One-Hit-Wonder

A band or singer that everyone forgets about after their hit song runs its natural course into obscurity, because they can never get back onto the charts again. Most one-hit-wonders are that way because either they can't write their own songs, or their own songs are crap.

Crossover songs and artists are sometimes mistaken for One-Hit-Wonders, because listeners outside their genre don't know who they are. Anyone unfortunate enough to make this mistake is likely to be taken to task by numerous members of the artist's following, because it takes quite a good artist to pull off a crossover hit.
Your own songs just aren't going to cut it. Go find a hit song that no one else has covered in at least 20 years, so the teen audience will think it's new, and maybe you can be a One-hit-wonder.

Some One-Hit-Wonders:

Dean Friedman
Right Said Fred
Gary Numan
Soft Cell
Sammy Johns
The Reflections
The Electric Prunes
The Elegants

disability

Apparently still fair game as the butt for humor according to many UrbanDictionary daffynitions, as well as popular culture in general.
At least as recently as 2000, movie-makers created an entire comedy around the concept of a disability by producing Me, Myself & Irene.

Duh-weebs in the cinema industry rewarded them by showing it on their screens.

More duh-weebs rewarded both the movie-makers and the cinemas by paying to see it, and a couple of the more hard-core cases actually enjoyed watching it.
