john oliver effect

When you get a sexy text from a stranger and just as you set off the “wee woo wee woo boner alert 🚨” you then wonder to yourself if the text is actually from a scammer being held captive in Myanmar or Cambodia

Me: Hey, I just got a wrong number text from a really hot Russian girl
Boris: Oh yeah? What’s she look like?
Me: (shows my phone to my friend)
Boris: She’s hawt! Uh oh! Wee woo wee woo boner alert 🚨….. uh wait a minute
Me: oh no
Boris: yeah, this is John Oliver effect.

The Macarena Effect

When nobody knows the actual lyrics to a song, and they only like it because it sounds cool.

The Macarena Effect is, of course, named after the song of the same name. Most people only know two of the words in the entire song.
