When a series is over-hyped to such an extent where most people believe it can't possibly be good, but actually manages to live up to the hype.

Get the The Death Note Effectmug. Refers to the popularity of any given artist based mostly upon the samples taken from their songs, or remixes by other musicians of that artists songs. In these cases, the remix will often times be more popular than the Artists original song.

Get the chia pet effectmug. A term for the sensation felt by audiences while watching films or television shows with poorly written plots. The "Make-Believe" Effect creates the feeling that, rather than being developed by a professional writing team, a film's storyline was thought up on the spot by children playing make believe (likely during school recess).
The effect has a variety of causes, such as plot holes, use of cliches, unconvincing acting, obvoius plot armor surrounding important characters, or events in the storyline that seem too convenient. This effect is most commonly experienced by individuals viewing blockbuster action, sci-fi, and superhero films.
Longterm exposure to the "Make-Believe" Effect can lead to a variety of symptoms, including:
- Sudden rise in blood pressure.
- Profound depression upon realizing that the American film industry has gone creatively bankrupt.
- Loss of balance.
- Deeply held resentment towards the actors, directors, and companies profiting from the creation of such poorly
written films.
- A sense of isolation among individuals who lack the ability to critically evaluate what they're watching.
Unsurprisingly, researchers have discovered that dumb people possess a natural immunity to the "Make-Believe" effect.
If you think you are experiencing longterm symptoms of the "Make-Believe" effect, experts recommend abstaining from films belonging to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, going outside, or reading books for a change you stupid oaf.

Get the the chilly willy effectmug. The natural increase of homework and difficulty in classes throughout the year, peaking near the end of the third quarter. This is due to the increase in difficulty of the curriculum and the compilation and compounding of concepts. The peak comes before review for finals, when the last few sections of material for class are given to students.
Also, many projects and term papers are given or due near the third quarter peak.
