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.

Milano Cookie Effect

The feeling that one SHOULD feel satisfied, but for some reason they don't feel satisfied. Similar feelings are evoked by watching anything on Netflix. On the surface it APPEARS like the real thing, but a little bit of analysis it is clearly fake.

Another stupid show on Netflix! Feels like the Milano Cookie Effect.

Creating an amazing game that can then allow the producers to spawn a series of shitter games and still make profit

Chuck Norris Effect

When someone's legacy is exaggerated beyond what they actually did.

Widely known people whose legacies are affected by the Chuck Norris Effect include:

Chuck Norris. Do an online search for "Chuck Norris facts".

North Korean leadership post-Korean war. Kim Jong-il propaganda told that he averaged 2-3 hole-in-ones per round of golf played, that he invented the idea of using 3 cameras at once to film a movie to save time (in the 1960s), and that he was born on a sacred mountain. All of which are not true or impossible.

Jesus. A man who did many great deeds and brought forth new humanistic philosophies was exaggerated to have fed thousands with only a few loaves of bread, to have performed many inexplicable miracles, to have ascended to heaven while alive after being resurrected after death, etc. The stories of his life were historically recorded several decades after they actually occurred leaving time for word of mouth to allow his legend to grow.

Babe Ruth. Watch the film "The Babe". Search online for historical inaccuracies within the movie.
