- the slightly hot but sort of irresponsible, irreverent late 30-something-40-something mom (looking at every Leslie Mann role ever)

- forced diversity (the one black dude in the crew of 3 other white guys, the sassy black female friend)

- speaking of which, sassy black women in general :beli: especially the fat ones :snoop:

- post-credit scenes/"reveals" (this is nothing but production crew vanity...you're going to sit there and see my name scroll up the screen :birdman:)

- kids getting possessed/being the only one to see, notice, interact with evil lurking in the house

- New York being destroyed and/or being the movie setting in general

- women consistently giving the beats to big ass men :duck:...how come women never fight female opps?

When a guy gets caught in a compromising situation usually by his wife he immediately says "I can explain!" but it's too late as she leaves in anger. But he wins her back at the end.

This shyt foreal.

Also the "conservation of ninjitsu" trope.

1 ninja working alone is a force of nature but 100 ninja working together couldn't harm a fly.

Detective is about to catch the bad guy, but his commanding officer tells him he must quit investigations because he doesn't believe him or is taking too long...or the bad guy has connections to top people in the department. Detective then has to go rogue

In horror movies, person is staring at a mirror or an open closet door or fridge door. The camera is turned in such a way that it only shows the inside of the door so you know they're going to do a jump scare when the person closes the door. Or sometimes they just fake you out and pretend to do one.

Jump scares in general have become cliche, they're not even scary just loud noises happening.
---
Husband and wife argue, the wife kicks the husband out of the house or makes him sleep on the couch.
---
The one sane person in the movie who knows something creepy or weird is going on. They try to tell everybody else not to go in that house or don't go to that campsite, etc. The main characters NEVER listen to this person and just writes them off as being "crazy."
---
The juxtaposition of one scene being really quiet and then there's a cut and the next scene starts with something super loud like a telephone ringing or train horn or something else to keep you on your toes. Like the director was like "Oh you thought you were falling asleep huh?"
---
This happens in tv shows a lot but the main guy is constantly going after the girl who doesn't care about him at all and isn't attracted to him. He keeps looking over every other girl or the girl that's cute and actually likes him. See: Steve Urkel chasing Laura, Timmy Turner chasing Trixie, etc. Steve's case was especially bad because he had a chick like Myra who liked him for him and shared the same interests.

Women having sex with their bra still on

Movie ends with a character in a mental institution

Man and woman hate each other, are having a huge argument, then suddenlly start kissing and have sex

Sex at work after hours

The pool guy is always young and attractive

Women with no jobs walking around their homes in full hair and makeup wearing heels

Couple wakes up in bed with no recollection of the night before, and don't know each others names


People screaming loudly with nobody around as the camera pans out

Families sitting down for full breakfast with a giant pitcher of orange juice


:deadmanny:

I literally laughed out loud at this one. In all the years of my life, I have never seen anybody in real life drink OJ out a pitcher, but that shyt has been in every breakfast commercial and movie with a family eating breakfast that I can think of.

I saw Atomic Blonde this past Friday. You can basically sum up the action scenes with this one cliche.

Yeah, a 120lb white woman in her 40s is exactly what I think about when I picture somebody that's extra nice with them hands. :stopitslime:
