"Cliches are not good, cliches are not bad, cliches simply are" well you certainly know how to be meta.

As was once famously said about the film Casablanca, "Two cliches makes a bad film, one hundred makes a classic."

“Are clichés bad?” Let’s ask Princess Bride, a movie made entirely out of clichés that is a well-known and beloved classic

Street Urchin: "Sorry sir! I'll be more careful next time." Kid walks away Companion: "That kid looked suspicious. Check your coin purse." Antihero character checks belongings Companion: "Well?" Antihero: "He didn't take my coins, but I'm missing my bag of fingers..." Companion: "BAG OF WHAT?!" Distant screams of terror echoes throughout the streets

In the anime Kill La Kill the hero is eating an orange. Later a kid bumps into and pick pockets the MC as the child runs past. “Oldest trick in the book.” kid pulls out orange “WHAT, I WAS SURE I GRABBED HER WALLET!” The MC then appears behind the child and taunts them while grabbing her food back. Not only is this funny, but it also shows that the MC is wise to this sort of thing; so much infact, that she some how even tricked the thief into taking the wrong item. I really like this interaction.

My art teacher taught me a very important "rule" that is true of any artistic medium- you must know the rules in order to successfully break them.
@DrShaym
Complaining about clichés is a cliché.
@TheReadingWerewolf
I really like the idea of playing with clichés rather than avoiding them all together.
@jaiyapapaya
Remember guys, you can use a cliche and make it work just don't rely on it. Spice it up and add your own flair!

Hey, here's an idea for a subversion of that whole "thief kid runs into wealthy noble" thing you mentioned that I thought up. The kid bumps into the nobleman, whose knowledge of the poor and where they live stems primarily from...trashy adventure novels! So when the kid bumps into the nobleman, the nobleman immediately assumes that the kid is a thief, grabs him, and starts yelling at him to give him back whatever he stole. The kid, genuinely not knowing what the nobleman is talking about, begins crying as the nobleman continues to insist that he must have stolen something, basing his assumption entirely on the stereotype. At this point, either the nobleman realizes what an utter heel he's being and lets the kid go, or he attracts the attention of actual criminals, or alternatively, gets confronted by bunch of angry citizenry who only see a bigoted noble accosting a child. Either way, the noble comes to realize his own naivete about the area he's in, and finds himself questioning his own presumptions about people based on where they live, how they look and etc. Hey, I think I can do this : D

Clichés are like salt and pepper. Alone, they're just plain bad. But when sprinkled carefully within a narrative, they can be just as effective as any new and original idea. It's as you said, a clichéd plot device is not inherently bad, it's when the story follows nothing but cliché after cliché like someone who just salts up their meal until it's all they can taste and not the food they're eating. Yes, it's the dreaded food analogy. Sue me.

"terrible writing advice" uploads a video with good writing advice the universe is falling in on itself
@Aurichalcam
So essentially take old, worn out ideas and either replace them, or tweak them to be used slightly differently? This is actually a highly useful video since there is so much pressure upon writers and other artists to be completely original. There's nothing wrong sticking to formula, as long as you give it some of your own originality.

Clichés are not good Clichés are not bad either Clichés are neutral A little haiku for you all to enjoy.

I feel like cliches (at least as defined in this video) are like bacteria. You don't want all the bacteria in your body dead--some of them are super good and help you digest and stuff. Other bacteria will KILL you if you leave them alone. It's just a matter of knowing which one is which and taking steps to appropriate treatment.
