I don't know whether this should count as "Literature" or "Other Media," and I'm not even sure it quite fits what you had in mind, but Playboy in the 1960s ran a humor article by Brock Yates (of Car and Driver magazine) and artist-writer Bruce McCall depicting several deliberately silly designs, "Major Howdy Bixby's Album of Forgotten Warbirds."
These included a Japanese pedal-powered papier-mâché "bomber," known to Americans as the "Shirley" and intended to drop a rabid dog on a Yank ship; Britain's Humbley-Pudge Gallipoli Heavyish Bomber; an Italian Caproni-Moroni design built so it could reverse course without turning in order to more quickly join the forces it'd been sent to attack; and the Soviets' Snud U-14 transport, constructed with a bent fuselage due to the blueprint being wrinkled.
Letters to the editor pretending to take this seriously (and praise it) came in from John W. R. Taylor, then-editor of Jane's All the World's Aircraft, and from Ray Wagner, author of American Combat Planes (1960), who even joked that he'd seen "the Humbley-Pudge leading an R.A.F. review given by Prime Minister Churchill in honor of Neville Chamberlain and Sir Oswald Moseley."

Big Brother is watching you. And damn, you are so bloody BORING.
