The desire to crack a joke, or make an immature / sarcastic comment, especially during an inappropriate moment; named after Chandler Bing from "Friends"
A prime example of the Chandler effect:
The Interviewer: So let’s talk a little bit about your duties.
Chandler: (nervous) My duties? (Trying not to crack a joke) All right.
The Interviewer: Now you’ll be heading a whole division, so you’ll have a lot of duties.
Chandler: (trying not to laugh) I see.
The Interviewer: But there’ll be perhaps 30 people under you so you can dump a certain amount on them.
Chandler: (really try not to laugh) Good to know.
The Interviewer: We can go into detail…
Chandler: No don’t I beg of you!

Get the Chandler mug.He is really short. He is nice at first but ratty behind your back. He has two pet rats that he makes have sex so he can beat his dick. He is very similar to a Chad. His proud achievement is that he ate out banana man. He smells like cheap cologne. His weapon of choice is calling people queer.
You're a chandler.
