When you’re a super smart person that hangs out with too many “regular” people and therefore lose your intelligence
“Riya, why did you get a 95 on that history test? Maybe if you didn’t go out to dinner with your commoner friends you could’ve gotten 100.”
^ meanwhile the “commoners” are just other people the same age as you
This is the commoner effect

The effect by which individuals with mundane names appear with frequency in standings for the sake of subversion due to their names.
“Dread the evil emperor Bouthazar the Conquerer, and his most feared right hand man: Greg.” Is an example of the Verstag Effect.

Basically when something Fanon like a theory, character, idea, etc gets introduced to a fandom that people think that the Fannon character, theory, idea, etc is canon. Hence the name CANON FANON EFFECT. A "canon" theory, character, etc.
There are two variations to look at this effect. Oblivious or Disregard
Disregard: When people are aware that this character, theory, idea, etc isn't canon. But treat said character, show, theory, idea, etc as if it was canon.
Example: The Creepypasta Fandom often draws Slender man with the operator symbol in the background or most times anything really related to Slender man and sometimes even referrers to it as the operator. Even though the fandom knows that the operator and Slender man aren't the same entity.
Oblivious: When someone isn't aware that said idea, theory, character, etc isn't canon.
Example: The Creepypasta fandom thinks that Eyeless Jack has an origin in which he was used in a sacrifice to become a monster. Even though he never had an origin, to begin with.

Guy1: Hey man your drawing sans eye wrong. It supposed to be glowing with a flame.
Female1: Actually sans never had shown to have a glowing or flaming eye, just one that switches colors really fast.
Guy1: Wait, really? then why does the fandom draw it whenever he's mad or using gaster blasters?!
Female1: Must be the Canon Fanon Effect.

When you see someone from far away and think that they're attractive, but on closer inspection realize that they are really, *really* not.
This is like Mt. Fuji in Japan--beautiful from far away, but ugly, dirty, cold, and generally uninhabitable once you get close to it.
Also known as the Mt. Fuji Effect or the Fuji-san Effect.

On arriving at a party:
Girl #1: Ooo, that guy's pretty hot.
Girl #2: You think?
But when they get closer:
Girl #1: Oh, no, never mind. Fuji Effect.
Girl #1: Ooo, that guy's pretty hot.

The Numark effect is when a weight scale says someone is significantly more heavier than their actual weight. This effect gets it's name from a man named Numark, who is known for being fat and heavy when in reality he isn't.
I once experienced the "Numark effect" while getting my weight checked, the scale said I was 284 kg when in reality I was around 73 kg.
