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.

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.
