Homer Simpson effect

When bad situations seem alright, because the person is so stupid they don't realize the consequences or degree of shittyness... just like Homer Simpson.
Just go see the Simpsons movie.

Broke, shit job, girlfriend gone, car towed, getting evicted and still cool with the situation. If you also failed grade 9, you may be suffering from the Homer Simpson effect.

Reverse Cheerleader Effect

When one mediocre/ugly girl is surrounded by several ugly girls and looks more attractive then she is. Because of her surroundings she will be perceived to be more hot then she would be if looked apart.
Al: Dude that blond in the project meeting was really hot. I would like to have a late meeting alone with her on a Friday night.

Mike: Al, you are an idiot and a clusterfuck. She is butt ugly, you are just blinded by the reverse cheerleader effect. Because she is surrounded by ugly girls you think she is hot.

The effect that a single well known intellectual property can have on determining the long term success of a platform in a launch environment.

Similar to how Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild proved that the Nintendo Switch (which at the time people that it was going to suck like the Wii U) can sell units just by the intellectual properties in their library alone.
The launching title for this new console that’s about to come out has the breath of the wild effect, I need to go buy it so that I can play that game.

The Page 3 Effect is the phenomenon that on any online forum large enough, almost any thread will be derailed by page 3. Occurs most often in threads about touchy subjects, both serious (politics, AIDS, etc.) to stupid (Which class is overpowered in TF2, meme's, general flaming, etc.)
"Hey man, what happened to my thread?"

"Oh, it got locked because the Page 3 Effect kicked in."
