RPG type cartoon cliches

So anyway, whilst killing time this morning, I happened to come across some crappy Megaman cartoon. I tell you, that particular episode broke so many cliches...
so my question is: how many cartoon based cliches can you name? usually these cartoons are based on games or they can easily be made into them, like yugioh, pokemon, digimon, megaman, that duel cards or duel masters, whatever the crap that was.
Blame himself guy
In the darkest moment of the day as some guy pwns the city, theres one of the main characters who becomes all sad and depressed, blaming himself on the whole situation. I hate that guy.
Worst. Voice acting. Ever
There's got to be one character who's actor was either unmotivated, the voice doesn't match the characters appearance, or s/he just sounds like ****. Shudder.
Captain Smartass
While the world is blowing up, some smart guy in a white suit will be explaining everything to the main party of the cartoon, and dispite logic he will be able to explain
everything
to a tee. If he's so smart, why didn't he avoid the situation?
Reduced Mass
So Megaman fights this giant wolf thingo that is destroying the city. This creature is like, a good 1000 times his size. So of course, Megaman floats up to its head, and with one fell punch, sends this creature over there. Now, according to physics, Megaman's arm would probably break from all that energy and shizzle. Goddamn.
Evil Big Brother
Ok, so, no matter where they are IN THE WORLD the main bad guy will have a camera system set up there. Now, these cameras will get amazing shots, full frontal face shots, unbelievable shots and yet the characters will not notice them. Worst still,
Cheetah Cam
is when the main character is running, or worse FLYING THROUGH THE AIR and the camera that the bad guy is watching through at his base is keeping up with the main hero, dispite the fact that the angle never changes, and usually neither does the background. Keeping in mind, if the camera is also flying through the air, the hero SHOULD be able to notice that could with the camera pointed at him.
Annoying Person
There never is a show with someone who isn't annoying. Unfortuantly, the main character is the annoying person for Pokemon.
Always good, always powerful
You'd think that someone with the power to stop all the bad guys would have the brains to take over the world. Nope. Would make it interesting though.
I started it off, your turn!

I can only think of one right now...
Darkest moments become good things
Whenever the main character feels let down or he's lost something or something like that, his friends rush to his aid and comfort him and then something good happens and everything brightens up to end the episode. Then the process repeats.

The 'if' Rule
When the main character makes a plan, the 'if' part always seems to happen, and the plan is always full-proof.
Hair Color
the hair color of the main super hero is ussually black.
Ex. Superman, Batman, Robin, etc...
Generalization Rule
For some reason, everbody seems to think that black people are always huge and bulky and have all the bad-a** toys.
Girl Rule Pt. 1
If there's a girl character in the story, the main guy likes her, but doesn't have the guts to tell her until all hope seems lost.
Girl Rule Pt. 2
More than likely, the girl hero wears revealing clothes and has big boobs.

Cheap labour
Usually, the bad guy has a couple of henchmen, they would appear to be the most retarded people in the show, and they don't look very threatening either. These are the people you wonder why evil bad guys bother hiring in the first place. Then you think, they probably get paid $1 an hour.

Sort of an extension of the "If" and "Psychic" rules..
The Idea Rule
If a hero is explaining to his friends an idea that might work to solve the current crisis, that idea WILL work, in exactly the way s/he planned it, with absolutly nothing interfering with it.

If i were a clown, would you hold me when I'm down?/I wish I had someone to make me drown/So many people don't know that it's so damn hard to be a clown/I am the clown with the giant frown/My heart is in a state of being upside down...

This mainly applies to anime:
The bathing rule
When a girl is taking a bath, a guy will usually either be peeping on her or will accidentally stumble in on her.
