Referring to that creepy "almost real but not quite" look when too much 3D graphics is used to enhance movie object. This term comes from the movie Beowulf (2007) where 3D gives Ray Winstone, Angelina Jolie and other actors a very creepy, nearly-real-but-still-fake appearance.
"I hate it when those movie produces use WAY too much 3D in their movies... it makes the actors look creepy."
"Like the Beowulf Effect?"
"Exactly!"

A group or person who will not consider another person's opinion as valid due to their age; i.e. they are younger so their opinion is invalid.
I'm big you're little, and there is nothing you can do about it. This would be an example of the Trunchbull Effect.

A shitty series of videos on YouTube where people slap random filters onto a logo (usually Klasky Csupo) and call them effects.
