Brand New Animal 

BNA, or Brand New Animal, is a show made by Studio Trigger, and aired on Netflix. The show takes place mostly in Anima City, a safe haven for beastmen(also known as beastkin), which are humanoid animals(intelligent, of course), and are hated by humans. The show’s main character is named Michiru Kagemori, a human who became a beastman(a tanooki in the beginning) from an accident in a hospital. Michiru can shape-shift due to her not having a defined type of beastman species(the mitosis process in her cells causes her to stretch her arms to long distances, inflate her tail so that it cushions falling, grow wings, have heightened sense of smell, etc.). Her social worker friend, Shirou Ogami, is a beastman whose form partakes in that of a gray wolf. He wears a collar around his neck to keep his power at bay, as he is what the beastmen call the Silver Wolf, a magic being. The show was overall very good, although I would advise not to watch it if you are squeamish around blood and death.
A: Hey man, wanna watch TV?
B: Sure, how about that show Brand New Animal? It’s really good.
A: *Watches for a couple episodes* Oh my, I did not expect his chest to be impaled. Look at all of that blood.
A: Wait, he’s alive? Even though his STOMACH WALL WAS SLICED OPEN? And he’s chatting with Michiru? How?
A: Oh he’s the Silver Wolf ok

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
