Are there any game cliches that actually make you laugh whenever they happen?

I always find myself chuckling at this situation:

"Oh, you seem to have brutally murdered all the guards... Well I suppose you must be friendly!"

*Gate opens*

"Head right in, I'll pop the kettle on. How many sugars do you take?"

Probably how it's always I who have to take out that machine gun, mortar, tank, whatever...

This one really goes either way. Either I walk into a room unarmed and not-hostile at all to human NPCs that really have no reason to hate me (so far) and they immediately open fire, or I storm into a room with a gun that could only be fairly compared to the likes of Ron Jeremy and start waving it around, and the sluggish enemies only respond to my aggression by the time I've bowled down half their cohorts.

I love the fantasy setting cliche of dwarves living underground yet also loving beer. Where do they grow the hops etc. needed to brew beer if they live in a mountain?

It always seems that all of my other teammates are completely incompetent, seeing as I have to do everything myself.

They are also pot smokers and thus have elaborate grow houses with artificial lighting to grow all their hops and weed. Its a little known fact that is generally kept out of the public's knowledge.

Use words next time.

EDIT: That felt mean. Sorry. I had a hard time understanding what you were saying, but I got the basic idea after a few reads through.

Personally, I'm quite a fan of these:

1) I can kill thousands, but my arch enemy, who is also human, has a HEALTH METER! DUN DUN DUH!

2) "You're going to say something to me, and I'm going to quote it later when I save your life. :D"

How I am always the superior one, the ONLY one who can fulfill this task despite me being the same as them, either human or possessing the same skill or instinct.

Seriously, I can survive several slashes to my torso while the enemy is instantly killed with just one?

Usually this is because only the player can use potions mid-battle.

EDIT - Also forgot to mention, health packs, usually a small red box, heal EVERYTHING, from first-degree impacts (Condemned) to bullet and sword wounds. I honestly had no idea some pills could heal those 3 shotgun blasts I survived earlier hehe.

Lol that the hero who you play always seems to be like superhumanly able to kill so many more than anyone else :p but yeah i like that some are really easily killed by water, while others simply cant jump.

That thing in LoZ that all the antagonists set it up so that their doors open when the guards are dead. So they only want the enemy inside their base when they're unsupervised?

That you can't kill kids...I just find it funny how so no games let you kill kids.

Sure, you can kill DEMONIC kids. But you can't walk up to Lil' Johnny and pump him full of lead.

I agree, but then again how much fun would it be if the NPCs took care of all that for you? =P

When playing a RPG or shooter or any game where the focus is combat, after killing like hundreds of enemies, more continue to enter the fray, thinking they will be the one to do you in.

Protect the whole east coast while we take a nap.

Actually on the original fallout you could brutally murder children. What joys.

That any girl with the main character will become a romantic interest and then be killed at a later point.

Maybe you could make a "Sarge-em-up" game that revolves around giving out said orders...
Pick an unfortunate underling then scream at him (possibly using a headset) until he wets his pants...

More games need to let you do this.
