I was just watching the remake of Poisedon on HBO during commercials on Attack of The Show and it reminded me of a stock character that I hate thats usually in horror movies.
I think the most annoying stock character in them horror movies, is the guy thats always trying to be funny. Like in the Friday The 13th movies. This aint no time for jokes, theres a invincible monster set on killing us, who the hell would be trying to make people laugh at a time like that?
Anyway, what are some of yalls? Remember they dont gotta be just disaster or horror...

Any movie involving teenagers HAS to show them getting drunk/high.

Uptight old white person that's obviously of a conservative political persuasion and cool, hip, sassy black person that makes conservative old white person see the error of their uncool ways.
And nerdy/uncool/unpopular kid that's in love with cool/popular person of opposite social class that doesn't notice they're alive til the middle or the end of the movie.

Hot Teens about to have sex, and then the killer strikes.
Hot Teens go into a house, and then the killer strikes.
Hot Teens go into a forest, and then the killer strikes.
So I pretty much hate horror movies.

It was funny 10 years ago, but I'm quite done now with the horror movie character who knows all about horror movies. It was done best in There's Nothing Out There, and that was in 1991.

Any character reminding me of Busta Rhymes. He ruined my Halloween.

I blame Titanic for this one: The so called funny fat member of a research team.
After Titanic we saw this guy in Twister (played by Philip Seymour Hoffman) and Dante's Peak.
Actually it could go back to Tom Arnold's charactor in True Lies. But he was good in that film so he gets a pass.

I hate the whole "Go, get yourself out, I'll be fine." thing. I'll admit to using it in my book, but you've got to kind of... put a spin on it. I saw it in second Harry Potter film and cringed.

I liked the take on the whole "Get yourself out I'll be fine!" "No we won't leave you!" in Eurotrip when the one guy went "Save yourselves!" and everyone else went, "Okay!" and ran away.
In just one horror movie I would like to see the obnoxious jock survive because of his athletic ability.

Another one thats funny/annoying is the one where a person will be telling someone there plan and itll like, change shots from day to evening to night and hes still telling it. I remember when me and my friends saw Into The Blue, one of them was like "That would be like me telling you a story at lunch and then me finishing that night"...

I'm tired of the character, that from out of nowhere gives some piece of heavy advice about life and people, ususally someone old, or someone you wouldn't expect

another thing I hate, kinda goes along with the character getting all philosphical, is when it turns out, they read it somewhere else and didn't come up with it on their own-I saw this in the Big fat greek wedding commercial

The big black guy with the shotgun who will utter humorous things about shoving his foot up somebodies ass. Or, the cowardly black guy. "Y'all are crazy, I'm gettin' mah ass outta here."
Action movies always have the tough guy, then the comic relief sidekick.
Oh and in martial arts movies, Jet Li movies are a good example, there's always the big russian who specialises in kicks and has spiked white hair. Everytime the "big" guy comes in, the good guy will go to hit him, he'll stop, the "big" guy will wipe blood off his lip and shake his head to say "no" and smile, the good guy will look on in disbelief before being hit through a table/door/window.

I would also like to put on notice kids that act like adults and give useful advise (EG: Dakota Fanning in War Of The Worlds or Man On Fire, the kid in Night At The Museum). Kids don't give out useful advise kids just run around being annoying.
Also Ashley Judd playing a detective of some sort. Enough!

Black man and white man. Black man is all "ghetto" and "street", white guy is middle class. White guy has never heard rap before. Black guy teaches white guy things about himself. Happy ending tells us races can get along.
Hooray for morals in story!

The ultimate in dating cliches is: The one were this one guy is unpopular or unlucky in love and loves this certain girl who has an jerk for a boyfriend, he does something extrodinaire and then she loves him. He then messes up and she leaves only to return at the end when everything is alright.
That movie "'ohn Tucker must die' is one big cliche.
