The absolute summit of unoriginality — the point at which someone's basic tendencies have reached their maximum possible expression. Peak basic is almost a compliment in its extremity, acknowledging that this person has fully committed to the mainstream without a single grain of irony or self-awareness. Seasonal lattes? Obviously.

Mega based is reserved for acts or statements so boldly self-assured, so magnificently unfiltered, that regular 'based' doesn't cover the distance. It implies an audience pausing to acknowledge that what just happened cleared every conceivable bar and then kept going.
