Get the "To Wong Fu" effect mug.The Betty White Effect is a phenomenon that occurs when a celebrity (usually an unlikely one) becomes wildly popular or notorious again overnight. This phenomenon usually occurs on Twitter primarily through retweeting.
From Twitter, it progresses to reach late night shows like Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Fallon and sometimes Jay Leno. Becoming a meme of its own and lasting for a good 15 minutes of renewed fame/notoriety.
