For over 130 years, the world of cinema has never ceased to amaze audiences. Since the first premiere on December 28, 1895, on Boulevard des Capucines, where the Lumière brothers, Auguste and Louis, unveiled a marvel to the assembled crowd, hundreds of thousands of films have been shot.
That’s a staggering number! And yet, despite all that variety, there are certain things that unite almost every single one of them. Believe us, it’s pretty funny once you notice it. Don’t believe us?
Then check out this selection from AdmiGram.com of the funniest and most bizarre clichés in movies — the ones we never even notice. You’ll spot every single one of these in your favorite movies and TV shows!
Amusing Things You’ll Learn Only from Movies
- If the characters learn some quirky trick or self-defense move in the middle of the movie, they’ll use it to save the entire universe from evil by the end of the film.
- Any refrigerator left open at night illuminates the kitchen better than the brightest light bulb.
- Before assembling a bomb, the villain always buys red, green, blue, and yellow wires. Connecting the circuit with a single-colored wire is apparently a faux pas.
- If someone coughs heavily in a movie, it’s a 100% sign of an incurable disease that will be revealed somewhere in the middle of the film.
- All dogs in movies bark only at villains.
- Any door in any house can be knocked down with a single blow — unless it’s the door behind which a villain is about to kill some girl.
- If a woman and a man strongly hate each other at the beginning of the movie, they’ll definitely get married by the end of it.
- All police officers, whether good or bad, go to a strip club at some point in the movie.
- If someone reaches for cash in their wallet, they always pull out the exact amount — without counting or even looking.
- If a villain tries to drown a woman, anything can happen except her mascara running or her hairstyle getting ruined.
- When a movie shows a writer typing a book, they never press the space key — unlike everyone else who’s ever typed on a computer.
- All computers, smartphones, and other gadgets in movies boot up in 1-2 seconds.
- Everyone who has a nightmare wakes up bolt upright with wide-open eyes.
- All women in movies use the same super-secret brand of lipstick. It never smudges, no matter what happens, and it never leaves a trace — even during kisses.
- Radiation invisible to the human eye always glows bright green in the movies.
- If the music swells and the main characters are doing better than usual, something scary or bad is about to happen.
- If the protagonist is falsely accused and there’s a TV or radio in the frame, there will always be a news report about the case.
- If there’s a bomb in the movie, it will always have a display with big numbers — red or green — counting down.
- All aliens use computers running an OS suspiciously similar to Windows, and none of them bother with antivirus software — which is exactly how the protagonist manages to infect their systems with a scary computer virus.
- Anyone traveling by car never has trouble finding a free parking spot.
