The over inflation of an establishment's true worth by unqualified, self-affirming know-nothings ("yelpers") & the immediate feelings of anger, disgust, remorse, and self loathing that inevitably occur after one heeds such advice.
Ted:
Damnit, Joe! Those lousy yelpers tricked me into thinking a run-down hole-in-the-wall *insert establishment* was the second coming of *insert god/messiah figure*!
Joe:
Ha! Another victim of the yelp effect, sucka.

The Crowder effect is a phenomenon whereby any attempt to sound intelligent or humorous has the unintended consequence of making yourself appear continuously more and more stupid. It is named after Steven Crowder.

Psychological effect noted by psychologist Bertram R. Forer in 1948, under which any fairly large and diverse group of people may come to believe that a tenuously balanced personality reading (especially one which, for the purpose of the test, is copied and handed out for them to ponder individually) applies strongly to each of them as individuals. Later studies have shown that the effect tends to be strongest when the recipient is given to understand that the reading has supposedly been tailored to them as an individual, that the person making the propositions is an authority they feel they can trust, and/or that most or all of the personality traits listed are positive ones, in other words flattering. The Forer effect may be of import in understanding the popularity of such pseudosciences as fortune telling or astrology.
Personality reading used to illuminate the Forer effect (thanks to Wikipedia):
You have a need for other people to like and admire you, and yet you tend to be critical of yourself. While you have some personality weaknesses you are generally able to compensate for them. You have considerable unused capacity that you have not turned to your advantage. Disciplined and self-controlled on the outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure on the inside. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing. You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. You also pride yourself as an independent thinker; and do not accept others' statements without satisfactory proof. But you have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. At times you are extroverted, affable, and sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, and reserved. Some of your aspirations tend to be rather unrealistic.
Now ... how does this apply to YOU?

The "Shrek Effect"is an unnatural occurance that happens to young women after high school and college. The young woman is naturally beautiful/ and or cute to begin with, but through out the years after her education, the shrek effect sets in. May it be the cause of a horrible heart shattering break up or that she spent too many nights curled up with a snuggie, eating sherbert ice creaming watching soap operas as she cries silently on her Scott Baio pillow thinking that the right guy will just "find her". These women put on a good chunk of fat and sometimes get beaten with the ugly bat numerous times. These events will lead to the woman developing the "Shrek Effect". A young beautiful woman turning into a fat, ugly, or just unpleasant to glance at. This effect would be considered the opposite of the "ugly duckling syndrome"
Remember Jessica from high school? yeah she got fat, looks like the shrek effect happened. pity.
