What is your most hated cliche?

[DasAShinyGolash]

Self-Explanatory

For me it would be evil villains who diabolically laugh, but then cough, and smart-alecky main characters

Search Bar Approved

 

[Cherry Cola]

People complaining on popular games because they are popular.

 

[The_root_of_all_evil]

"Head them off at the pass?"

I HATE that cliche

Cookie on offer.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

A British villain in American movies... Granted, we make awesome villains but still, a cliche'.

 

[Omikron009]

All aliens having colourful ships and using energy weapons. I'd like to see some sci-fi aliens with wicked ballistic technology, missiles and big boxy gunmetal grey battleships.

 

[JRShield]

Black guys are rappers and die first and white guys are nerds, but get the girl in the end. It's always the same.

 

[asleep at the comp]

that all people who play d & d live in there parents basement!! and are fat?

 

[FactualSquirrel]

That aliens are automatically more advanced/awesome than us.

When people argue with you and then shield themself with 'It's my opinion' when you're flooring them or they can't be arsed anymore.
No, fuck you, if it's an opinion you're not necessarily right, shut up.

That gets my vote. It pisses me off to no end.

"This is just the beginning... of the end" -.-

Well, to be fair, if the aliens came here, they must have had fuckin' spacecrafts. And having fuckin' spacecraft can be kind of hard. (Granted the spacecraft might have been less advanced, but then they couldn't have come from very far away, anywho you get the point)

 

[MetaKnight19]

Red barrels = explosion (Who am I kidding, I love that cliché)

My most hated would probably be a horror movie in which all the people who get killed are overly-sexually-active teenagers who spend a couple of days in a secluded area where there is little to no contact to anyone else. Looking at you Friday the 13th, and to a lesser extent Nightmare on Elm Street. I still love those movies though

[GotMurf]

All cliche's are equally buttfuck retarded.
But my most hated cliche would probably be the cliffhanger ending. Hate to victimise, but Halo 2... You're the best example.
It's not an ending. It concludes nothing!

 

[Always_Remain]

The Tolkien/Wow-ish fantasy setting is getting so old. I mean I'm pretty nerdy so I can tolerate but it's used waaay too much.

Only YOU can save the world and defeat the evilness.It's not my MOST hated but it certainly does tick me off. Granted it does work in some cases.

Oh this mostly applies to the Friday the 13th reboot...remake? Reimagining? Sequel kind of? Fuck it. There was so many tits in that movie it basically became boring to see them. Nightmare barely does this.

"You have to expect the unexpected..."

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!?!?! Nothing. Nothing at all. And it's a contradiction in terms.

Also, it sounds like it's telling you, by omission, to unexpect the expected.

 

[Rhade]

Shoehorning a sidekick of love interest into a game or story that would probably be much better off without them.

"As soon as it's being developed State-side it pretty much has to have such a sub plot, by law." or some such.

Ditto for popular music. I'm not saying that it doesn't suck I'm just saying have a better reasing for hating it other than it's popular.
