{{IndexTrope}}
The kind of [[Trope]] which you see all the time. [[Seen It a Million Times|ALL the time]].
Some of them are intrinsically vital to storytelling itself; they're so ubiquitous, you don't even think of them as [[Trope|tropes]] until they're pointed out to you. Some are [[Acceptable Breaks From Reality]]--unrealistic [[Trope|tropes]] that are intrinsic to the escapist appeal of fiction, and would seriously detract from it if they were [[Averted]]. Then you have the ones which are not necessary by any means, but look like the most ''natural'' thing in the world--timeless classics which for centuries have driven stories forward, held audience breaths and become legends. You sit through the work expecting them, even looking forward to them; come the [[Establishing Shot]], the first thing you ask yourself is "Where's [[The Hero]]?"
If anything, ''these'' are the proof that [[Tropes Are Not Bad]]. If ''these'' are [[Cliche]] then so is nigh every single work in the history of fiction.
Not to be confused with [[Universal Tropes]], which are used in all ''types'' of media, but need not be ubiquitous. If a [[Trope]] is omnipresent, but only within a specific genre, you may be looking at a [[Necessary Weasel]].
