The effect is that they get a laugh from audience. They think that making someone else feel bad just to have a laugh for less then about 2 minutes. It's pathetic ! Also they might do it to take there anger out on someone who either won't fight back and or, who's weaker then the bully. Sometimes when people get angry they don't know exactly what there doing. So maybe a bully's having a bad day, but that still doesn't mean to take it out on someone weaker or someone who will never fight back.
