When an unintelligent, unskilled individual overestimates their competency and thinks they are smarter, and can perform better, than they actually can. The opposite of the Tim Effect
It seems like all of Ohio suffers from the Jenny Effect- they all think they are smart and can compete with the West Coast, despite their woefully low IQ.

Get the The Jenny Effectmug. When you eat some spicy food (and even worse if you have collitis too), and then 20 minutes later brown water shoots out of your ass, and the smell overwhelms everything within a 50 foot radius. Similar to a Monkey Claw.
That sunuvabitch Tom had Taco Bell for lunch and just crapped his pants, so everyone is vomiting from The Kitten Effect.

Get the kitten effectmug. When something terrible surprises you when it turns out to be mediocre, thereby juxtaposing the aforementioned terrible something making it appear brilliant.
Susan Boyle is a fugly man-woman. Her singing voice, however, is very average. Because she is so damn ugly, this surprised everyone into thinking her singing voice was angelic. It isn't.
Steve: The Wizard of Oz was a great film...
James: No it isn't. It just appears that way because it was made in a period when all other films were in black and white.
Steve: Aah, the Susan Boyle Effect!

Get the The Susan Boyle Effectmug. A soon to be kick ass game that falls from space and apparently lands in 150 foot tall trees in Santa Cruz.
Nerdy Fan 1: Hey dude, climb up that tree and get the mass effect 3 space edition for me all the way at the top.
Nerdy Fan 2: Can it wait for a bit, I'm in the middle of some calibrations.
Nerdy Fan 3: Sorry, I have to go.

Get the mass effect 3mug. The hindering effect that the lack of acting prowess possessed by one Nicholas Cage has on any movie in which Nicholas Cage performs. It is identified by the lack of variation between any of the characters portrayed by this actor leaving all of his characters relatively ambiguous and uninteresting. Also when a character is brought up in common conversation, it is nearly indiscernible which character they are talking about.
"Hey did you go see that new Nicholas Cage movie where he could see the future?"
"Oh yeah, "Next," I didn't really enjoy that one."
"Yeah, me neither, but I was talking about "Knowing.""
An example of the Nicholas Cage Effect would result by watching any Nicholas Cage Movie, and then make a check-list. Does he have long flowing hair? Does he do a lot of epic running? Does he carry a flashlight? Does his face start on fire? Does he see the future? Most of the items listed above are usually true of any Nicholas Cage movie allowing you to see the future that the Nicholas Cage movie you are currently watching is probably going to be a colossal waste of your time.

Get the The Nicholas Cage Effectmug. The phenomenon whereby a person, having watched a biopic or documentary about a legendary musician or band suddenly becomes a die-hard fan of the artist in question.
All this fuss about Elton John off the back of "Rocket Man" is a prime example of the Bohemian Rhapsody Effect

Get the Bohemian Rhapsody Effectmug. person 1: yo, she is really 25? she looks younger!
