The Buns Effect

When someone shocks and impresses their audience by doing or saying something so bold, unexpected, or outlandish that people can’t believe what just happened. It’s that moment where everyone pauses, processes it, and then reacts with a mix of disbelief and hype.

It usually happens in social settings, online content, gaming streams, debates, or any situation where someone pulls off something so wild it instantly steals the spotlight.
“Bro really hit us with the Buns Effect during that stream — nobody saw that coming.”
Or:
“She pulled the Buns Effect in the meeting and had the whole room stunned.”

The Shockwave Effect

When you get into something through a fanwork and don't realise that fanwork is not accurate to canon.
The Megatron I read about is such a good dude compared to canon; the Shockwave Effect is real.
