Hollywood Effect 

Using a celebrity or high profile individual to add status, glamour, or recognition to a project.

Usually advertising, a charity or a religion.
If we are gonna sell this shit to the public we need to add the Hollywood Effect.

This cult must be a real religion because it has a Hollywood actor as a member.

I'm gonna buy this product because - insert name - uses it.

Hollywood Effect 

When the art and entertainment tainted by investors (yeah, Big Company) and governments (yeah, Big Government, RIAA, ESRB, censorship committee, whatever) who know nothing about art, so it render arts and entertainments to become a mere cash cows rather than self actualisation of the artists
Everyone around the world must grow up from their Hollywood Effect phase and learn from Japanese Art and Entertainment Industries

the bollywood effect 

When one or two people dance with each other and it escalates to the whole world dancing with him/her/them in perfect sync. This effect is prevalent in Bollywood movies, hence the name.
"I saw a couple dancing to a catchy tune in the horizon and the next thing you know, I'm dancing with my friends behind the couple without any reason and nailing it on my first try!"

"That's the Bollywood effect."

Foot prisons 

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!

cornholio 

Ruler of Lake Titicaca. Rumored to have a bunghole that gets very angry if it does not receive toilet paper. Cornholio the Great is often seen walking around with his shirt over his head and his hands in the air, chanting songs about his power, and his bunghole.
"I am Cornholio! You do not want to face the wrath of my bunghole, for I need TP!"
Butthead: Shut up, Beavis! (uh huh huh huh)
Beavis: Um, okay. (heh heh heh heh).

In a movie, when the music is syncronized perfectly with the action, just like a mickey mouse cartoon.
Mickey mousing is used in the shower scene of Psycho
