Annoying TV/movie cliches...

Hackers have magical powers that allow them access to heavily guarded information by simply tapping mystical runes out on their keyboards in a matter of seconds.

South Park actually had a great take on this in their parody of 24 which happened to air earlier today...

Staff Assistant: Sir, these kids are right. We've just received intel that Russian Terrorists are believed to be responsible for the threat.
Staff Head: Where's the intel from?
Staff Assistant: We just read it on Drudge Report

The blender was turned on, but the cover wasn't placed over it! SMOOTHIE EVERYWHERE! LOL!

I don't think its an over personalization, i think its how you worded your original post saying " that doesn't happen, real kids what tv and grunt when their parent (s) come home." to paraphrase.

But then you have real live parents like me that throw out well my real live kid actually does run to me when i come home, and other dad's chimed in that that happens, so maybe what we're trying to say is that mabye we don't see it as cliche'd or overly cliche'd because its actually part of our lives and gives us the warm and fuzzies when it happens and we see it on tv/movies

just one man's opinions

Again, I realize it happens. I realize that police Captains really do pull their subordinates into their offices and yell at them in a demonstrative fashion. I realize that incredibly hot girls do sometimes fall for nice, geeky guys who prove themselves to be kinder and more dependable than their successful but mean-spirited boyfriends. I realize sports underdogs do sometimes reach deep within themselves to find the strength to come through during crucial moments in sporting events. However, the fact that these things do occur in real life doesn't mean they happen regularly...and it certainly doesn't mean that they haven't become a cliched aspect of American filmmaking.
