Microscoping 

Calling attention to a small detail or attribute that bothers you about someone, or asking them to explain it to you on the spot. Usually something that most people would avoid out of respect, or overlook because of how unimportant it is, especially when done without any segue and derailing the conversation or ruining the vibe.

May be done intentionally to "knock someone down a peg", or unintentionally due to social retardation. The chosen detail may be an insecurity for the microscopee, or may become a new insecurity after the microscoping is complete. The chosen detail may cross a line, leading others to callout the microscoper, or it may be too subtle to warrant a callout.
Guy1: "Hey everyone, look at this amazing art that my step-daughter drew!"
Guy2: "Saying step-daughter is sad, why not just say daughter?"
Guy3: "What's really sad is you microscoping that."

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!
