The River Effect

When one individual within a team or group speaks first during a presentation, however during their speaking they cover all of the notes which were meant to be covered by the group as a whole. This generally renders the rest of the group in a awkward and unpleasant situation of not having any information to contribute to the discussion.
River, Dave, and Alex are all presenting a project on elephants. They have a 2 page summary of notes.
River is the first to speak, and in his brief time speaking he covers all 2 pages of notes. This leaves the rest of the group with nothing to say.

This is "The River Effect" , everyone else in the group is stuck awkwardly stumbling for things to say or contribute.

The Harrison Ford Effect

A common phenomenon where a person's most famous artwork, video, movie role, or other creation/appearance in media is incidentally their least favorite, and the person in question inevitably grows to hate said work as it becomes the sole thing they are known for.

The term is named after actor Harrison Ford, who has famously expressed his distaste for the Star Wars franchise after decades of only ever being seen as "the guy who played Han Solo."
A: "John setting his YouTube video to 'private' is just another case of the Harrison Ford effect. He's ready to move on from it."
B: "But it had over a million views!"
A: "That doesn't mean he enjoys hearing about it all the time."
