Smart porn 

After the boom of soft porn in the 1970s and the mainstream advent of hard porn in the 80s-90s, smart porn is the inevitable market leader in adult entertainment for the the 21st century.

Taking its name from the international dynamics of the behaviour exerted by nations in the form of 'hard power' and 'soft power' (coercion via military might and co-option and attraction, respectively), 'smart power' combines elements of these two to achieve more than each is capable of individually.

Therefore:

Smart porn blends the best elements of hard and soft pornography, (doing away with 'gonzo' bullshit and exploiting the best angles, as well as genuinely attractive actors to capture authentic eroticism and artistic integrity without sacrificing the visually explicit element of the audiovisual experience. In addition, great importance is given to aspects such as high production value, quality of location and engaging storyline.

Examples of smart porn companies include Private Media Group and Marc Dorcel (proving once again that the Europeans are the real masters in this long standing artform). Smart porn is aimed just as much at the adventurous female audience as at the typical male target.
Dude: hey sweet cheeks, wanna come back to my place and spark up some OG kush with a porno in the background?

Chick: are you kidding? I'm not the kind of girl who's into hard porn

Dude: this ain't no shitty hard porn honeybuns, I only ever put on the smart porn for the special lady friends. Get ready to enjoy the way porn was meant to be viewed.

Chick: well, ok...

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

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!
