Misused Autopilot Effect

This effect happens when consumers of a product (such as DAIN App or especially Telsa Autopilot) incorrectly uses a product, and unknowingly damages the reputation of certain software or products. The most notable case is Telsa's autopilot, where people are negligent and recklessly drive and get into accidents, damaging the reputation and credibility of those consumer products from news outlets reporting on these incidents.
James: "Ugh, another case of the misused autopilot effect! I wish people would start paying more attention while driving!"
Adam: "Yeah, isn't negligent driving, like, illegal?
James: "It is. It really is."

This comes from the depression and misery & rollercoaster of negative emotions that comes with being employed with Wal-Mart. Every employee that works their way up in the store, undoubtedly, experiences The Wal-Mart Effect. Fattys.
Friend 1: Hey buddy, you've gained some weight since I seen you last!

Manager: Go wash the windows.
Employee: Whatever you fat loser, if you don't kill yourself, The Wal-Mart Effect will claim you, fat ass.

Rollercoaster Effect

A type of cognitive bias where a person will miss a lot of details the first time they experience something, and only catch those details and fully enjoy the experience when experiencing it for a second or even third time. This is due to the person being in a state of shock and strong emotion as things are constantly catching them by surprise. The name comes from the fact that this effect is most commonly and famously known to occur on intense rollercoasters.

Boombox Effect

This very rarely occurs when you play the "Chicken Dance" in a very conveniently plain field with a single tree in the state of Nevada, optionally needs a dancer in the background. Approached by a man, you must push him to complete the objective, however this will result in your untimely demise at the hands of said man, named Hank J. Wimbleton. Fortunately, your legacy will result in 12 episodes that escalate from fighting Jeb (jesus but not really), to a sheriff, a clown who breaks the laws of physics seeking vengeance, and a demon.

At the time of writing, this currently has only been attempted once, with great success.
