A dancing monkey is an accomplice who follows the leader (silver back) at all times, through thick and thin much like an urchin except acts more like a master's puppet.
Dancing Monkey is also referred to as Pinoccio.

The dancing of rage as the coin drops in the "slot" and the monkey jumps to life.
As he bent over, his plumber's crack was glaringly obvious, so I took out a 5c piece and dropped it in the "slot" (his crack) and jumped back shouting loudly, "Dance Monkey, DANCE!" and so is born the dancing monkey!
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!
