The Cheerleader Effect is when a group of women seem hot, but only as a group. Just like with Cheerleaders they seem hot, but take each one of them individually - sled dogs
" I am not impressed with the talent in here tonight. " says Barney.
" Look, there's hot group of girls over there. " says Lily.
" That, my friend is the cheerleader effect, look at each of them individually. " says Barney.
" Woah, I see what you mean! " says Lily.
The opposite of the women's cheerleader effect (women look more attractive in groups, although unattractive individually) when applied to men. Men who may be attractive on their own will look like a complete douchebag when assembled. Each male's level of toolness is generally acceptable alone but is amplified when mixed with others.
Cody- Dude, Jake and his friends are tools.
Tim- Nah, that's just the reverse cheerleader effect.
Cody- No seriously, he's a tool.
Tim- You're right... it's just worse now.
Someone you work with who countlessly sends "go team" and "attaboy" e-mails and memos to the entire staff, without having any real teams goals or really ever attaining anything positive for the company.
"Hey Michael, stop junkin' up my inbox with your blind cheerleader emails. We haven't hit a sales goal in four months, so there's nothing to pump anyone up about...".
