the buffalo effect

Is when one buffalo leaves his smaller hunting pack in order to search for other dominant buffalo to create a super pack. Usually a lengthy process, this super pack works in together to achieve a common goal of supremacy of all other species in nearby land. Typically, the one buffalo who starts the super pack will more likely sacrifice himself to save the others from elimination.
When you see something that you have never seen before before your own eyes while awake but you know you've seen it sub-consciously in a dream or in sleep at a previous time and you say "That was the Buffalo effect" or when one person starts up a new way of conducting business & looks for others who are up to their superior level to start their own super-pack or society of alike business people to conduct affairs with. This is often a brutal journey with scores of smaller weaker buffalo left along the way.

The Flippity-Floppity-Floop Effect

When people (typically white people) start using the metaphors, cadence or slang of another culture simply because it sounds cool, and not because they are familiar with the culture. The effect occurs when the linguistic traits become widespread enough to become diluted and meaningless, and are dropped entirely by their originators.

The word "flippity-floppity-floop" came from South Park, when the issue of language gentrification was briefly touched on (whether intentional or not) in the episode "South Park is Gay". Wherein Chef describes how black people began using the word because white people started saying "hizzouse" and "hizzizouse", with the scene humorously ending with Mr. Garrison using the new word much to Chef's chagrin.

Early humor effect

The act of putting major adult innuendos and adult humor in a children’s show to the point where children growing up knowing more than just only stereotypical kiddie stuff.

Shows like the American animated TV series, Spongebob Squarepants, have this kind of humor.
The early humor effect is so amazing I wish all modern shows today had it than just gross fart jokes and potty humor which isn’t really funny.

The Appledew Effect

An effect that is present in many public relations campaigns involving polls or contests. The public, if presented with one, will vote for an option that is out of the ordinary or generally weird. This was seen in the Dub The Dew contest where the most voted option for the new Mtn Dew flavor name was "Hitler Did Nothing Wrong."
