Fonejacker 

1. Fonejacker is a 2007 comedy series for E4. The show revolves around prank calls carried out by Kayvan Novak, under a guise of one of several ridiculous characters, such as Mr. Doovdé, a man who pronounces abbreviations; Terry Tibbs, a used car salesman who conducts dodgy business over the phone; or George Agdgdgwngo, an African-based scamster. All calls featured in the show are real. The show began as a pilot for Channel 4 on their 'Comedy Lab' series.

2. Fonejacker (or The Fonejacker) is also the name of the prank caller, who is seen wearing a red bobble hat-come-balaclava, sunglasses, and large green coat. He is often pictured using a large early-model mobile phone, or atop a building (revealed to be Guy's Hospital, in London) using a USA payphone.
Fonejacker (as Terry Tibbs) - Wooden ladders - Talk to me!

Fonejacker (as George Agdgdgwngo) - Basically, we have discovered a pigeon inside the bank vault, sir.

Fonejacker (as Mr. Miggins) - LEICESTER SQUARE!

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
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!
