When a man tries to use the restroom, such as in a urinal, and another man walks in and begins speaking, breaking Male Bathroom Etiquette. The first man's stream then begins to stop flowing, and begin, as the second man starts and stops talking.
Man #1: *urinating*
Man #2: *urinating* Hey, Bob.
Man #1: *stops urinating* Stop talking, you're giving me the stopwatch effect.
Man #2: *urinating* Hey, Bob.

the Tudor Ivan effect is a nonconformist phenomenon with aphrodisiac intentions applied to a partner of the opposite sex with the intention of initiating or simmering the man towards a sweet game of cards.
Person 1: Idk man she has everything, like personality, good tastes and large balconies. But today she ghosted me and I am mad.
Person 2: Oh no you just gotten the Tudor Ivan Effect lmao.

The phenomenon where an individual’s natural charm, charisma, and radiant energy irresistibly draw people in, creating widespread admiration, loyalty, and even devotion. Those under the Jacques Effect often form fanbases, friendships, or followings without the person even trying.
We planned a quiet party, but once Maya walked in, the Jacques Effect took over and it turned into a full-on rager.

You know, it’s the Dan Quayle effect. You know, he won the second time — I mean, lost the second time, he got to run.

When you watch anime for the first time or are watching a new series jojo's bizarre adventure you may experience an effect which I coined as the 'The anime effect'
Symptoms include:
Can't stop thinking about anime
Your imagination is plagued by anime, for example you may be thinking about killing your annoying teacher. However now you think about it in anime
Everything you do will be experienced as an anime training montage
All thinks you experience will be unconsciously narrated in your head
When you imagine talking to somebody, you may talk in something that resembles Japanese in your head with subtitles

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 A Hunger Games Effect in full force, where he dies so suddenly, it’s almost comical.

questioning the feeling of being in the wrong place when in a group or social get together, while inadvertently not having a point of reference while the parties chat away like old times, while you sip on your pint and think after 10minutes, this is a bit weird
going out with your boy/girl friend who still sees / communicates with the ex-partner on a regular basis, whilst inadvertently receiving the 3rd party effect when in social outings or arrangements that make you feel like you need not be there
