The guy in the chair 

A man who scams the government by receiving disability payments for being in a wheelchair that he doesn't actually need. The guy in the chair will never go out in public without his wheel chair in fear of being caught for fraud. However, he can typically be seen walking and using his legs in the privacy of his house or his trailer. The guy in the chair will often refer to himself in the third person as the guy in the chair and will often try to gain sympathy from others for his "disability", even those that know he isn't actually disabled. The character Ray from the TV show Trailer Park Boys is the most prominent example of the guy in the chair.

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!
