The Mother Effect

When a girlfriend smothers and subjugates her boyfriend by taking the roll of his mother. Leaving the boyfriend to act like a child and grow immature. The boyfriend then is often found craving the attention of the "mother" (girlfriend) causing a dependent and unhealthy relationship.
Because Hannah has used "The Mother Effect" on her lover John, he has become a man-child.

The "Shots" Effect

Whenever the song "Shots" LMFAO ft Lil Jon comes on the radio, your iPod, your iTunes, or whatever really, you must immediately bust out shot glasses and take atleast one shot before the song is over (preferably during the "shots" chorus) no matter what you are doing.
Angie and Joie were sitting around the kitchen table doing important papers when the song "Shots" came on Angie's iTunes. They immediately felt The "Shots" Effect and proceeded to do a peppermint patty shot right then and there.

007 Effect

The 007 Effect (also called James Bond Effect) is a theory in propaganda and political circles, whereby the first detailed opinion/summary that someone hears or reads on a particular topic, is the one they are most likely to adopt.

Called the 007 Effect - in reference to the James Bond character - as there is highly anecdotal evidence that the first actor someone sees play the chacater of James Bond, is the one they prefer (i.e. someone who saw their first Bond film in the 1960's will tell you Sean Connery played the best Bond, however those that saw their first Bond film in the 1990's will tell you Pierce Brosnan is the best).
Mike: Hey, John I hear that Dave got fired? You guys had lunch all the time didn't you?
John: Yeah, he was let go last week. The wierd thing is our Manager keeps going on about why he got fired - showing me emails and letters. If you ask me, that's just wrong - that's confidential information.
Mike: Well, that's the 007 Effect for you. Management know that you will probably catch up with Dave sometime soon.

Hulu Effect

When you see a commercial so many times, you start to hate the product even if you used to be an avid fan before.

Hulu typically displays the same ads to people for 2-3 weeks in a row, making it's viewers go insane.
"I have seen the same Toyota ad so many times on Hulu that I wish all Toyotas would explode."
