...and tell 'em Pat Summerall sent you 

You can indeed say dat to da staff at da local True Value Hardware store, but good luck on getting any discounts or other "preferential perks" as a result.
Perhaps da famous radio-ad phrase, "...and tell 'em Pat Summerall sent you" might have been more recognizable "way back when" during da time when everyone's favorite deep-and-rich-tone-voiced Irish sportscaster was making those ads, but in more-modern times, da Cotter & Co. stores' mostly-from-da-newer-generation employees will likely just give you puzzled looks if you jokingly spout said remark when you walk in da door. :P

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!
