The Curtis Effect is the action in which a person has something done to them, but this person takes either way to long to realise what's happened (a major delayed reaction) or to over emphasise the action done to them, for example someone getting punched and the person that gets hit would fly across the room. This effect tends to take place to people with 100 subscriber YouTube channels and above (this isn't yet known why).
