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.

In any competition, when the receiver of second place or a runner-up ends up becoming more successful than the actual winner. This is open to interpretation, of course.
Typically associated with the case of Clay Aiken on American Idol, who didn't actually win, but who has become a more commonly-heard name than winner Ruben Studdard.

Billy ended up becoming a CEO, even though he got second place in the science fair in 4th grade. The first place winner, Paul, lives in his grandma's basement. This is an example of the Clay Aiken Effect.

The effect one has when they see something that looks so good and awesome, they must have it, taste it, see it, etc. The moment they do, they are disappointed eventually. Based off of the movie Sucker Punch.
Ohhh that candy looks so good!!
A while later...
Ahh this candy sucks! I hate the 'Sucker Punch' effect!

It's a player's worst nightmare. After being exposed to all kind of sluts for several years, one can't no longer tell the difference between a whore and a nice girl. Individuals suffering from the Kanye effect might end up tying the knot with a woman of low morals, a.k.a a slut.
Rapper Kanye West scored numerous sluts in the past and ended up marrying a whore (Kim Kardashian). This phenomenon is known as The Kanye Effect.
