What are some stupid clichés in movies that wouldn't happen in real life?

1 ) The ethical popular kid inviting the loner to the lunch table.
Popular kids don’t take risks. Conformity is a contributing factor towards their elite rank. Doing this shakes up the status quo and puts their good standing in jeopardy. How do they stay where they’ve always been? By doing what they’ve always done.

2 ) The lighting rod epiphany that turns a cautious dweeb into a fearless warrior overnight.
This cliche is particularly rampant in action movies. Usually someone close to them gets killed or they’re the recipient of absurdly bad luck. Don’t get me wrong. People definitely change. But not that fast. There’s a fierce desire within us to replicate the same average experience we had yesterday. Change is gradual and a game of inches. Unless radioactive spiders are involved, zero to hero stories within a 24 hour cycle simply don’t happen.

3 ) A group of characters locking arms and singing Kumbaya immediately after settling a dispute.
Resolving conflicts is loud and exhibitory in movies. The characters sing a song or perform a surprisingly elaborate dance number for two people that haven’t spoken for months. In real life, settling conflict is quiet and uncomfortable. People go home and reflect. Ponder the exchange. Turning resolution into display art isn’t even a thought that arises.

4 ) Slow claps.
This one hurts because I’m a staunch supporter of the phenomena. I genuinely wish there were more instances of slow claps in real life. I’ve always wanted to start one myself but never had the balls. They get me every time in movies. One person creating a ripple that eventually culminates into a tidal wave. That’s what it’s all about. One man really can change the world. Or at least the vibes at an intramural basketball game.

Or a real cliche': "Love means never having to say you're sorry." What a crock!

Very interesting info. regardless of these comments from people who seem to think they're masters at letting you know why you shouldn't have posted the article. I enjoyed the "slow clap" one. I also enjoy the impact of that in a movie. What's really irritating is when someone on foot is being pursued by a motorist and instead of turning into another direction, they carry on running in the same direction as the car. The other thing that's irritating is when the person, once they've knocked out or thought they've killed the bad guy, they turn their backs or don't pick up the gun. Very entertaining article. Thanks.

My pet hate in movie “cliches” is the depiction of sprinklers operating in response to the “hero/villain” setting off a single sprinkler head with a match or cigarette lighter - and having the entire system operate throughout the building! They do not work that way, the sprinkler head is essentially a heat detector, which, when it reaches its response temperature open that specific sprinkler head and no other!

Diane Thompson, It always bothers me that they just keep running in a straight line too. Run to the side. Run into a stand of trees. Pick a place too narrow or full of double parked trucks so the car can't easily make a U-turn, and then run back the way you came.

Marianne Frederick Halterman, That fortunately is not a cliche. I've only seen it in one movie.

Peter Robertson, I was going to say something similar. Besties on TV or film are usually of different races, but not so in real life.

I hate the shows where the Latino guy loses his temper all the time and is a macho bragger.

The old" the girl friend standing there wringing her hands while her boyfriend gets beat on". I don't know anyone who does that. Even back in the fifties.
