The Bayverse Effect

When a (usually live action) adaptation of a popular cartoon is hated and it's redeeming qualities are ignored because the fans of the cartoon are stubborn and do not like their favorite show being rebooted.
"Dude, the Michael Bay transformers movies were shit"
"They had some redeeming qualities despite the writing, the designs were actually really cool, you're just too used to the original blocky designs. Classic case of The Bayverse Effect."

The bread pudding effect

When you make a recipe for your friends or family that turns out a bit *too* good. They then associate you with said recipe and insistently demand that you make it for them at as many special occasions as possible. It can become very annoying very quickly.

Named after a dessert called bread pudding, praised for its simplicity and incredible flavor.
1: "UUGHHH! I hate the bread pudding effect!"
2: "Uh... what?"
1: "I made some bread pudding for my sister's birthday party last week. It turned out incredibly well, but now it's all she ever talks about with me! She keeps asking me to make more of it for her and asking me to bring some to more events and... ugh, it's so annoying."
2: "Bread pudding is indeed really quite nice! Ya know... you could probably persuade her to pay you for more of it in the future."
1: "That-- ...that's not a bad idea, actually. Hm!"

The Hunger Games Effect

An effect often seen in books of the dystopian genre where the author inserts a slew of unfortunate, jarring events that leave the reader astonished and speechless, especially if a beloved character dies suddenly with little time to grieve.
In the book Mockingjay, from The Hunger Games Trilogy, the death of the character Finnick Odair shows The Hunger Games Effect in full force, where he dies so suddenly, it’s almost comical.

The Floyd Effect

Short for "The George Floyd Effect". When a population has an extreme reaction to an isolated incident involving only a few people out of hundreds of millions of people, usually due to media focus and sensationalization.
After further research into the issue, I feel that the widespread protests and violence are yet another great example of The Floyd Effect.
