When a school board trustee candidate is elected to office by virtue of their current or prior status as a school principal
The only reason that guy was elected was because of the Mr. Belding Effect.

Person who knows very little: Think he knows alot because he has no idea how deep the wormhole goes.
Person who knows a lot: Think he knows nothing because he knows how much he does not know on the subject.
"This anoying guy thinks he knows everything about atomic energy because he watched a documentary on History channel."
"The Dunning–Kruger effect is real in this one dude."
Opposit:
"Im retarded, complex numbers is killing me. Im the worst at math."
"uhm, what the fuck is complex numbers? I think the Dunning–Kruger effect got you big-tym"

When everyone around you know, and remember something you have no knowledge/recollection of.
Friend 1: Damn, did you hear that Prince died?
Friend 2: What? Are you serious?!
You: Wait, who's Prince?
Friend 1: What?! You've never heard of Prince? Everybody knows Prince!
Friend 2: Dude, you're experiencing reverse mandela effect.

The feeling that one SHOULD feel satisfied, but for some reason they don't feel satisfied. Similar feelings are evoked by watching anything on Netflix. On the surface it APPEARS like the real thing, but a little bit of analysis it is clearly fake.
Another stupid show on Netflix! Feels like the Milano Cookie Effect.

The Call of Halo effect :
Creating an amazing game that can then allow the producers to spawn a series of shitter games and still make profit
Infinty Ward : Oh lets create call of duty 4
Childrens : OH YAY CALL OF DUTY 4 <33333333333333
Infinity Ward : now lets create World at War and MW2
People with sense : Wow, this is shit.
Childrens : OH MY GOD YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
-Makes lots of money anyway-
And the same for Halo, with Halo 1 being amazing, and Halo Reach being downright shit.
Behold, the call of halo effect

In any competition, when the receiver of second place or a runner-up ends up becoming more successful than the actual winner. This is open to interpretation, of course.
Typically associated with the case of Clay Aiken on American Idol, who didn't actually win, but who has become a more commonly-heard name than winner Ruben Studdard.
Billy ended up becoming a CEO, even though he got second place in the science fair in 4th grade. The first place winner, Paul, lives in his grandma's basement. This is an example of the Clay Aiken Effect.
