macgyvered

So I took my shoelaces, tied them together, lassoed the gas petal (with a paperclip), slid a wrench down it (to change the direction of force), threaded it through the steering wheel, and attached it to the door handle, so when I opened the car door and jumped out, the force from opening the door would cause the car to let on the gas and drive towards the men with the bazookas, letting me escape.”

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!
