Wikipedian Loop 

The Wikipedian Loop occurs when the use of Wikipedia to research a particular subject leads to an infinite loop of addiction.

This addiction is characterised by staring transfixed at Wikipedia pages for hours at a time and usually results in varying levels of frustration and distress at the impossibility of ever successfully reading through all the Wikipedia pages currently open without the urge to open even more to linked subjects and thus continue the Loop.

At its climax an infinite number of screens may be open (allowing for your computers capabilities).

Hitler Wikipedia Game 

A game with the object of reaching Hitler's Wikipedia page by clicking on "Random Article", then clicking links in that article to get to other articles, until eventually you can find a link to Adolf Hitler's page. There are rules against using the "find on this page" option in your browser, and there is sometimes a time limit on how long you can spend on each page. Your score is determined by your number of clicks before clicking on Hitler's page. If you reach Hitler's page by clicking on "Random Article", you win the game forever and are probably Jesus.
me: Yo, this computer class is so boring, lets play that Hitler Wikipedia game.
you: okay...*click*...OH MY GOD HITLERS PAGE CAME UP WHEN I CLICKED RANDOM ARTICLE!!!
me: HOLY JESUS!!!!!!!!!

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!
