You could imagine Stephen Colbert (a long time ago on his other show), where everything was just written. Some part of the readers would understand what was going on and others just would not. It would be dependent on the reader’s own contexts and what they think is going on.
Glenn Beck used to host Radio before he was on TV and one of his gimmicks was a thing he called "The Schlub Club".
His show spanned the afternoon and evening hours, so on some days he would announce a preposterous thing and say to the listeners they should call in with comments in support of this thing and goad those who were not in on the joke to take a stand against this preposterous notion that nobody was ever really for.
Those people who got out work and turned on the radio sure we're in for a surprise.
Tampa Bay market ca. 2001. Check WFLA archives if you're curious about this "shtick".
