It is one of the best flashmobs on YouTube. The video is called "PHAMOUS PLANET HOLLYWOOD FLASH MOB!", uploaded on ShayCarl's channel.

Flashmob Sale
Unsanctioned, crowd-sourced 100% off sales on high-fashion clothing, handbags and accessories at stores such as Nordstrum and Neiman Marcus. Commonly referenced in mainstream media as "Grab-and-run robberies" or "organized retail theft," Flashmob Sales generally involve the redistribution of symbols of capitalist wealth in the order of hundreds of thousands of dollars, taken from icons of retail excess and redistributed to those in need of a fashion upgrade for the holidays.
Rumored to be inspired by the Bob Dylan lyric, "Steal a little and they throw you in jail, steal a lot and the make you king," the proponents of Flashmob Sales are under the apparent belief that if enough people steal a ton of items all at once, the internet will cheer them on and the police will simply go back to finding unarmed civilians to shoot for sport.

Facebook Flashmob
In a collective effort, facebook friends of one person steal and adopt his/her profile picture, and each tag the original owner in their new pic. Then the group then likes and comments on everyone's new profile pic, ensuring a barrage of notifications for the target person. Works much better if the adopted picture is in any way scandalous.

womp
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!
