Pervestis Arousal Escapism 

(n); Mental disorder, PAE. Can become Chronic (CPAE), or Acute (APAE) depending on the strength of the associated urges. PAE in males is marked by a desire to be measured for clothes by an attractive young woman followed by a subsequent arousal due to the close proximity of her hands to the patient's genitalia. PAE is a replacement form of escapism where otherwise an extramarital affair or midlife crisis would have been the only other available options.

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!
