Gomlich Effect

The law of physics that states that if one teenage girl is screaming for something, other nearby teenage girls will begin screaming for it, and the mass of screaming girls will grow exponentially until every teenage girl within a four-mile radius is screaming.

Backstreet Boys are the worst band ever, and their success was based only on the Gomlich Effect

Cypriot Effect

The rise in salience of recently discussed or observed information, providing a heightened sensitivity in preparation for a subsequent observation of related stimuli, often resulting in a Cypriot coincidence.

Discussing Girl Scout cookies you realize that living in a city, you never see girl scouts. The heightened sensitivity of 'girl scouts' is the Cypriot Effect that perchance would result in the sighting of a girl scout in the city, a Cypriot Coincidence.

The Scorsese Effect

Named after filmmaker Martin Scorsese, the "Scorsese Effect" is when a work of art is created to negatively portray a character or group of people, but unintentionally inspires fans to try and imitate them. Usually these people misunderstand the point of the film and think the message was to try and be like the protagonist. Many of Scorsese's movies are centered around characters like these, such as "The Wolf of Wall Street," "Taxi Driver," and "Goodfellas".

Other examples include "Fight Club," "Breaking Bad," "The Sopranos," and the Joker.

Guy 1: Doesn't Mark understand the point of Fight Club was to show what can happen when men try to compartmentalize their anger and aggression into physical violence?

Guy 2: Yeah, it's the Scorsese Effect at work.

Mark: We live in a society.
