The Anthony Fantano effect

Originated by YouTuber "Apandah", the Anthony Fantano effect is when you provide a valid number of reasons to to why you dislike someone or something, but people completely disregard your reasoning and instead fabricate their own reasons to why you dislike said thing.

Person 1: "I don't really understand the hype behind (game/movie). The concept is not that exciting and a large majority of the community is toxic, so I think I-

OMG - The Palmer Effect made Jill a lesbian, but she was fixed the next day by Alex. I explained the situation to him, and he agreed to expose her to the Alex Effect!

shampoo effect

A residual drug or alcohol phenomonon in which, during a period after a heavy binge, only a small amount of the recently-abused substance is needed to re-activate your buzz. So named after what happens in the shower when you "rinse and repeat": only a tiny bit of shampoo is needed the second time around to achieve a full sudsy lather.

"Man, I've only had one bloody mary and I feel buzzed!"

"Shampoo effect, dude. You were blasted last night."

Mull Effect

The effect that is felt right after the smoking of a mull.

This effect usually consists of the toker feeling light headed, very high and extremely relaxed. This state leaves the toker vulnerable.

Tokers will usually feel as if their heads are growing larger, colors will be more vibrant, and the high is instant.

WARNING: The high tobacco content makes muscles in the body to relax, please place the bong in a safe place directly after the snapping of a mull, or the bong WILL be broken.

Beau snapped a fat mull which gave him a gnarly mull effect, then he broke into the mall with Michael and turned on all the air conditioners and took all the keys to the bathrooms.

The Accordion Effect

This happens when you witness a line of traffic in which a bunch of dumb ass drivers are tailgating each other only to back off and repeat the process again. Characterized by people who brake constantly while driving and continuous speeding up and slowing down. It can be especially frustrating if this happens on the highway in the left lane when you are in a hurry and you don't want to get caught up or when it occurs on a single lane road where you are unable to pass. Resembles that of an accordion.

Looks like Steve is gonna be late to work again on the account of The Accordion Effect.

CSI effect

The CSI effect is a phenomenon that now frustrates the american legal system. Prospective jurors are beginning to have unrealistic expectations of forensic technique and expect airtight cases with slam-dunk convictions. While television makes things look easy(as always), the fact is, that forensic science involves excruciatingly long procedures(DNA testing takes days/weeks, not hours to do) and don't always produce conclusive results. Experts blame the popularity of the the television shows Law and Order and CSI(hence the name). The CSI effect also applies to criminals who attempt to cover up their crimes by countering techniques seen on television, such as shaving off body hair to prevent leaving DNA.

A possible sign of the CSI effect: American universities are experiencing a sharp increase in students studying forensic science. However, this may be as much due to the publicity of the OJ Simpson and Scott Peterson murder trials
