Cardenesque 

Clumsy, shortsighted approach to all aspects of life. Examples of cardenesque behaviour may involved awkwardness in social situations, such as offering strangers small drinks or taking great offence at inanimate objects' presence.

Cardenesque behaviour is often associated with alcoholism, followed by an almost schizophrenic style of conversation where deep-rooted insults are followed immediately by profuse apologies and public displays of affection.

The results of sustained periods of such behaviour can be as minor as creating and repeatedly singing a personal theme-tune to far more sinister acts resulting in defecation or serious personal injury.
Examples of cardenesque conversations

A: "Might I buy you a SMALL glass of red wine?"

B: No

--------------

A: "You're a cunt. I fucking hate you."

A: "I'm sorry I really love you I mean. Give me a kiss"

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!
