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.

Clown Effect

When you and a good number of your comrades, preferably more than the number of car seats, pile into a car of any size to deliver street justice. When you approach the unsuspecting individual everyone files out of the car similar to the clowns exiting the tiny cars at the circus. You then proceed to deliver a beat down to the poor sap.

The Antoine Effect

The Antoine Effect:

An internet phenomenon exclusive to the LGBT+ teenager side of GETTR in which a fictional character or person is popularized and idolized, becoming the stock of humor and inside jokes. The name derives from Antoine Leblanc, a fictional character (who also happens to be a DILF) belonging to one of the GETTR users.

Any character going through the Antoine effect will be the butt of jokes and well thought out humor. They may also be sexualized in a joking manner, such as the term “antoinussy” given to Antoine Leblanc. The characters popularity will skyrocket and soon be known throughout most of GETTR.
Oliver: "Hey, Connie, did you hear about that new character my friend drew and posted to GETTR?"

Connie: "Yeah, she seems to be going through The Antoine Effect."
