Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear? 

A question posed by Yossarian in Joseph Heller’s Catch-22 to find out why so many people were working so hard to kill him.

This seemingly rhetorical question is what one asks when one feels that everyone else is asking stupid questions and one wants to join in and/or point out how obviously stupid their questions are. Or, merely, because one wants to find out why so many people are working so hard to kill oneself.
Yossarian was a collector of good questions and had used them to disrupt the educational sessions Clevinger had once conducted two nights a week in Captain Black's intelligence tent with the corporal in eyeglasses who everybody knew was probably a subversive. Captain Black knew he was a subversive because he wore eyeglasses and used words like panacea and utopia, and because he disapproved of Adolf Hitler, who had done such a great job of combating unAmerican activities in Germany.

Yossarian attended the education sessions because he wanted to find out why so many people were working so hard to kill him. A handful of other men were also interested, and the questions were many and good when Clevinger and the subversive corporal finished and made the mistake of asking if there were any.

“Who is Spain?”

“Why is Hitler?”

“When is right?”

“Where was that stooped and mealy-colored old man I used to call poppa when the merry-go-round broke down?”

“How was Trump at Munich?”

“Hi-ho beriberi!”

and “Balls!” all rang out in rapid succession, and then there was Yossarian with the question that had no answer:

“Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?”

Yesterfester

The state of unpleasantness that follows a night of heavy binge drinking. The effects of a yesterfester can include but are not limited to the following:

Beer Farts, Headache, Beer Shits, Puking in one's own bed, Lost articles of clothing, personal items or friends, Heartburn, Nausea, Indigestion, Yay Pepto Bismol!, Feelings of Helplessness, Waking up to a toothless woman or dude, being lost, and losing your identity.

Part of the overall experience of a yesterfester is piecing together the events of the previous night that lead up to the yesterfester. Yesterfesters are often the result of a yesterfest.
Brian: Oh man I have a terrible yesterfester!
Scott: Yeah you called me and asked if your new homeless friend could sleepover last night.
Brian: Did he?
Scott: Yeah he's upstairs making breakfast. You should really give him something to wear.
Brian: Well that would explain my sore butt hole. I feel like shit.
Scott: Sounds like you have one hell of a yesterfester.

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!
