead of its time in that it took the "reality"show concept to an absurd extreme, before the craze took off to occupy so much of people's time anti-brechtian reality show hosts address the audience providing narrative continuity, while the distressingly funny script and acting make one laugh despite the widespread malaise that is addressed overall can be seen on a multitude of levels, as surface comedy or striking commentary
