Or, how about constant misunderstandings/assumptions, ala Three's Company.

More Cliches:
  • Mother/Daughter or Father/Son conflicts.
  • The awkward male/female suitor that always puts their foot in their mouth.
  • The Dad who works too much and realizes by the end of the movie that family is more important than work.
  • Whenever the gun runs out of bullets, it gets thrown at the assailant.
  • The serial killer who plays cat & mouse with the police because he's smarter than him; police get him in the end.

I'm sure I can come up with more if I think about it.
