has left the building 

The expression "has left the building" used to be reserved for discouraging fans of Elvis and Marylin not to hang around for autographs, a glimpse, or a chat with their hero, thereby informing them that their hero no longer occupies the premises and has 'physically' left the building prolly in a limo ... but now generically refers to virtually anybody and anything that has 'permanently' expired, as in dead, died, death, "passed away", checked-out, dirt napped, and can no longer pay taxes and entertain the 'troops' ... but like Frank says "that's life, that's what people say, you're riding high in April, shot down in May, but I know one thing, I've been a Puppet, a Pauper, a Poet, a King, I've been up and down, and over and out, and I know one thing, EACH-TIME, I-FIND, MY-SELF, FLAT-ON-MY-FACE, I pick myself up and get back in the race ... That's LIFE! ... -bdn-
"What do you mean she's not here?"

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!
