get on the trolley 

To be "with the group" or to "be cool" as determined by your peers. The "trolley" would be something one would want to be on.

One may also want to make it a point of saying that someone is not on the trolley, instead of just saying that they should get on it. This implies that the person is so uncool that they cannot even try and be cool.

Another popular use is pointing out that a particular member of your friends circle is on the trolley in an attempt to rub it in the face of the person who isn't.

This phrase is usually used in a ribbing manner towards friends.
(After making a faux pas, doing something the group would consider uncool, etc) Come on Jason, get on the trolley.

Adam is definitely not on the trolley.

See Ryan? Now, Austin is on the trolley.

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!
