advertorial

An article or editorial that has been written for the purpose of promoting a product or service. The word itself is a combination of "advertisement" and "editorial." Often the piece will avoid a tone with overt bias.

I had read a whole page about vitamins in the news magazine before realizing the story was just an advertorial.

scandocious

1. a cross-breed of "scandalous" and "ferocious"
2. sexual in nature, especially concerning sexual activities that are risky or done on the sly

"Don't tell him, but me and his girl had a totally scandocious late-night session."

broad comedy

Style or sub-genre of comedy that employs humor of a particularly physical, over-the-top, indecent, or otherwise unsubtle nature.
This terminology uses an uncommon definition of "broad," which would usually be taken to mean "general" or "of great breadth."

The Three Stooges will forever be cherished for their classic works of broad comedy.
