red can run 

When staring at your gas needle and noticing that it is very low, you determine that it is time to do something about it. Either getting an actual red 5 gallon gas can, or popping the lock with the key, making sure your lights are off, and pulling in for a quick fuel up on the dude watch.

(see dude watch)
Dick: Man my needle is on empty! What should I do?
Jane: You need to pull a red can run!
Dick: That's right! I'll grab the can!
Jane: Or you can just pop the lock and do the dude watch!

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!
