if so it's another example of the classic evolution of satirical irony congealing into earnestness through years of overuse cf. every one of coogan's 'saxondale' mannerisms

âWeâve missed you, Tracerâno you fucking havenât. you literally have not missed me. there is a database field that todayâs date has triggered, and you are sending me a mailshot to try and weasel a little bit of money out of me to make this monthâs figures look good so that you can boast to your colleagues and feel better about yourself on the 6:43 commuter service to radlett you disingenuous piece of...... iâm arguing with software but you get my point

i got annoyed once when an automated station announcement said "i am sorry for the late running of this service". you're not sorry you're just a pre recorded message! "we are sorry..." i could accept.

this is close enough to the same thing to post it here instead of "worst TV ads"
the recent Asda ads have all been pretty brutal, featuring a delightfully quirky buffoon who loves Asda so much he makes stan videos for them, but there's one current one where the spokesclown thanks Asda for all they're doing to keep people safe during the pandemic, so we have an advert for Asda, paid for by Asda, where we're invited to praise Asda for their awesomeness. somehow this just seems next level.

Ordered a book from a second hand place that looked quite good, the type of company you're happy to give business to. And then they emailed this confirmation
(Your book(s) wanted to write you a personal note - it seemed unusual, but who are we to say no?) Holy moly! It's me... it's me! I can't believe it is actually me! You could have picked any of over half a million books but you picked me! I've got to get packed! How is the weather where you live? Will I need a dust jacket? I can't believe I'm leaving Dunfermline, Scotland already! I can't wait to meet you! You sound like such a well read person. Although, I have to say, it sure has taken you a while! I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but how would you like to spend five months sandwiched between Jane Eyre (drama queen) and Fundamentals of Thermodynamics (pyromaniac)? At least Jane was an upgrade from that stupid book on brewing beer. How many times did the ol' brewmaster have one too many and topple off our shelf at 2am? But hey, enough about me, I've been asked to brief you on a few things.We sent your order to the following address:
