Comcast Effect

1) The act of receiving inadequate cable service which you pay way too much for.
2) The reason why your internet modem must be manually restarted at least 5 times a week.

I can't wait until Fios comes around, I'm sick and tired of the Comcast Effect!

Glee-Effect

Any moment or situation where breaking into song is a more appropriate response than just words.

Friend 1: I was feeling pretty crap the other day so I started singing. It seemed to solve all my problems.

Friend 2: Sounds like you had a case of the Glee-Effect.

Walmart effect

When retailers remove extras from their products to make them more price-competitive with Wal-Mart.

Polo shirts sold by J.C. Penney without the customary breast pocket demonstrates the Walmart effect.

Special Effects

Contemporary art that eschews style, content and technical skill and replaces these with hip effects like randomly applied paint drips and stencils. A reference to action movies that consist entirely of explosions, car chases and CGI.

Guy: I thought it was a good show, with some really aesthetically interesting stencils of spiderwebs...
Guy2: Yeah but you're into special effects.

Olaf Effect

When you are predisposed to hate a character that shows up on screen but you are surprised that he/she was not as annoying as you thought.

When Uncle Grandpa cameoed on Steven Universe, it was sort of like the Olaf Effect. You would think you would hate him, but you didn't (sort of).

The Kumon Effect

When you begin to feel angry, sad, depressed, lonely, stupid, dumb, less smart and enraged at the same time. It can cause raging, such as throwing Kumon work, burning Kumon work or becoming a taxidermist and stuffing Kumon instructors.

I'm starting to feel the Kumon Effect. I'm starting to feel stupid and lonely.
