The Martha Jones Effect

The misdirected rage generated by fans of a particular character when that character is killed off or replaced by someone else. Often the rage prevents them from giving a fair opinion of the new character. Originates from the BBC series Doctor Who, when fan favorite Rose Tyler was replaced with Martha Jones.
Example #1

“I hate Martha Jones so much!”

“Why?”

“Because she isn’t Rose Tyler!”

Example #2

“I hate Clara Oswin Oswald!”

“Why?”

“Because she isn’t Rory and Amy!”

“That’s the Martha Jones effect.”

Eiffel Tower

Okay, so two guys, they get this chick, right? And she's into them both, and that Lonely Island song and all that, so they form a human H with her and they're so proud of themselves that they just have to high five each other. But no, its a greater moment than that. They have to double high five!
Bro 1: "Bro, I can't believe we got Natalie to go for this, bro!"
Bro 2: "Bro, I know, bro!"
Bro 1: "Bro, we should high-five, bro!"
Bro 2: "Bro, we should double high-five, bro!"
Bro 1: "Bro, like an Eiffel Tower, bro?!"
Bro 2: "Bro, definitely, bro!"
Natalie: "Nnnmmmppphhh"

Axe effect

A fictional idea, that a guy can spray himself with some crappy scent and suddenly women are drawn to him like Oprah to fries. The term is synonymous with complete crap.

Apatow Effect

The single-handed influence Judd Apatow movies have had on getting more naked penis shots into mainstream comedies. Mostly to the detriment of society. See Walk Hard, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, etc.
Dude, I just saw Jay's schlong in that Zack and Miri movie. I didn't know Silent Bob had gotten zapped by the Apatow Effect, too.

Robin Effect

The effects that Robin has on all men and women. Super magnetic personality. Man and women are falling all over her. She has them wrapped around her little finger to do her will.
