Get the Dunning Kruger Effect mug.The effect from drinking 16oz cans of beer, then switching to "normal" 12oz cans. Which in turn brings on the effect of a 12oz can to seem even smaller than it's normal 12oz size.

Get the 16 Ounce Effect mug.Movie theaters have a very simple etiquette. Don't talk, silence your phone & keep it put away. Be mindful & respectful to others. At first it was harmless, people would briefly clap to a Stan Lee cameo and continue with the movie. As marvel movies got more popular so did clapping for Stan Lee cameos which went on longer than it should and this is where the Stan Lee effect began. It became obnoxiously normal for people to lose their shit when Stan Lee was on screen to where movie etiquette was completely forgotten. And now the Stan Lee effect has spread to different movies for example Shazam! After a really cool reveal one guy started clapping really loudly then the whole theater started clapping and continued to clap over a few seconds of dialogue. That's TOO MUCH CLAPPING! JUST CLAP AT THE END!
"Why the fuck is everybody clapping? I can't hear what's happening in the movie!"
"It's the Stan Lee Effect, some of these people might be genuine fans but most of these people are just clapping because someone else is, or they wanted to feel special and start a clap wave."
"This isn't even a marvel movie!"

Get the The Stan Lee Effect mug.The theory that excessive watching of the car programme "top gear" by middle aged men can descend into the urge to attend decadent, homoerotic gatherings at car show rooms where men perform sexual role plays based on the relationship of the three presenters and fuck the exhausts of expensive cars.
The Top Gear Effect: "Have been binge watching Top Gear repeats on Dave recently and I keep having this really disturbing dream where I'm out riding horses in the desert dressed as a cowboy with Jeremy Clarkson and then when we pitch a tent. for a night... well I don't want to repeat that part of the dream."

Get the The Top Gear Effect mug.The nightmare situation where a gardener cuts away at plants, killing them, convinced they know what's a weed and what's not, but they really have no clue, and don't even know that they don't know!
Note: This is a combination of gardening, the Dunning-Kruger effect which is when someone is ignorant about their own lack of knowledge so they don't even know what that don't know but think they know it all, and the Nightmare on Elm Street films featuring Freddy Krueger who kills people in their nightmare .

The garden was decimated by that idiot gardener who obviously suffers from the Gardening-Krueger Effect.

Get the Gardening-Krueger Effect mug.When a person intentionally self degrades or humiliates themself in order to make them the center of attention temporarily; often derived from a root to fuel a certain sense of narcism.

"Oh my God, look at me! I'm such a horrible dancer! I can't even boogie right!"
