The effect of a person appearing more attractive due to being surrounded by ugly friends
Demonstrated, but not referred to as such, in the film hall pass.
The effect can be reduced by removing the friends from your field of view i.e with your hands.
similar but subtly different is the 'Hugh Hefner effect' where surrounding yourself with more beautiful people of the opposite sex in turn increases your own attractiveness.

Both together: Teeth?!

Get the the lebron james effectmug. after drinking a bottle of Rip Tide (tastes like carbonated Propel), when you become seriously hyper and crazy. Happens in three stages:
pre-effect: when you first start drinking the Rip Tide, and you get this weird giddy feeling.
effect: not long after you finish the bottle,all the sudden you get really hyper. This stage includes inappropiate jokes, lots of giggling, random bursts of dancing, and other assorted silliness. May last anywhere between 10 minutes and two hours.
post-effect: depending on you, this could be one of two things. either, you just go back to normal, or you expeirence total system shut-down. During total-system shut-down, you'll feel groggy and have trouble concentrating on anything in particular. WARNING!!! It is possible to fall asleep during this stage!
Often happens to middle school students during their lunch period.

Get the Rip Tide Effectmug. When you can tell which objects in an animated film or video game are supposed to be picked up or manipulated by a character because they "pop out" from the rest of the scene. The effect is achieved by: (a.) making the stand-out object brighter,
(b.) making it a different shade of color than similar surrounding objects, or (c.) in the case of video games, making the object shiny or pulsing with light (intentional scooby doo effect).
The original effect was an unintended side-effect of cel animation. Animators would use the same slides over and over for static backgrounds and place the animation slides over them (e.g. the same picture of a room will be used for several hundred frames because the room never moves, but the characters have to be redrawn each frame with new slides).
The inconsistency of color and brightness between the new painted slides and the original background slide causes the animated object to stand out from the background. The Scooby Doo cartoon was a particularly noteworthy example of this effect in practice.
