self-satirising advertising

Normally, advertisers don't like too much honesty:
Lucky Strike - YouTube
Jay Doubleyou: the men who made us spend: part two

Now, corporations are selling their stuff with a little more honesty:

Satire could be used - but that's normally about attack:

This piece of satire did not seem to harm Ikea, however:

Jay Doubleyou: fight club: how many film genres in one film?
Jay Doubleyou: fight club and anti-consumerism

Nor the Victoria & Albert Museum:
