Person A turns around the paper sheet. "Hey, this looks easy"
Person B: "What the Fuck?!"
Person C "Looks like he got the WTF effect"

The Boyle Effect

The surprise and delight experienced when something is significantly better than originally anticipated. As per Susan Boyle on Britain’s Got Talent. The judges and audience expected a poor performance based on Susan’s frumpy appearance, but once they heard her beautiful voice – were completely overwhelmed and duly erupted into rapturous applause. If Susan had been more ‘visually appealing’, they would have expected a good performance, and consequently been less moved by the experience.

Real Estate Agent: Gotta love The Boyle Effect.... works every time!
