The misdirected rage generated by fans of a particular character when that character is killed off or replaced by someone else. Often the rage prevents them from giving a fair opinion of the new character. Originates from the BBC series Doctor Who, when fan favorite Rose Tyler was replaced with Martha Jones.
Example #1
“I hate Martha Jones so much!”
“Why?”
“Because she isn’t Rose Tyler!”
Example #2
“I hate Clara Oswin Oswald!”
“Why?”
“Because she isn’t Rory and Amy!”
“That’s the Martha Jones effect.”
“I hate Martha Jones so much!”

Get the The Martha Jones Effect mug.The Taylor Swift Effect is a phenomenon which occurred after Taylor Swift released her first album. Upon hearing this album, every girl between the ages of 11-20 who knew a few chords on an acoustic guitar declared themselves a singer-songwriter began to write billions of generic songs about breakups and jealousy, even if they had no singing ability or talent whatsoever. This phenomenon is still occurring today, and will continue for several years, until a new singer comes along that changes the trend from breakups to some new bland and generic topic.
"I went to a coffee house last night, and 90% of the performers were teenage girls singing crappy 3 chord songs about boys who blew them off."
"Classic Taylor Swift Effect bro. Get used to it, it's gonna be a while."

Get the The MC Virgins effect mug.(Noun) The fictional effect depicted in the movie Office Space wherein one is driving on the highway. The lane that you are currently in is moving slowly or not at all, but the lane next to you is going along just fine. You switch lanes, and then the new lane comes to a stop while the lane you were just in begins to move.
Driver: Argh! Why is this lane not moving? All the other ones are!
Passenger: Well why don't you switch lanes?
*Switches lanes and that lane stops*
Driver: We're still not getting anywhere and now that other lane is moving! Damn Office Space Effect!!!
Passenger: Well why don't you switch lanes?
*Switches lanes and that lane stops*
