Within scrolling distance 

When the information you wanna access from a particular webpage is only a little bit further down the page from where you are. This means that it is close enough for you to be bothered enough to scroll down the page and access it quickly. It is therefore said to be 'within scrolling distance'
"I can't see where to type in my email address"
"That's because it's further down the page, but don't worry, it's within scrolling distance"

Beast from Within 

An astoundingly huge and horrible fart; the kind that can clear a room, or even an entire grocery store – a fart from which there is no escape for innocent bystanders.

The act of letting such a fart is to "set loose the Beast from Within."
"Hey, why is everybody leaving?"
"Don't go in there!"
"Why not?"
"Frank just set loose the Beast from Within!"

the whiskers they come from within 

A saying any Phangirl or Phanboy would know. It comes from when two YouTubers, Danisnotonfire (aka Daniel Howell), and AmazingPhil (aka Phil Lester) made a collab Q/A where they draw cat whiskers on their faces with black marker. This series, only happening once a year, is named Philisnotonfire, as a mix of their internet names at the time. This phrase was coined up by them or some fans. "The whiskers, they come from within" is even on a few items of merch that they sell.
Girl while watching a Philisnotonfire video: Oh my God the whiskers they come from within! (She feels the whiskers in herself)

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!
