Perky effect

The Perky effect, in psychology, refers to the process by which visual mental imagery is thought to interefere with visual perception. For example, if a person is instructed to project by imagination a tomato or a banana on a while screen, an a faint image of a tomato or banana is projected, the person may not be able to tell the difference between the real image and that which was imagined. Cheves W. Perky did the pioneering research on this back in 1910. This is the first meaning of the Perky effect.

There is another meaning: the Perky effect is what happens when you go braless on a cold day.

Thomasina loved cold days because of the perky effect.

The Tyler Perry Effect

A phenomenon when only black people think dry jokes about themselves being loud, rambunctious, classless, and uneducated people who lack long-term goals, are just hilarious.

Sorry, I don't watch shows that aren't comedic in the least, you faggot. God, another victim of The Tyler Perry effect.

The Perry Effect

The Perry Effect states that someone or something is completely inconspicuous or unrecognizable unless they possess a characteristic item.

The Perry Effect derives from the character Perry the Platypus from the American TV show, "Phineas and Ferb", based on how the villain, Dr. Doofenshmirtz, cannot recognize Perry the Platypus unless he is wearing his signature hat.

Some guy: *sitting on a bench, listening to music*

Onlooker 1: Oh, look, it's just a guy hanging out

Some guy: *takes out a skateboard and skates away*

Onlooker 1: TONY HAWK THE PRO SKATER!?

Onlooker 2: The Perry Effect strikes again.
