The Josh Effect
The phenomenon in which being in Josh’s presence significantly increases the probability that food will be acquired, ordered, discussed, or consumed.
The Josh Effect can occur in two ways: Josh may directly suggest getting food, or you may spontaneously develop the overwhelming urge to get food simply because Josh is nearby. After sufficient exposure, your brain begins to associate Josh = food, resulting in a Pavlovian response whenever he appears.

“I wasn’t even hungry, but then Josh showed up and suddenly we were getting McDonald’s.”
“Bro, I’ve been with Josh for 20 minutes and somehow we’re already ordering food. The Josh Effect is real.”

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!
