Industrial Strength Stupid 

Extra stupid, more than really stupid, absolutely moronic, having a really low IQ, to be used when just plain stupid is not even close to describing how stupid someone or something is.
Example 1

Guy 1: Last night a fly landed on my brothers crotch. He took the hardest swipe he could at it and totally nutted himself.
Guy 2: Unbelievable. Your brother iis industrial strength stupid.

Example 2:

Guy 1: My showoff neighbour changed the oil in his driveway on the weekend. He forgot to put the drain plug back in. He poured 5 quarts of oil, straight through his engine block all over his concrete. Then he hops in it, drives away and makes it to the end of the street before his engine seized.
Guy 2: Wow. That was a really industrial strength stupid thing to do. But since he's a douche, it's kind of funny.

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!
