Tenz Effect

Whenever the Valorant Player TenZ is being spectated (specifically by his former teammate "Shinobi"), people are afraid of him, thus, allowing him to create unbelievable and highlight-worthy plays.

"It's the TenZ Effect once again!"

Will Riker Effect

It's the unsettling feeling given to others by a man who has removed his facial hair and who, as a consequence, looks strange and unfamiliar. It is often intensified by any one, or more, of these: a weak chin, thin lips, or a strongly cleft chin.

When I shaved my beard off, my girlfriend stopped putting out. She blamed it on work stress, but I think it was the Will Riker Effect.

The J.R. Effect

When a bullheaded person is ill-trained, in charge, and singlemindedly opposes a large team of intelligent dissenters, and this stubborn decision causes severe loss, that is the J.R. effect

Usage note: The J.R. effect is often preceeded by what is known as the chewbacca defense.

Everyone told him not to heat the lava lamp on the stove, but he explained the model of the chemical structure of the subatomic particles and the flashpoint reaction -- we don't know what the fuck he was talking about. Anyway, now he's dead with a shard of glass through his heart as a result of the J.R. effect.

Kisaragi Effect

You don't find it; it finds you.
Derived from a famous original song on YouTube about the Kisaragi Station. The video lacks a title, and so does the channel behind it.

I found an ominous video from an incredibly small channel on my recommendations today. Did anyone else get this Kisaragi Effect?

The Ellis Effect

The Ellis Effect is a theoretical hypothesis involving the ability of men named Ellis. The effect describes thier uncanny ability to cause others to drink excessive amounts of alcohol. They are essentially drinking catalysts. Be very careful when drinking around an Ellis. We do not have enough data to fully understand the extent of their charisma on others.

"We tried to collect observational data on The Ellis Effect, unfortunately he drank all the data."

Friend 1: "what happened to you last night?"
Friend 2: "I got way too plastered because I got caught in The Ellis Effect."
