What about that nod and grunt that every female character in every piece of Japanese media does?It's better than two characters staring at each other then nodding.
This one. So much.Every horror movie.
Hello, is there anyone there?

Ah, Kursosaki kun!
Oh, Orihime!
Both: Chad!
Chad: Oh, Kurosaki, Orhime!
The classic "Are you okay?" after a dangerous situation is always boring though. In real life, that's fine. But it fills like filler in media.
Two superheroes yap at each other about some domestic bullshit whilst fighting badguys
'Oh like the time you and X went loco in Y?'
'Don't remind me'
They tag team a robot or alien or whatever the fuck
'You owe me for that!'
'Yeah, and what about that time in Z?!'
'I had that under control!'
Big bad appears, genero death face magoo
'Someone got out the wrong side of bed this morning!'
Sparrows headbutts wall
Or just repeat the last few words of whatever the person just said, Dougie style.
It's just lazy filler when they have to put a quick line in a character's mouth.
Not so much a common line, but more like a hand to hand combat trope that's always bugged me in TV and movies.
Good Guy vs Bad Guy, the fight almost always goes like:
TV shows fall back on this so often it's like a standard cut and paste into any script, and almost any time I watch something I'm completely disengaged by the fight scenes. I recently started watching Black Sails and this is pretty much every single sword fight or duel involving main characters. There are some exceptions to the rule; Daredevil comes to mind, where the main character really DOES get fucked up in fights.
- Fight starts evenly between GG and BG
- GG appears to be getting the upper hand
- BG gets in a solid but non-lethal blow to GG and we're meant to think this could suddenly go badly (cut to the arm, a few good punches in, etc). This is usually accompanied with some sort of monologuing on the part of BG.
- GG musters willpower (with a speech?), beats up BG and saves the day
In big blockbuster movies this can pretty much be applied to the entire latter third of a movie.

"Shhh, did you guys hear that?"Worse. "Guys, this isn't funny!".
I can't believe I still see this type of line in horror movies.
I hate this so much and I don't understand why writers can't come up with a different way to say that line, or just not have characters explicitly say that they're similar.'We're alike, you and I' or conversely 'We're not so different'
Fuck you, I didn't watch 2 hours of this shit for you to pontificate bull with the antagonist.
