Well, the Transformers movie did a good job of condensing every major movie steriotype into one big pile of suck, but it's at least insightful as a "what not to do" film guide.
Right now, however, I say Space Marines. I'm so sick of them. Maybe if they behaved more like sailors and Maritime combat troops they'd be a bit more original, but at the moment they're just generic army dudes with way too many guns.

Hm... For me, the happy-go lucky, sword wielding, thicker than lead protagonist of the rpg genre.
You are a typical person/a rookie at something slightly relevant that allows you a gun. You can single handedly kill everything, kill the uber beast and take down a corporation.
Something that an elite SWAT team cannot even crape the surface off, being off'ed by the first beast that you encounter, and kill a stupid number of throughout the game.

Modern rap/R&B music is as generic as it gets, in my opinion. It sounds like there's a machine somewhere that produces "hits" and hands them out to performers. Other kinds of mainstream music also suffer from this to a degree, but rap/R&B (or whatever they call it nowadays) takes the cake.
If you want a game-related answer, I'd say game sequels - always advertised as "bigger, badder, better, broader" etc., they're usually the same game with some new gimmicks, sometimes with less features and more often than not, worse than the previous game. I'm holding my breath for the first game to reach number 20... Final Fantasy XX probably, then we get to wait for Final Fantasy XXX... oh dear...

Stereo-typical?
The young, 16ish year-old secretly adopted male who grew up a woodcutter/farmer/poor boy who slowly learns that he's the son or descendant of some greater, more powerful/rich family who slowly but awkwardly becomes the great hero that saves the world from some great menace.
Generic?
Using a potion/stimpack/health pack/plant/injection to heal myself after getting hit by 10+ slugs from an automatic weapon.
I dislike both of those things. A lot.

EVERY TIME Stephen Segal says "Who sent you?"
Every action movie based on gangsters/gangstas in the hood, usually involving Stephen Segal.
Chuck Norris jokes are so outdated that the only one who can tell them successfully is Chuck Norris. If you don't laugh he roundhouse kicks you.
Oh, and the "one of these J-RPG characters will DIE to progress the plot" trope. Man I'm sick of that.

regeneration in the fps. boring flashback sequences in anime i can understand a back story is needed but not 2-4 episodes of story are needed
has to be space marines for me as well...especially the ones with necks the width of fuckin oak trees and shoulders as wide as my mum's fiat punto
Gotta agree with the loudmouthed black guy in pretty much everything (save Raven in Tekken and Zasalamel in Soul Calibur).
-The "mysterious" secondary character either: 1)linked to the protagonist's past 2)ends up becoming the main villain 3)both
-The badass female character who doesn't need help until she gets her ass whooped/captured, then she turns into the helpless damsel-in-distress.
