When a group of males or females looks hot, just from being in close proximity to each other. However, if you were to scrutinize each one individually you would see that they are either simply average looking or even repulsive. This is from the television show "How I met your mother" and is explained by Barney (Neil Patrick Harris)
The Cheerleader Effect is when a group of women seem hot, but only as a group. Just like with Cheerleaders they seem hot, but take each one of them individually - sled dogs
" I am not impressed with the talent in here tonight. " says Barney.
" Look, there's hot group of girls over there. " says Lily.
" That, my friend is the cheerleader effect, look at each of them individually. " says Barney.
" Woah, I see what you mean! " says Lily.
The opposite of the women's cheerleader effect (women look more attractive in groups, although unattractive individually) when applied to men.

Cody- Dude, Jake and his friends are tools.
Tim- Nah, that's just the reverse cheerleader effect.
Cody- No seriously, he's a tool.
Tim- You're right... it's just worse now.

"Hey Michael, stop junkin' up my inbox with your blind cheerleader emails. We haven't hit a sales goal in four months, so there's nothing to pump anyone up about...".
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
