The Schwarzenegger Effect

the phenomenon where seemingly rational and intelligent people are given a choice between a regular, sensible, safe option and a completely absurd and random option...and in a lapse of hilarity...think to themselves "wouldn't it be funny if" and place a joke vote towards the laughable choice, thinking there is no way this will happen...

...unaware that millions of other seemingly rational and intelligent people have also thought of this and thus creating a tragically hilarious scenario where the joke candidate or choice has been chosen and is now in control of their daily lives, unfortunately.

John thought it would be funny to vote "Katy Perry" as the next United States senator from his state just so he could tell his co-workers the next day, unaware that The Schwarzenegger Effect would now place the pop singer in firm control of his state's government and his parents' health insurance coverage.

Naruto effect

A anime trope in which a character is given tremendous power they are unaware of, then learn to use said power. (ie. Nastu Dragneel being a demon of Zerefs books, Kirito's sword made of the giga-cedar being able to grow, ect.)

I started a new anime yesterday and the main character has a serious case of the Naruto effect.

Peter: "Nah man it's not his fault, he was playing with Tom, that's just the D'Agostino Effect."
