There were two outstanding mock reality shows that couldn't draw flies but I thought were funny as hell:

"My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss" - mock Donald Trump puts unsuspecting (read: gullible) contestants through a series of ridiculous tasks. Unfortunately, it was in the same time slot as the first season of "Desperate Housewives" and got mauled.

"Joe Schmo" - maybe because the show was on Spike the ratings sucked, but even with a huge wrestling audience lead-in its second season's viewership was horrendous. It was also saddled with a very late time slot.

I'm not sure how long they could have pulled off these fake shows, but it's a moot point anyway as I was apparently the only one watching them.
