What Gives!?

This Term Refers to something going awry, or Something going horribly wrong.
A perfect example is the Fairly OddParents Episode, Hard Copy, when Wanda Wishes up a Engine, and a Soda, for his Starfighter, while Evading Dark Laser, a Character Parodying Dark Vader from Star Wars, but it seems that the machine had ran out of Toner, and had made half of both of the engine, and the soda.
Wanda:"One Star Fighter Engine, and a soda coming right up!"
*Engine and soda are poofed*
Timmy:"Hey! Half a soda? Half a Engine? What Gives!?"

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!
