The Undertale Effect is a cycle that any form of entertainment media community can fall into.
Essentially, the community will COMPLETELY over rate the show/game/book/movie/etc., and defend it as if it is their life. The community will almost always turn the lovable, funny characters into cringe, and rapidly spread throughout the internet.
The strange thing is that the only outlets to suffer from The Undertale Effect are those from something that by itself is great. The show/video game/movie/etc. is usually great, and has many redeeming qualities but it is overshadowed by the atrocious and toxic fanbase.
Quite obviously, this is based off of the worst case of this ever happening yet - Undertale. I won't get into it now, but the smallest peek into the (dead now) community will tell you.
This has infamously happened to: Steven Universe, Five Nights at Freddy's, Minecraft, and unfortunately even Rick and Morty.

Right now, Rick and Morty has fallen into the Undertale Effect. Just look at Musical.ly, the fan art, the cancerous reddit copypasta, etc.

The Pneumarian Effect is when a heterosexual male has an unusual attraction towards another homosexual male, the homosexual usually being a close friend. This is usually a one off thing.
Note: This does not mean the hetero male is gay, or bi, he may very well be straight, except for this one incident, or, this may be the road down a very queer path.

The phenomenon where a normally unattractive woman becomes more and more attractive without the presence of a more attractive woman. Coming from Trinity in the Matrix franchise
Wow. When I watched the Matrix, Trinity was an absolute dog at the start. But by the end, she was a smoking hottie, the Trinity Effect strikes again!

An effect named after a Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc. Charles wearing a bandana convinced other drivers to also wear it, so they look cool.

Having something happen, and only feeling or having the effects occur after a extended period of time.
Juice experiences DE? LoL, he is one of a kind!
While watching Code Geass he suddenly blurted out "UGUU PWNS", it was the delayed effect of watching Kanon 20mins ago"
