The Sarah Silverman Effect

When everyone remembers someone as being funny or relevant, but either that person hasn't been funny in YEARS or they never have been.

Gal: "I love how Sarah Silverman stays funny and topical"
Guy: "Name the last funny thing that Sarah SIlverman did..."
Gal: "That Matt Damon song was kinda funny.. and that Mr. Show stuff.."
Guy: "The Matt Damon song wasn't funny and that was 2008.. Mr. Show was the mid-90s, and she was the only unfunny person on there.."
Gal: "Oh jeez, you're right.. The Sarah Silverman Effect strikes again."

Soccer sandal effect

(noun) - The over-reaching and yet inexplicably clever marketing gimmick of labeling and identifying a product (or person) with an often inaccurate, "cool-sounding", or "trendy" description so that the product/person, which would ordinarily be thought of as unattractive, unskilled, and/or worthless, now seems "hot".

See also soccer sandal.

"Super-star" Ashlee Simpson, "actress" Paris Hilton, or "TomKat" are three examples of the "soccer sandal effect".

The Ann Coulter Effect

The longer the media goes without mentioning the perpetrator's race, the less likely it's going to be white.

Has the media not mentioned the perpetrator's race in a while? It's probably The Ann Coulter Effect in place and the perp is less likely to going to be white.
