Einsteinism 

Refers to a joke which becomes much less funny if it requires an explanation.

Farcically derived from a nonsense situation whereby Einstein and his assistant at the time have just finished explaining, in great depth, the workings of hie great Theory of Relativity. Upon finishing the lecture, the gathered scientists and philosophers look a little non-plussed an tentatively applaud Einstein for his great work . . . though really they don't quite understand it. Whilst accepting the applause graciously, Einstein turns to his assistant, who happens to be chuckling, and mutters "See, I told you, it's nowhere near as funny when you have to explain it (!)"

First credit for this original word/concept must be given to Ian James Hay, for it was his peculiar mind that created it :)
British word-play and some puns lose they're humour when they're translated and/or explained to a foreigner; therefore they're einsteinisms.

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!
