The Bazinga Effect is a philosophy originating from the popular tv series "Big Bang Theory". The well known catchphrase, "Bazinga" is used frequently, and a lot of the time out of context. This word is far from being classified as funny, but people still laugh. The word bazinga is an example, and the namesake of The Bazinga Effect.
Steve: "I don't get why people keep laughing, it's not funny."
Joseph: "It looks like The Bazinga Effect is settling in."

When you come up with something that you think is cool and funny and you think you're the first person to think of it, but it turns out many people have thought of it long before you.
Person 1: Bro! I have a crazy idea! Imagine Frankenstein but he's a prankster, and his name is PRANKENSTEIN. Why has no one ever though of this before?
Person 2: That joke has been used several times already by many other people.
Person 1: Fuck. I'll call this phenomenon "The Prankenstein Effect"

The unnecessary delay a Police Officer takes before lawfully taking someone's life. An unnecessary delay that puts an officer in grave danger himself because he is fearful of unjust criticism and scrutiny from the media, critics, citizens, celebrities and politicians, etc. The fear a Police Officer experiences for being wrongly accused of being a racist in a fatal shooting.
That cop almost got wasted because of the Ferguson Effect waiting too long to shoot Jimmy Jones fearing he would be called a racist.
