When someone you dislike shows you a funny video and you find it cringe. However if you find the same video from a different source it becomes funny. You automatically dislike the video because it’s coming from a source you hate.

“That loser Harrison showed me a video I found cringe, later I saw the exact same video on Instagram and it got a chuckle out of me. I will name this The Harrison Effect”

The Harrison Ford Effect

A common phenomenon where a person's most famous artwork, video, movie role, or other creation/appearance in media is incidentally their least favorite, and the person in question inevitably grows to hate said work as it becomes the sole thing they are known for.

The term is named after actor Harrison Ford, who has famously expressed his distaste for the Star Wars franchise after decades of only ever being seen as "the guy who played Han Solo."

A: "John setting his YouTube video to 'private' is just another case of the Harrison Ford effect. He's ready to move on from it."
B: "But it had over a million views!"
A: "That doesn't mean he enjoys hearing about it all the time."
