These are just some of the funniest and most overused movie clichés:
#1 If good guy is being attacked by a group of bad guys, they never attack all at once. Instead they attack one by one thinking that it would do the trick.
#2 Women alone in their house will investigate strange noises in their most revealing underwear.
#3 Movie characters never make typing errors.
#4 Every shopping bag has either a stick of celery or French bread in it.
#5 If a character is pregnant from the beginning of the film, she will deliver before the movie ends.
#6 Every laptop has the ability to hack into any system of satellite or surveillance cameras, and contain detailed information of any criminals.
#7 You're very likely to survive any battle in any war, given that you didn't show a picture of your lover/family back home.
#8 If a character dies in a battle, his beloved ones will wake up from a nightmare of him dying at the exact moment.
#9 School bully always pick on you. Bully's girl is secretly in love with you.
#10 Alien conversation: Speaks English.
#11 Full moon can occur for several nights in a row.
#12 Heroes be like "I saved the world! And by world, I mean New York City!"
#13 Every dog apparently can sense evil presence and only barks at the bad guys.
#14 Upon hearing a bad news, protagonist will wash his face with tap water followed by a long anxious stare at the washroom mirror.
#15 Dear hero, I'll kill you immediately after I catch you. Sincerely, no villain ever.
#16 Armageddon in form of searing boulders shooting from the sky can be dodged by hiding under tables and letting the end of the world pass you by.
#17 All New York stalkers have binoculars.
#18 Following an explosion, characters walk away without looking at it, miraculously avoiding flying debris or not even coughing from smoke.
#19 A person shot at heart can always live long enough to reveal an important message that he should've told before he was dying.
#20 Striking someone with blunt object will make him unconscious all the time; despite this, no permanent damage would actually be done.
#21 Books are always opened at the middle, and pages are always turned to the right.
#22 If someone is shot by the villain with a gun fitted with a silencer, he/she will totally cooperate by dying quietly.
#23 Breakfasts/dinners in movies are never finished.
#24 FBI always arrive in a helicopter, regardless the place where they came from.
#25 Jobless/middle-class people in New York can afford big apartments and such.
#26 Cats always appear out of nowhere when girl is investigating for sinister presence at home.
#27 Parked cars are always fully-fueled and unlocked, unless it's night and they're trying to escape from a psychopath.
#28 Every desert shows a cow skull; apparently the rest of the skeletons always mysteriously disappears.
#29 90% of Asians knows Kung Fu.
#30 When you wake up from a nightmare, it is necessary that you sit bolt upright, rather than just suddenly opening your eyes.
#31 Answering machines always have two messages for the protagonist: a casual one from a friend or loved ones, always followed by a dark, creepy message from the villain.
#32 Pregnant women delivers in a matter of seconds, giving birth to three-year old infants.
#33 Bad guy at home/somewhere dark calls good guy on the phone, announcing plans/deals and such while cutting something with a knife.
#34 Terrorists are considerate enough to create bombs with LED timer and have them detonate after at least an hour, instead of actually blowing a place/people into chunks on-the-spot.
#35 If you're running from bad guys in a hospital, it is necessary that you knock over a huge tray of noisy metal instruments.
#36 Once defeated, a villain pleads for mercy from the hero, which is granted. Seconds later, the villain once again tries to kill the hero but somehow gets himself killed in the process.
#37 The main antagonist usually kills his henchmen for failing; nevertheless, he never seems to run out of loyal henchmen.
#38 All bad guys' machine guns are designed to hit walls and cabbage crates but never the protagonist.
#39 When a fight breaks out in a bar, everyone around you will also start fighting.
#40 You enter your house, dark and cold, as if a burglar broke into your house. But upon turning the lights on, "TA DA!" It's a surprise party!
#41 No character pays for drinks in bars, ever!
#42 If a woman vomits, she is 100% pregnant.
#43 All 6-round revolvers have unlimited ammos, well unless the hero is in grave danger.
#44 All locked doors can be opened instantly by kicking it thrice.
#45 I’ve had a phone connection cut out and found myself repeating “hello” to a dial tone.
