Line 285:
* A ton of webcomics that adopt the attitude of [[Follow the Leader]], usually of ''[[Penny Arcade]]'', ''[[Sluggy Freelance]]'', or ''[[Bob and George]]''. Those three webcomics alone inspired about half of the webcomics out there, with [[Sturgeon's Law]] seeming to be an understatement about their quality and originality.
* Everything in ''[[Sonichu]]'' that doesn't [[All There in the Manual|fail to make any sense unless the author explains it]] has been seen before in so many other, better works.
* Parodied on ''Hiro'' with [http://drunkduck.com/hiro/index.php?p=414050 Lo, the Cliche King]{{Dead link}}.
* Done deliberately and for laughs in Jango's [[Evil Gloating]] [http://www.darthsanddroids.net/episodes/0276.html here] in ''[[Darths and Droids]]''.
* The GM's story in ''[[DM of the Rings]]''.
Line 342:
* [[Cirque Du Soleil]]'s ''[[KA]]'', their only show to put its [[Excuse Plot]] front and center, is a conventional heroic journey: royal twins are separated when their kingdom is attacked and their parents killed by evil forces; they and their sidekicks (some wacky, some serious) go through a variety of adventures to be reunited and help defeat the army. Each finds romance along the way, the Twin Brother with a villain's daughter and the Twin Sister with a Tarzan-like forest hero. The pleasure of the show is watching it unfold without intelligible dialogue and with oodles of [[Scenery Porn]] and acrobatics; the familiarity of its story is kinda to its benefit.
* [http://youtu.be/WAG9Xn5bJwQ This] hilarious [[Real Trailer, Fake Movie]].
* [[World War II|Bernard Montgomery's]] [http://www.remuseum.org.uk/corpshistory/part16/el-alamein-personalmessage.jpg address to the British Eighth Army]{{Dead link}} shortly before the battle of El Alamein was filled with cliches, and he was known for being fond of using them in general.
