Pulling a Doyle

Promising something, but pushing it back for months on end in an attempt to teach a lesson on "delayed gratification" in the manner that YouTuber John Doyle pushed back his documentary on pornography.

Brett Favre was pulling a Doyle with his retirement in the late 2000s and early 2010s.

Pulling a Peg

To invite long distance relatives, loved ones or friends to stay with you for holidays, vacation, or a weekend, but back out when they arrive or cut the stay short without reason or remorse.

Mary; "How was the Christmas trip?"
Peter; "We got there and she ended up pulling a Peg. Said she changed her mind and told us to get a hotel."

Pulling a Palin

Using terms like "blood libel" and creating other controversy in a never ending cycle to keep oneself in the spotlight long after their 15 minutes of fame has expired. Also creating drama to make it look like they're the victim after saying something stupid also applies.

I thought that horrible band would just fade away but they're pulling a Palin and now they have a reality show.
