Genre Mash-Ups

I noticed lately that entertainment magazines and what not are referring to some 'Comedy Dramas' as 'Dramedies'. I'm not sure where this term originated, or when, but I don't think such a one-word description has been given to other films that may be categorized under multiple genres.

If you've seen some other one-word descriptions, post it here. Or, hell, post your own crazy-@$$ genre mash-up.

Docudramas, being movies or shows that are semi-documentary but who's events have been dramatized for your viewing pleasure.

I've seen the term "celebreality" lately, which apparently refers to a "reality" show starring a (fading and/or desperate for attention) celebrity.

VH1 made up the term and I think the only ones using it

Peter Jackson used to call his earlier horror-comedy films "splatstick".

I'm not positive, but I think the term "dramedy" first came about when THIRTYSOMETHING was on TV.
