The effect of someone or something getting infinitely better/more badass/awesome within a short space of time, similar to how a Magikarp can evolve from a horrifically weak pokemon into a Gyarados, which is very powerful.
Amanda: Hey, have you noticed how Neville in the Harry Potter films is now really hot?
Jill: Yup, it's the Gyarados Effect.
Jill: Yup, it's the Gyarados Effect.

A brain infection that causes a person suffering from it to be physically incapable of admitting a mistake. Saying phrases such as "I was wrong" or "I must have misremembered" create an acute sensation of pain, so the sufferer will do everything they can to avoid speaking those words. A common symptom is the invention of fanciful theories about a Parallel Universe and/or Time Travel to explain away memory lapses. This is a communicable disease. As of yet a cure has not been discovered, though taking a break from one's smart phone and/or computer and taking a walk outside does seem to soften the severity of the symptoms somewhat.
Billy: Yo, what's up with Jimmy? Have you noticed that he can never admit when he's wrong about something, even when it's super obvious?
Zachariah: Don't be too hard on him, Billy, he has the Mandela Effect. His brain is all messed up.
Billy: Ouch, poor bastard! I guess I'm going to have to avoid him until he gets better -- the last thing I need right now is to catch that too.
Zachariah: Smart idea.

When a game company lucks out with smash hit game, and then proceeds to crank out worthless clones of the game, cleverly disguising them as "sequels." A prime example is CapCom's MegaMan BattleNetwork series for Game Boy Advance, which began as a launch title for the handheld in 2001, but quickly became an incredibly long "series" of games that are all essentially the same game. Of course, the same thing could be applied to Nintendo and Game Freak's popular Pokemon series for Game Boy, GBA, and the DS.

When a group of two or more males, each with a slight tendency to be an individual douche, are gathered together in a space, the likelihood of each individual to feed off of each other and act extremely douchey is greatly increased, thus enacting the douchebag effect. The douchebag effect can occur in any situation, however it is most likely to occur when there is a group of attractive females around, or when there are zero females around and the testosterone levels are too high. The range of individual douchebaggyness can range from very small to extremely large, however individual douche levels are usually set aside because the douchebag effect overpowers individuality. The only way to not be sucked into the douchebag effect is to in face have zero percent douchebag in one’s system to begin with.
"Kyle, Steve, and Mikey are all fine to hang around with one on one, but when they get together in a group the douchebag effect occurs and it's unbearable to be around them."
