The following is a list of overused clichés. That doesn't mean to avoid them at all costs; in fact, some of these are overused because they are highly usable. But if the story you're planning on writing incorporates many of these, that should be a warning sign, as they tend to bring the reader out of the story, and will more than likely interfere with their suspension of disbelief.

And remember: this is a list of actual clichés, not complaints or opinions (no matter how valid they may be). If you have a complaint that isn't about clichés and more about things that generally tick you off in pastas, try making a blog post about it instead.

However, these aren't always to be avoided. If you can work one into a story well, then for God's sake make it.

Keep in note that if your story gets deleted for having the cliché reason, that means it wasn't par to the Quality Standards. These cliches may not relate to Roblox creepypastas, but as anyone may upload something with this, I needed to make this. Please note that clichés may also be blacklisted subjects, which usually warrants a pasta to be Marked for deletion. Please see the Blacklisted Subjects for more information.

General Clichés

 * 1) "Big mistake."
 * 2) I̷̝̮͎͙̙̱̪̮̬͌̚͝ ̴͙̠̫̰̥̘̤͔̝̂̆̐͛͐̿̑͘̚Á̷̲̹̪̮͉Ṃ̶̥̈́̈́̏̓ ̶̣̘͖̮̤̤̳̥̉̍̓͋̾̅͜Z̸̺̹͈̃̈́̿A̴̡͈͖̖̎̅͗͜͝L̷̺͚͔̩̤̆̍͆̀̎̚͘͠-- SHUT THE #### UP. How many times have I ever heard Zalgo text?
 * 3) "My parents were affected by an online video game because someone told them I was going to die!"
 * 4) The starting phrases "I know you're not going to believe this", "I was a intern at", or "I used to be a skeptic, but..."
 * 5) Making the first word/letter of every paragraph spell out something, usually something along the lines of "DON'T LOOK BEHIND YOU!" This usually makes the reader laugh from such a silly attempt to scare, especially if they're sitting with a wall behind them.
 * 6) Ending the pasta with "YOU'RE NEXT!!!!" or implying that the audience is the next target. This typically fails to scare the audience and comes off as implausible. How would a ghost/being/killer track down everyone that read a story to murder them, and why?
 * 7) Satanism. That's all.
 * 8) The numbers 6, 13, or 666.
 * 9) Starting a story with "Don't read this or you'll be cursed," or similar will just make people not read it (or, they might read it and lose interest within seconds).
 * 10) Evil shadows.
