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.
