the clifford effect

When a small puppy grows up to be a ridiciously massive dog similar to Clifford the Big Red Dog.
My neighbor's poodle was so little when they brought it home. Now it has been 2 years and it's over 100 lbs. and 3 and a half feet tall. When they asked how? I said "it's the clifford effect people."

The Goober Effect

When you play with a girl's feelings so hard that she believes you are actually a nice person.
Me: Yo man why your girl texting you so much, I thought you used her for pussy.

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.

The Bono Effect

The Bono Effect is a phenomenon that occurs when an individual or group aims to be universally popular to the masses, but eventually ends up with widespread rejection and criticism due to over-exposure and/or claims of insincerity. Named after Bono, the lead singer of the Irish Band U2, who along with his band faced considerable commercial and critical backlash starting in the mid to late 2000's after two and a half decades of solid success.
"Dude, you ever notice how nobody really likes Scott anymore?"
"Yeah I know. That guy's going through The Bono Effect in the worst way"

The Boyle Effect

The surprise and delight experienced when something is significantly better than originally anticipated. As per Susan Boyle on Britain’s Got Talent. The judges and audience expected a poor performance based on Susan’s frumpy appearance, but once they heard her beautiful voice – were completely overwhelmed and duly erupted into rapturous applause. If Susan had been more ‘visually appealing’, they would have expected a good performance, and consequently been less moved by the experience.
Real Estate Agent: So....what do you think of the apartment, is it what you are looking for?

House hunter: I love it! I was not expecting it to be anywhere as good as this... the pictures didn’t do it justice. Where are the papers? I must sign up today. Do you think I could get a two year lease?

Real Estate Agent: Gotta love The Boyle Effect.... works every time!

Sprinkler Effect

A sudden mundane and useless event that happens in a movie, like a sprinkler going off, that makes the watcher laugh hysterically, regardless of the director's intentions.
"That scene where the guy parked his car in that movie gave off one hell of a Sprinkler Effect. I was rolling on the floor."
