Murphy's Syndrome 

A (mostly eradicated) disease where an adult-oriented film/franchise is heavily reworked for children, or at least for a family-friendly audience due to its toyetic potential. Murphy's Syndrome was most prevalent from the 70s to the 90s, with specific examples including Rambo, The Toxic Avenger, The Mask, and Alien. It's a syndrome because nobody fucking knows why some stuffed shirts thought such a practice would be a good idea.

The name derives from the real name of RoboCop, Alex Murphy, one of the most well-known victims of the disease, having two shitty cartoons, a bland live-action show that only lasted one season, and two PG-13 rated films that nobody likes.

My cousin Chris grew up with RoboCop: Alpha Commando, not realizing that it was the result of Murphy's Syndrome.

Murph Syndrome 

Murph Syndrome is an example of a naturally occurring deficiency in self-confidence. It is characterised by a total failure to convert opportunities that present themselves to you. The only cure is encouragement from friends, and even then sufferers will never attain the levels of conversion achieved by non-sufferers. Sufferers can experience outbreaks of the syndrome in numerous spheres - however it most commonly occurs when propositioning the opposite sex. Murph syndrome sufferers are often outwardly confident, some even arrogant, however sufferers lose this in the heat of the moment.

Dude 1: Hey man, you know you took that girl for coffee yesterday, how'd it go?

Dude 2: Well I was gonna kiss her but my Murph Syndrome struck and all I got was a peck on the cheek
