too much of a good thing
A phrase typically used to indicate that having too much of a "good thing" generally becomes a bad thing, and you're gonna have a bad time.
This applies to pretty much everything - even seemingly normal everyday habits - as well as more obvious examples like food, sex, drugs (especially alcohol), and, hell, even water.
All of them can be good, and they often are. But too much of any one of them will always lead to negative and painful consequences, some sooner than others. Especially if you're actively trying to ignore those consequences by continuing to over-use said "good thing" - all you're doing is just putting off that pain until later... because you're still gonna have to deal with it eventually. Somehow, someday, it's gonna bite you in the ass, and the longer you push it off, the harder it's gonna bite. Could be physically, mentally, emotionally, or even spiritually...
In fact, people are very frequently utterly destroyed by good things.
The difference between medicine and poison is always in the dosage.

There's really no such thing as "too much of a good thing," because once you start reaching levels of "too much"... then whatever you're doing, it ain't a "good thing" anymore.

womp
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!
