Cheerleader Effect

Effect where when 3 or more women are located in a bar, pub etc scene together, they appear together as a good looking bunch, but when viewed individually, are actually unattractive. Thought to only be in effect with groups of women, but actually in effect with both sexes.

cheerleader effect where altogether the cheerleading team looks attractive but on closer inspection is quite ugly, the spice girls, the group of women who dance in a circle at the bar-usually with a pile of purses in the middle, occurs at any canadian fraternity common room where all together the men look hot but when checked out are actually bunk ass.

The exponential effect of communicating a focused message through many different forms of advertising media with a very persuasive effect on beliefs and behavior.

The advertising campaign was communicated through a microsite, social media venues, viral video, print, grassroots events and out of home media. The Piranha Effect was amazing.

Springtime for Hitler effect

A seemingly paradoxical situation that occurs when all of the individual components of a movie (acting, dialogue, editing, etc.) are utterly terrible, yet the movie is nevertheless enjoyable. Most often it applies to a movie that while not meant to be a comedy, is nevertheless hilarious to watch.

Named for 'Springtime for Hitler' from the film 'The Producers'.

'Shark Attack 3' belongs on IMDB's worst 100 list, but because of the Springtime for Hitler effect, many people actually enjoy watching it.
