The Davos effect refers to when two high status people walk towards each other with no idea who is higher or should get out of the other's way.
It happens in environments where there are very high status people but with no hierarchical context or idea of who the others are.
The term was coined for the World Economic Forum (WEF), held in Davos. Because high status attendees are not allowed to bring an entourage, no one knows who is higher in status and they habitually walk into each other because everyone refuses to give way.

Those two CEOs just showed the Davos Effect, they walked directly into each other, neither knew who should get out of the other's way!

The act of insisting that content is unfunny and boring has the unintended consequence of making that content even funnier and more interesting. A corollary to the Streisand Effect, which brings attention to content that’s attempted to be censored.
This comedy act demonstrates the Chappelle Effect: as funny as it is, it’s even funnier now that everyone says there’s nothing funny about it.

That moment when you go to the store only needing a few things, then end up leaving with a whole cart of stuff, typically not including the original item(s) you came for. This term is not exclusive to Costco and can be used for any store that manages to get you to fall into its consumerist trap.
"Dang, look at all this stuff we bought. I only needed a couple of things !"
"That's the Costco Effect for ya"
