Matt Smith Effect

When one finds themselves completely infatuated with any character played by Matt Smith, no matter how evil or manipulative said character is. Confusion plays a big role in this phenomena as overwhelming feelings of lust are met with strong twinges of guilt. See also the concept of “uglyhot” and the power of unconventional attractiveness.

“Why am I so unbelievably attracted to Prince Philip in Netflix’s The Crown?

“Don’t worry - you’re not actually attracted to the late Duke of Edinburgh - you’re just experiencing the Matt Smith Effect.”

Big Boss Effect

The theory that argues that we all start innocent and people, the environment and circumstances shape how we see right and wrong. We then have only one goal and there are no heroes or villains since you think that your objective is morally right. Love doesn't exist since it can weaken your mission and the individual is the most important thing.

After WWII many soldiers found themselves difficult to adapt to society because of the Big Boss Effect.

Pandora's Box Effect

The effect that transcends one's curiosity into an overactive drive/need to experience something, regardless of the ending possibilities. It is different from peer pressure since it does not require external forces, but is similar to physiological effects, such as being horny.

A: I think I wanna get a prostate exam, just to see what it's like
B: That's the Pandora's Box Effect, dude. Don't fall for it.

A few days later

A: I got a prostate exam.
B: You look a little different.
A: You think?

White bitch effect

When one white bitch start posting some dumb shit she doesn’t know but think it’s about equality or women’s right on instagram. It then leads to other white bitches joining her and reposting it. Hence the white bitch effect continues.

“Oh my god, did you see what Emily posted about Palestine?” “Yep, that’s the white bitch effect.”

The Dane Cook Effect

1. When an entertainer or public figure has a fan base that becomes so obnoxious, annoying and generally despised, that the entertainer or public figure becomes the object of scorn, ridicule and hate by the public, despite the fan base being the actual problem, not the entertainer or public figure
2. When a person, group, movement or thing gains such significantly high level of popularity, that it actually causes an equal and opposite reaction from the public creating a subculture of near equal popularity that hates the source of popularity

1. Despite suffering from The Dane Cook Effect, Insane Clown Posse managed to stay consistent and at least gain some respect from the public for their ability to understand merchandising and utilize a good marketing strategy.
2. Even though conservationism is practical and pragmatic, too many annoying self righteous douches contaminated the public image of conservation leading to The Dane Cook Effect causing people do the opposite out of spite.
