Clown Factory 

A crowded place so chock full of morons doing stupid things that they must be manufacturing them in a back room; thus, a factory. An organization housing so many idiots, it almost seems intentional.

"Are you kidding? That place is a total clown factory. Last time we went, some muppet backed his Land Rover into 2 parked cars and ran over a potted tree on his way out."

Clown Factory 

a) Any government run organization; the biggest clowns usually being those in management. The higher up the ladder someone is, the greater their "Clown Factor".

b) A place where common sense is exchanged for a promotion or management training, (Also known as "Clown School")...thus creating a factory of sorts, specifically of Clowns.

C) A place where the biggest clowns (management), create a circus like environment where incompetance and stupidity reins supreme and filters down into lower management ranks. The entry level workers are left confused, as they still possess common sense, and do not speak "Clownese". The Clowns constantly try to fix that which is not broken in order to justify their jobs, thus turning a happy well-functioning work environment into shit. Anyone with a brain is laid off or fired, and the Management Clowns start creating yes-man clones of themselves in the back room, thus a "Clown Factory".

Clown Factor

The Clown factor is the fear of doing something brave, because you are afraid to fail and be clowned by your friends and family. This factor must be considered before attempting something crazy, because the benefits from succeeding may not outweigh the clown factor of failure.

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!
