South Park moment

When a memory is triggered by something you saw on a South Park episode, i.e., their parodies of "A Perfect Storm" or "The Day After Tomorrow". This moment occurs when the movie you're watching is serious or melodramatic in nature thereby causing you to giggle while your friends look at you like you've lost your mind.

"Wow, "The Perfect Storm" sure was a real tearjerker"
(giggle, chuckle, snicker)
"Dude, what are you laughing at?"
"Sorry man, but I just had a South Park moment when the smug cloud rolled into town during George Clooney's speech in LA and everything got destroyed"
"Huh, wtf?!!!"

Hanging by a moment

Computer keeps hanging at seemingly random intervals or in response to a specific sequence of events.

My computer is hanging by a moment when you're online last night, that's why I couldn't reply to your message.

Ben Hur Moment

Missing an iconic event because you couldn't be bothered or just didn't know how important it would be. after the scene in the film where Charlton Heston meets people going to the sermon on the mount but doesn't go with them.

My friends asked me if I wanted to go see Nirvana years ago before they were famous but I didn't go - what a Ben Hur Moment!

Salem's Lot moment

Feeling of elation when you realise you and one other person have resisted a virulent cultural meme that has infected the rest of the local population.

Etymology: the 1979 television adaptation of Salem’s Lot concludes with two characters, Ben Mears and Mark Petrie, hiding in a church from the other town inhabitants, all of whom have been transformed into vampires. Despite the danger of their predicament there’s a sense of elation that they have resisted the vampire infection.

Example of Salem's Lot moment: having met the one other person at a party who refuses to dance to commercial R'n'B, you both hide out in the garden. Should you fail to find another such person, you may find yourself overwhelmed by the infection, dancing along to Beyonce, now one of the damned.

burger king moment

When you’re in the car and you feel it comin’ fast, so your only choice is to pull into the nearest Burger King parking lot and make a mad dash for their sub-par bathrooms.

Anna: Hey Becky, I’m not feelin’ so good. Can we pull over fAST?
Becky: Oh NO, you’re not having a Burger King moment again, are you?
