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!

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.

The Piehole Effect

Downticks in the stock market associated with pronouncements from George W. Bush.

I sold my stocks before Bush gave his press conference, because of the Piehole Effect.

stern effect

The contents in Howard Stern's radio talk show were so provocative and offensive that the show lovers and haters can't seem to turn him off but to keep listing to him just to see what he'll say next therefore creating an effect of a hating audience toward a specific entertainer to keep watching or listening to the performance just to see what kind of crap he/she can come up with even though it is not what the audience want.

LonelyGirl15 has a great stern effect on youtube viewers because the people who hate her can't wait to watch her newest youtube videos and leave bad comments about her or her videos.

Suzie: Why is everyone waving their arms?
Kimmy starts to wave arms

Quince Effect

Not quite - I thought was when a bisexual man picks up a woman in a gay club by spinning her the line that "I've never been with a woman, but now I'm confused"!

The Quince Effect was in action last night in Marthas - will these girls never learn?!
