"I was almost crushed by a hippopotagoth at the Sisters of Mercy show the other night. The dude probably weighed 350."

"Lost in yet another 'Sweet Dreams' remix, I was suddenly surrounded by a pod of hippopotagoths, their busts heaving, their darkened eyes hungry and their pale, meaty calves too large for everyday lace-up boots. Were they after me in my tattered, frilled shirt and black leather pants, or were they driven by delusions that I had hidden Twinkies about my person?"

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!
