The Williams Effect 

The substantial and long-sustained decrease in intelligence and social aptitude test scores measured in many aspects of one's life starting roughly the time they become friends with a particular individual. There is no cure for the Williams Effect.
My friends tell me my social sensibilities have decreased upon moving in with my roommate. #TheWilliamsEffect

I thought I was immune to the Williams Effect until I found myself discussing MMA and WWE wrestling after a few short weeks of hanging with Alex.

The William Hung Effect 

The phrase refers to the condition where an American Idol contestant, with no talent, goes on the show hoping to acquire fifteen minutes of fame (or infamy). This phenomenon does not specify whether the contestant has an accurate self-perception of how terrible they are.

American Idol producers rely on this percentage of the contestant population to put together the first few shows of each season.
How can she actually think she would make it to Hollywood? It must be the William Hung Effect

I don't buy the schmegegge about Morty sleeping with Moira.
