The Ellen Effect 

The idea that if you so much as dance in front of a camera, it is considered a “wholesome” act and you are therefore a wholesome person. When in reality your wholesomeness is completely contrived and in real life you’re a piece of shit.

Ellen Degeneres is the most referenced of this effect based on the early theories of Adam Carolla, however The Ellen Effect has spread to every single person on Tik Tok

Hey bro did you hear about Bill Cosby?
Yeah but I’m not surprised at all.

What do you mean?
The Ellen Effect man. Cosby was always dancing to hide the fact he maliciously raped women.
