The Ariel Effect

A phenomenon in which mystical forces appear to inexplicably throw a workplace or party into chaos or unprecedented popularity.
"This party is stricken with the Ariel Effect, what with the droves of police and gangsters piling out of clown cars with Tommy Guns. Got Damn!"

The Patterson Effect

That uncanny event in which your computer no longer is experiencing issues at the exact moment it is brought to IT, making you look both stupid and intentionally disrespectful of the IT representative's time. Don't be a Patterson.

The Fink Effect

When playing a competitive sport, more likely then not, there is usually a star that carries the team to victory. Usually, that is called the star player of the team, or MVP. The Fink Effect is when the MVP helps the team overcome defeat all by himself.

So, When a team is losing a game without their star player, but then the star player comes in and makes the difference for the team to overcome and win, that is called The Fink Effect.

It doesn't have to be the MVP or star player that constitutes it as the Fink Effect. For a team to make a comeback from losing, because of only one player, that is called The Fink Effect. Thus, as long as one person makes the difference, then the Fink Effect is taking place.

The Prankenstein Effect

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"
