A new term coined by a great philosopher.

This is when someone THINKS Denzel Washington is the Black guy from All State Insurance commercials WHEN in fact he is not and the said person goes into a frenzy like state thus resulting in a statement being said such as "DUUUDE I THOUGHT THAT WAS HIM!".
Dennis Haysbert:"Are you in good hands?"

Person 1:*Stands up and spills cereal* What the HELL did Denzel Washington just try selling to me?...insurance?

Person 2:No, dude it's Dennis Haysbert!That guy from "The Unit".

Person 1:*Sits back down* Oooh!...wait...*Goes into shock*

Person 2:*Ignores friend spazzing on floor yelling* Damn, The Haysbert Effect...always making people spill cereal on my damn carpet.
