Comic sans effect

When something is good, but looks a lot worse because of the way people treat it. Like how people hate comic sans because of people misusing the font.
The Comic sans effect completely ruined the killer clown's scariness for me.

When someone carries out an accusation and is accused of the same fault.
Robert says someone in the other class stole Emma's phone and has been accused of being the thief. There's an Assange-Snowden effect going on here.

The Weezer Survivor Effect

When you start campaigning so strongly against a song you like perfectly fine that it begins to appear as if you loathe it, all because it is endangering a song you like far better in a round of Weezer Survivor. Eventually you will have argued so strongly against this song in attempt to save the song you love more that even though you might have categorized it as "very good" before its placement in Weezer Survivor, it is now simply "Just okay".
The complete process of The Weezer Survivor Effect:
Step 1: You think No One Else is a very good song.
Step 2: No One Else beats songs you like way more in Weezer Survivor.
Step 3: You complain that No One Else is not better than the songs you like more.
Step 4: You begin to give reasons No One Else is not that great.
Step 5: You now think No One Else is an okay song at best.
Step 6: "Damn, The Weezer Survivor Effect got me again."
*Replace No One Else with any Weezer song that fits*

Pen Cap Effect

Pen Cap Effect - When a male of the human species has an erection while laying down and tries to roll over from ones back to his stomach and is stopped by ones erection either way he rolls thus resembles the way of a "Pen Cap" would roll being stopped by the part of the pen cap in which you use to hold your pen to a sheet of paper or the pocket of your shirt.
Jon: Man I couldn't get comfy last night.

Kylie: Why not?

Jon: Well I wanted to lay on my stomach but every time I tried to roll over I would get the Pen Cap Effect and would be afraid it would break or something.

Kylie: Oh dear...

The Mnemonic Effect in Advertising

This effect results in the way the brain works, when viewing any advertisement.

The less relevant the message is to the viewer, the more likely it is for him to start thinking of the products or services he is already using.

This might create a buying decision, but not the one the advertiser is expecting.

Advertising incorrectly can actually stimulates the sales of the advertisers competition.
E.g. Your driving your car and hear a pizza commercial on the radio.

You might think of the advertiser, but if you know this commercial your more likely to ask yourself if your hungry, then if you feel like pizza, and if so, then you'll probably order pizza from your favorite pizza place, which might not be the one that is advertised.

In the end you might even end up buying a burger instead. In this case the commercial just reminded you that you were hungary.

And this is how the mnemonic effect in advertising works

snow day effect

The extreme joy of knowing you can go back to bed because school/work has been cancelled, but you can't because you're so excited to have the day off.
I was dead tired today and needed a nap, but I couldn't because I had to work. But then my shift got cancelled--I have the night off, and now I can't sleep. Snow day effect strikes again!
