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.

The Ronaldo Effect

this is a phenomenon known to all FIFA 18 players of the world. When playing online on any format (PS4, Xbox, PC), the team playing against Real Madrid seems to have nothing go in their favor. Specifically whenever Ronaldo is near the ball or when he has it. Being the highest rated player in the game, his effect seems to trigger some scripted FIFA 18 response in the opposing team's goalkeeper to have delayed reaction times. This scripting can also be seen when successful tackles render themselves to actually be unsuccessful as Ronaldo receives a deflection that goes perfectly into his path towards goal. Ronaldo also will win nearly every header that he is contesting due to this effect.

The effect itself has many negative health consequences especially for those who are experiencing it on the receiving end. Symptoms include excessive tilting, rage quitting, and sometimes, damage to the console, ones own body, or innocent by-standers around them. According to a recent study, prolonged exposure to the Ronaldo effect actually can lead to a series of mental illnesses. Among these illnesses are CR7 Fanboy disease, Excessive diving syndrome, and Madrid Online Autoselection disorder. Please see a doctor if you see experience the Ronaldo effect in extended periods of time.

Player 1: How did Ronaldo just win this header over two of my defenders who were already in position and then perfectly place this pass to another Madrid player?

Player 2: Clearly, you don't know too much about the Ronaldo Effect
