shriek out 

Instead of having a freak out, someone has a shriek out. This is usually used in reference to a girl who shrieks at the tiniest thing, like a broken nail or a bad grade on a test. Instead of freaking out and maybe doing something like a normal person would, they usually stand there and let off an irritating shriek.

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!
