Fey Effect

When a comedian makes a negative political ad disguised as a comedy piece to encourage the average viewer to pay attention and be more open to receiving and considering the criticism embedded within the humor; specifically, the Fey Effect is when this bit has an important, lasting effect on real world politics.

It comes from Tina Fey's impression of Sarah Palin on Saturday Night Live, which negatively affected the public's opinion of Palin.

The Fey Effect is partly responsible for Palin's relevancy declining significantly in the past 10 years.
