Hummingbirds are the Sharks of the Sky 

Quoted from youtuber Captainsparklez also known as Jordan Maron. This quote suggested that as sharks have to keep swimming as to not sink, hummingbirds can't stop flying because they can't land. Of course, hummingbirds can land and Jardon was wrong.
"It just flies forever, it's stuck there like the Sharks of the Sky because most sharks can't stop swimming either. That's probably the first time anyone's ever said that Hummingbirds are the Sharks of the Sky, and I'm going to own up to that."

- Jordan Maron (Captainsparklez) on August 6, 2017 in the video titled "An Expensive Mistake" at 8:45

jump-the-shark 

The beginning of the end. Something is said to have "jumped the shark" when it has reached its peak and begun a downhill slide to mediocrity or oblivion. It's said to have been coined by Jon Hein, who has a web site, jumptheshark.com, and now a book detailing examples, especially as applied to TV shows. It supposedly refers to an episode of the TV show "Happy Days" in which Fonzie jumps over a shark on water skis, which Hein believes was the point at which the series had lost its touch and was beginning to grasp at straws.
A TV show's sure "jump-the-shark" sign: the appearance of a "special guest star".

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!
