How many beans make 5? 

It's a British sort of joke phrase such that when asked the reply or answer is:

Bean, bean, bean and a half, half a bean and a bean.

My father used to ask me this when I was young and it was told to me as,

"Two beans, a bean and a half, half a bean and a bean."

After looking at various sources trying to figure out why anyone started saying this at all, I came across many versions. They all seem to contain most of the following parts in some arrangement: two beans, a bean, bean and a half and half a bean. I decided on this version because if listen you can hear the rhythm like a poem.

"Bean, bean, bean and a half, half a bean and a bean."

Oddly about 1 in 5 of the answers didn't actually add up to 5 beans.

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!
