"We're the same, you and I". Ridiculous how many films this comes up in.

This is a cultural Japanese language pattern thing. They repeat what the other person said to demonstrate they've been listening.

"This isn't you."
fuck that
also "I think you better come here and see this thing that we're going to cut straight to."
okay, its makes dramatic sense but its silly
"I know a guy." Then cut to the guy. ALso makes more dramatic sense but again, its silly.

I don't like how many films do the "we're the same" thing but I don't it is in itself that bad of a thing. It kind of signifies how even the baddies want to relate to someone and want someone to understand them. Many times it's the hero who best understands the villain, even better than the villain's own allies. It's a bit corny to outright say it though. Best cases portray that through action and body language etc. instead of uttering out a corny line.

My friends and I used to joke we could easily write a show for CBS with lowest common denominator tropes. I think most of GAF could TBH.
I agree, plus in videogames especially the meta commentary of the means to an end of baddy and protagonist are legit similar, often times.
Namely, slaughtering hundreds.

? This is actually used in real life -- especially in dating / marriage relationships. Why does it annoy you?
That's basically most of the dialogues between Leon and Helena in the first chapter of RE6

Perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
"Come on guys stop screwing around!"
Also, anime is absolutely filled with too many instances of "It can't be helped."

I could be wrong, but I interpret OP's "I'm sorry...me too" as being in a negative light. Like person 1 has done something REALLY BAD and ruined everything and person 2 is angry with them, person 1 says "I'm sorry," person 2 looks at them really disapprovingly, stands up, pauses, looks at them and says "me too" just before walking away.
That's the easiest translation of a really common Japanese phrase. More creative localization would come up with other ways to say this ("Well, there's not much we can do about it now...").

"What have I done?"
Any variants of "I/he/she have/has to do this myself/himself/herself."

I like how this was subverted in Rick and Morty. Actually, I really enjoy it when a lot of these stock phrases/cliches/tropes are subverted or lampshaded. Some self-awareness is good.

Just saw the first replies but how "You don't get it, do you?" wasn't mentioned. I don't think there's one single movie or TV show without that line in the entire world lol
Also a pattern for people who only pretend to listen because it certainly helps not getting caught!

"I don't have time to explain"
Often used when if they did explain the other person has useful info that would help quickly solve the issue. Also used when if they did explain the other person would *record scratch* and veto the crazy plan and suggest going to the cops or someone instead.

I was referring more to dubs using it as a filler when they don't have a concrete reply to use.
Anyway
"As you know, (expository dialogue)"
Lol, didn't expect to run into this reference here.

That's why I liked Winter Soldier. Cap vs WS in the Hellicarrier. Cap handles him pretty easily gets his back and chokes him out.

This is why Jeff Goldblum in Jurassic Park was an incredible piece of acting. Seriously.

The wilhelm scream. It's a scream that's been used for 50 years but recently it seems like every film wants to feature it because of it being so used. It always sounds really out of place too compared to modern sounds. Please stop using it in every film ever made!

I don't know, when I come home and everyone is gone, I usually call out something really similar to this to make sure I am alone in the house.

Honestly, none of the examples in this thread (outside the anime/manga one about saying a character's name) bothers me at all. But THIS? Fuck this trope.
It's so annoying and unrealistic. That's why Watchmen was so refreshing with how the antagonist approached his goal.
I know this to be true, but it doesn't bother me because I don't notice it.

I know the types of scenes you mean, but to be far, when you see some crazy explainable things, it is infinitely more likely that you're just hallucinating, than that whatever you saw really exists. Being sceptical there is a fair game.

"He/she didn't make it."
There is a youtube video of like 10 minutes of movies with just that line.

I honestly fail to see what's so wrong with those. "It's complicated" can be used correctly for brevity, for example if the viewer knows the full story but the receiving character doesn't (and it can be implied to be explained to them later).
"Don't you see?" followed by an impatient explanation is reasonable enough. So, no, I don't see the problem with this one.
And "s/he didn't make it", well... sure it's cliché but how else would you write a line explaining as gently as possible that someone, well, didn't make it? Just saying "s/he died/fell/got eaten by the monster"?
Ok, the spoiler made this post. That's just really funny.
