Banimals are animals beginning with the letter 'B' or 'Ba'. To be a true 'Banimal' the animal must also have banter value. So Bats are Banimals; they begin with the letters 'Ba' and have banter value (see the line from the film 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas': "We can't stop here, its Bat country!"
Other examples of the Banimal include Badgers, Baboons, Beavers and Barnacles. As you can see animals that begin with a 'B' but not a 'Ba' have to have a very strong banter value to be included. Bears for instance do not have enough true banter chutzpah to be included. Neither do Basking Sharks.

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.
