Public grief, memorial, and fondness to a person (usually a celebrity) for their good past memories, immediately after hearing recent news about the person's death—despite the same group of people having forgotten, hated, or otherwise disregarded the person immediately during the last period when he/she was still alive.
Billy: *Sad* Joe! Chester Bennington (singer of Linkin Park) and the Dad from Home Alone (John Heard) died just today. They were my childhood!
Joe: *Squinting with a smirk* Yeah, well, you never talked about John Heard before. I bet you never even knew his name until you saw that social media link. And just two days ago you said you hate Linkin Park's newest albums, and that the band sucks!
Billy: *Denying it* I never said that! What I really meant was...
Joe: Nevermind. It's the Chester Bennington Effect . Two days ago, everyone except for LP fans stopped talking about him or instead hated him. Only after he died was when people grieved about the loss of the singer of their previously-unspoken-about childhoods.

When your bullshit cancer content grows out to such an extent that it comes up in Idubbbz's radar and your sub count starts to decline.

The Shirley Temple Effect occurs when one person at the table orders a Shirley Temple and everyone else orders one/changes their drink order to a Shirley Temple as well.
Person 1: “I’ll have a Coke”
Waiter to Person 2: “and for you?”
Person 2: I’ll have a Shirley Temple
Person 3: ooo I’ll also have a Shirley Temple
Person 1: Can I actually change my Coke to a Shirley Temple?
Waiter: Ah yes, the Shirley Temple Effect
Personal success philosophy based on the observations that
a) any g-rated women-seeking-men Craigslist ad will be met with dozens and dozens of e-mails that are just penis pics, and
b) a "real" email will automatically be better received than the penises.
The wisdom of observation is that a little effort will automatically put you ahead of all the idiots. From personal finance blogger Ramit Sethi.
According to the Craigslist Penis Effect, wearing khakis, not sweatpants, to the fleamarket will make you super stylish by comparison.

The medias infatuation with a missing or dead girl because said victim was attractive, usually white and well-off.
Thousands of children, men and women are killed or go missing every day, however if it is a rich, attractive girl you will be forced to see and hear about it constantly until the only remedy is living under a rock or banging one's head into a concrete wall.

Yo did you hear that Yolanda Rameriz and Shaniqua Q'uaneefa Jackson were kidnapped and killed last week?
2nd guy
Yeah I heard about it, but don't expect the government or the media to care. Both those girls are from the projects..
Oh yeah! The Natalee Holloway effect!

Most prominent in the frontman of the Foo Fighters Dave Grohl (and thusly named after him), the Dave Grohl Effect is when a man looks far, far better when he has a beard. Examples of more people the Dave Grohl Effect works on are Sean Bean, Alec Baldwin, Will Wheaton, Martin Freeman and David Schwimmer.
"Hey, have you seen Joe? He's really rocking that new beard, makes him look totally badass"
"Yeah, that'll be the Dave Grohl Effect."
