The first time I ever went to club, probably 2 days after my 21st, I went up to order a drink. The bartender asks what I'd like, I responded with 'A beer'. He gave me a blank stare and said, 'Ok. What kind?' I learned a valuable lesson that day, always say what kind of beer you want. They don't find it amusing when you just say beer.
 
That thing they do in horror movies where it like builds tension and the music rises and you think something is going to jump out just as someone opens a door/cupboard/goes around a corner or whatever. The music rises to a crescendo as they do whatever it is they're doing that might unleash an alien/monster/whatever. Then no bad thing appears and the music stops, every one breathes a sigh of relief, and then BAM something bad happens 1.4 seconds later.
 
...and cats jump onto people making that loud 'rrrrreeeeaaaaoooowwwwwwwwwww' noise. I've never heard of such a thing in real life.
 
"I was afraid you'd say that"

"It just got worse... much worse"

"Do you know how to fly this thing?"

"Don't you die on me d'year?"

"I have a bad feeling about this"
 
In any action movie with a crazy car chase scene through a busy city street - they will end up damaging public buildings, drive straight through any mall that might be on the way - straight in and out through glass walls on either side, kill innocent civillians, cause cars to flip over and explode - but not even a single cop pulls them over or questions them. They will however arrive at the scene just as the good/bad guys get away after that final explosion.
 
Also, when a good/bad guy is running after a bad/good guy, they violently push and shove a lot of people in their way - most of whom simply say 'Heyy, watch it' and go about their business as usual. Try that in a real street and see if people are that passive.
 
Notice in run-down predominantly black areas, Chinese people run the local shop. Much racism ensues.
 
Mainly an American TV one, though it seeps prominently into movies too (especially if Kevin James is in them) and annoys the hell out of me for some reason I can't quite fathom...

Fat, ugly, lazy, drunken, dumb, boorish, often obnoxious and relatively poor "regular guys" with hot, sexy, clever, liberal, understanding, sporty, generally idealised but moreover unfeasibly attractive wives.

Sorry America, doesn't happen. Does it make you feel better about your dull fat pathetic life? really? Well tough, it doesn't happen. Rosanne happens. She could've fallen for his great sense of humour you say? Fat chance, doesn't happen. I don't actually understand why it would make anyone feel better about themselves either. Surely a fat, ugly, boorish bloke would just be pissed off his wife wasn't as good looking and understanding of his idiocy as "all dese telly broads." ..causing them deep resentment and frustration most likely, and increasing the amount of domestic violence 10 fold.

So sorry fatty, it's bollocks......


...and probably sexist
 
Serious people don't fart, farts only exist in comedies.

That's in just about every form of media in the US. Films, TV, commercials, print ads. I don't much care for it, but it sells I guess.
 
The cool reckless black cop who drives fast, gets the job done in an entertaining way whilst listening to hip hop.

The nerdy white cop who goes by the book and has to be bailed out by his partner who he eventually learns from.

That could fit the synopsis of about 300 films
