William Shatner

When you've been holding in a big shit, and before you can even sit down, the pressure of bending over causes immediate uncontrolable shit explosion, that in turn sticks to the back of the toilet and when flushed does NOT go any where.

The Shatner Effect

Distinguishes between films made for a theatrical experience and movies made for television by assessing the performance of the actors in a non-qualitative but descriptive manner. Originates from the distinctive acting style of the inimitable William Shatner. The Shatner Effect occurs when it is obvious a work of entertainment is made for television based upon the delivery of the actors.
You: "How can you tell this movie was made for TV?"

Me: "Note that actor's dramatic gesticulations. Observe the overly tremulous voice. Check out the zipper on that alien costume. The Shatner Effect, totally."
