The act of physically having to pull a friend or other close comrade away from the computer screen after they have spent hours upon hours of watching 3-4 minute clips of every random and senseless happening on YouTube.
"Hey, you look like you had NO sleep last night!"

"Eh..it was a busy night. It's very difficult being a teenager working for minimum wage and pulling seven hour shifts and then having to come home to perform YouTubal ligations on certain family members because it's 3 am and someone is watching clips from old Dane Cook shows and listening to techno with the speakers on full blast!"

"Wow, need a Starbucks?"

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

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!
