The James Corden Effect

When the writer, songwriter, or prevalent actor inserts the self into a work they are not cut out for, talent-wise.

Named after English actor and talk show host James Corden because of the popular belief that he does not possess the ability to be in all the movie musicals that he, inevitably, stars in.
Lin Manuel Miranda is the embodiment of The James Corden effect, no one wants him there but he’s there because he created it.

Red Button Effect

The ubearable attraction to a dangerous/alluring object or situation. Very close to a drug addiction.

Applies to: sex, cliff-jumping, large red buttons that say "Do Not Push", hot girls bent over searching though their bags, stealing, etc.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.
Rob saw a shiny, red Ferarri with its door open and keys in the lock. I could see him shaking and knew he was having trouble resisting the Red Button Effect.

Little Jimmy Effect

The effect which states that the younger a person is, the harder it is to criticize them because others expect them to be ignorant of what they did wrong. Either this or the young person knows about this concept and are just pretending to seem ignorant. This effect lessens the older a person becomes. This was first coined by the Youtuber Racoon Eggs.

Austria-Hungary Effect

A psychological effect in which the victim is manipulated into thinking that the fake flag is the real and therefore the correct flag of a certain country. The name comes from the infamous Wikipedia edit war where users have deliberately put the civil-ensign flag of Austria-Hungary as the national flag even though Austria-Hungary didn't have the national flag.
I'm so sorry to hear that you have the Austria-Hungary Effect.

He thinks that the flag with a Kangaroo is the real flag of Australia, He probably has the Austria-Hungary Effect.

My students have recently complained about the flag I drew and said that it was not real. After some research, I discovered that this flag was never used and was made by some fan on r/vexillology. I have experienced the Austria-Hungary Effect.

Sir, given that the flag you saw was not real and you have been manipulated for years, you are diagnosed with the Austria-Hungary Effect.

The Morgan Freeman Effect

When you see a phrase related to a movie or TV show in text and you immediately hear the actors voice in your head as you read it.

Examples: "Hasta la Vista baby." "Say hello to my little friend." "Here's Johnny!" "Sickness must be purged."
The reason this is referred to as "The Morgan Freeman effect" is because Morgans voice is so distinct and ingrained in peoples memories that it is notoriously and extremely easy to recall when seeing his picture or reading a quote by him.
