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.

Calancea's effect

When the internet connection is too slow, it because there is a guy on the same network who is downloading 3 GB file/movie/package.

Your friend: Damn, the internet is so slow, I can't even open Youtube.
You: Bro, it's Calancea's effect, let's find and beat this guy.

The Mel Gibson Effect

When a celebrity loses their prior popularity due to an unpopular expression of an opinion,

Person 1: Man, my friend James used to be so popular, but after he called that guy a faggot, everyone started shit-talking him.
Person 2: Yeah, classic case of the Mel Gibson effect.

The Commodore Effect

Going to your mates house for a few too many, passing out then waking up at 4:15 in the morning, realising you have to get up for work at 6 and going home. Skulling back half a litre of milk and having a tactical nap before work.
Usually not speaking from experience or anything.

Wow, did you see frogface last night? He had the commodore effect! What a legend.
