Cliche Discussion

Bomb diffusers break all odds. How many bombs in movies have *not* been disarmed/diffused within the last 5 seconds?

 

[nessonite1]

There simply IS no sheer cliff until you look down.

 

[Dussicar]

A cliche from TV cop shows: The fat, surly, cop that never smiles and hates the world and everything in it, somehow manages to attract the slimmest, hottest, most nubile young woman in existance. She(of course) spends half a season fawning over him, and requests(at least twice an spisode) either to move in with him or to get married...And HE'S THE ONE WHO SAYS NO!!!!
Seriously! How many ladies here on the TT keep thinking "gee, I sure hope that scowling, angry grocer in the produce isle, starts returning my overatures of flirtatious kindness, or I'll just die."

Here's a pic to go with that thought 😀

LOL Missy Val!
Action/adventure anime cliche:
All enemies are presented in a very neat order according to difficulty. Each enemy is more powerful and difficult to beat than the last one but a perfect match for the hero's current abilities.

 

[Kalamos]

TV/Movie/Videogame cliché:

Italian characters invariably speak in a thick southern accent, even if they supposedly come from northern Italy.

 

[SF85]

A cliche from every form of media there is.

Unless you see the body, then they're still alive. And even then it's still 50/50.

 

[phantom2]

In chase scenes the victims always seem to fall down allowing the villian to catch up.

 

[nessonite1]

Nobody has to pee. Ever.

Cartoon characters often wear the same clothing for the duration of the series.

 

[nessonite1]

In cartoons, comic strips, etc...
A character can have a birthday, Christmas, Halloween, New Years, etc every single year and yet they don't age a day.

 

[Duke Diablo]

No matter how well the enemy is trained, they always miss the heroes.

Evil masterminds make idiotic mistakes.

 

[Timewarp]

In anime: People laugh at the end of the episode, most of the time.
The sun is usually above them or behind them in some scenes,
In serious moments the wind blows.
No one goes to the bathroom or eats.
All the hot women look like they were in their teens,
You watch it.

Here: Well....i'm a cliche....I think.

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

When a good guy gains a new power, his enemy is convieniently open to it's attack, when he wouldn't have been before.

 

[Cbarton]

(1) in movies or TV, when getting groceries, there is always a loaf of French bread in the bag

(2) When a group is running, the blonde in the miniskirt and heels always sprains her ankle, slowing down the rest of the group

(3) IN a crash, landslide, or other disaster that strands a group, there is always one doctor and one pregnant woman, who goes into labor as soon as the doctor (a) leaves on the search party to find help or (b) has just died or been injured in some way, forcing someone else to deliver the baby

(4) The old man that no ones listens too and passes off as crazy always knows the solution to the problem, but only the young kid who hangs around with him is able to figure out what the old coot is saying

(5) Any 10 year old or younger kid can drive a car/truck/van in an emergency with no problems

(6) The storm/blizzard is always 'nothing to worry about' until the weatherman says it is has become severe 5 minutes after they leave....

All I can remember for now...

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

In a hostage situation, rarely does the hero take a clean shot at the assailants when he has the chance. Rather, he waits until the worst possible time and when the circumstances are worse than they were before.

 

[nessonite1]

Never ever get into an elevator with a pregnant woman. Also avoid pregnant women during traffic jams, blackouts, severe storms, long plane rides, etc...

Also never watch a tv show or movie with a labor and birth scene with a woman who has given birth.
She will point out every fault she sees in the realism of the production.
That's not as much af a cliche as it is a warning. 😛

 

[MistressValerie1]

On TV cop shows, the cop never misses when shooting a 2" snub revolver at a running bad guy 100' away ... and anyone hit with a low-powered, small-calibre handgun bullet is picked up, spun around, and thrown several feet away.

Also, in the first few seasons of MASH, the doctors always performed bloodless open-chest surgery -- they would pull their hand out of the patient with nary a drop of blood to be seen.

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

Some superheros have a secret identity thats either obvious or unmistakeable, yet no one can place them with a face. Example- Superman.

 

[cosquillero1]

TV/Movie Cliché:

The latin character is : if he's a man, he's thief/vague/drug addict or simply is bad guy, if she's a woman, she's a thief/drug addict/bitch.

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

Wow cosquillero, hows that variety working out for you? LOL

 

[cosquillero1]

No my friend, i don't like act 🙂.

 

[Celtic_Emperor]

I don't think you got what I meant, but ok. LOL

 

[GEORGIATKLER]

Round And Round She Goes, Where She Stops.....

Nobody has to pee. Ever.

LITTLE REGAN IN THE EXORCIST??? DIDN'T SHE ALSO SING "JESUS KEEP ME NEAR THE CROSS"? LOL!*THUNDER/LIGHTNING* IN SIMILAR FASHION TO THE ANIME, EACH SECRET AGENT HAS JUST THE RIGHT GADGET FOR THE UNBELIEVABLE/UNFORSEEABLE SITUATION THEY ARE IN. IN HORROR IF YOU CAN'T FIND AM'S SAFE HAVEN CORNFEILD, A CLOSET, BASEMENT OR UNDER THE BED WILL DO JUST FINE. *****S ALWAYS HAVE A HEART OF GOLD BUT NEVER CHANGE FOR A DOLLAR.......
