Seeking out information.

In the Futurama Movie: Benders Big Score, aliens from the nudist beach planet "Nudar" trap the Planet Express crew in an internet scam and eventually take over the planet Earth.

These aliens have an organ called the "sprunger" they use for sniffing out information. Throughout the movie they are "sprunging" about for information.
Bender: What are you doing, wonderful masters?
Fleb: Sprunjing for information.
(Nudar sprunjes a wall)
Nudar: Oh! There's something here. I can sprunje it. Robot, tear it open!
Bender: Goody, goody, goody, goody!
(Bender starts hitting the wall with his head)
Zoidberg: What's that thing on your neck?
Nudar: Checking out my sprunjer, huh?
Zoidberg: I guess. What does it do?
Nudar: It's a special sense organ our species possesses. It engorges in the presence of... moans Information.
Zoidberg: Lucky you. All I have is a gland that gives off foul odors when I'm bored.
(A quiet spraying sound is heard, then the nudists, Amy, and the Professor all look at Zoidberg and cover their noses)
(Bender finishes beating up the wall with his head)
Bender: Hey, look, a safe!
Farnsworth: That's my safe. I call keep-offsies.
Nudar: No callsies! Open it!

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
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!
