Amogus Effect is when you see something online you hate, like Amogus memes, and they start spreading everywhere, and people won't stop saying it, and it keeps spreading and you start going insane, at one point yelling "MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP", but then you lose all your sanity, and you laugh uncontrollably when you see those memes you hate. You embrace the meme, the meme controls you now.
Person 1: Bro wtf happened to you? You laugh like a maniac when you see among us memes
Person 2: The Amogus Effect consumed me. Amogus.
