Rove McManus 

A foetal-looking Australian talk show host of the programme "Rove Live", who still hasn't hit puberty despite being 35 years old now.

Had a some what original format for the first season of show until it turned into a trash-talking, celebrity-obsessed tabloid TV show where all you watch is 4 total airheads sitting on couches talking about sh*t that you already know happened from the news.

Rove also appears to display some not-so-subtle homosexual tendencies towards Hollywood actors whom he invites on his show.

In a nutshell, he symbolises the current age of the Australian entertainment media industry.
Rove McManus is to comedy, as Paris Hilton is to acting.

Goddamn it Rove, when are you going to start growing facial hair?

Hey look Rove's on! Let's all ignore it and watch paint dry instead.

Rove Mcmanus 

A talentless talk show host who typifies everything that is wrong with the entertainment industry in Australia.

McManus originates from Perth and has won countless awards for his talk show of the same name.

Originally described as a comedian, Rove would start his show with a David Lettermen-style stand-up routine. He was forced to ditch this after failing to make anyone laugh for three years staight (source: Guiness Book of Records). He can now be described as a businessman who shamelessly uses the death of his soapie-star wife to force guilty and retarded viewers to watch his show.

The format of his show is sourced from every successful talk show of the past 20 years and he hasn't had an original thought or idea in his life.
Wood Duck: Did you watch Rove McManus last night? It was soooo good.

Normal Human: I did actually but he really isn't very funny and the show is a poor excuse for advertising the movies of Hollywood guests as well as the radio shows of his equally as unfunny Aussie co-hosts.

Wood Duck: Huh? But he won a gold logie last year and his wife died. Plus it was so funny when Guy Pearce ate the M & Ms Rove puts on the set when interviewing stars.

Normal Human: Fuck off cunt.

Wood Duck: OK Mr Grumpy. I have to go anyway. I'm taking my life partner to an AFL game followed by an Adam Sandler movie.

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!
