beneficial side effect

Faced with the global COVID-19 pandemic, hostilities between nations seem to have vanished.

We are all in it together, all human and vulnerable to the same degree. If there can be a beneficial side effect to a devastating pandemic, it may be this awareness.

The marley and me effect

When a couple gets a new puppy with the aim (whether they know it or not) of putting off having children. But then ultimately get pregnant within the next year.

"Did you hear that Michael and his wife got a new puppy? Looks like they are suffering from the Marley and me effect!"

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.

Assange-Snowden effect

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.

Get the Assange-Snowden effect mug.

When a show or movie is downright awful 90% of the time. But when a funny joke from said show is posted online without context, people start to believe the show isn't complete shit, but instead some misunderstood gem.

The Family Guy Effect -
TV Show: *Makes slightly clever joke*
Random Internet user: "Wow that's so funny, I should share it online"
Other Internet users: "Man this is funny, I wonder why people give this show such a hard time."
