Did a Maddy 

UK origin. Named after the French girl's name Mathilde, and generally used to express a combination of amusement and embarrassment (sometime with a dose of incompetence), much like the world view's the French.

Doing a Maddy is most commonly used when you have done something that is embarrassing to you, but amusing to others unintentionally. It is often used as a pre-emptive response to the ridicule you will anyway be in for and admit defeat before it even begins.

Laura: "I overslept and tried to wash my hands with toothpaste"

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!
