pac-man principle

The political principle where whether you go far left or far right, if you go too far in either direction, like Pac-Man, you will end up on the other side which is always a dictatorship.

Hitler was a socialist but moved so far left on government control that, because of the Pac-Man Principle, he came out on the right as a fascist and wound up ultimately as a dictator.

Mona Lisa Principle

The notion that while there isn't necessarily something wrong with someone/something, the two elements aren't a match.

"Dude, why did y'all break up?"
"Classic Mona Lisa Principle. She was beautiful, mysterious, and intriguing, but (pointing to my brain) didn't match a damn thing in my house."

The Franchise-Principle

When a song sucks the first time you listen to it but after listening more often it turns out to be actually fire.
Just like the Song FRANCHISE by Travis Scott.

The song „...“ is a perfect example for The Franchise-Principle.
