Cells at Work 

An anime that takes place inside of the human body, where each character represents a cell. It's mostly about a clumsy red blood cell running after an emo white blood cell who kicks bacteria ass while screaming "Die"

Each episode depicts a different problem inside the human body, and it's funny even though it actually teaches you stuff. tbh this should just replace biology class.
Ever since I watched Cells at Work, I feel sorry every time I injure myself. Imagine how many cute lil blood cells I just killed.

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!
