Contemporary comedy cliches are incredibly important for the genre. Cliches often used include a romantic sub-plot. There is usually a slob or a loser who falls in love with a beautiful, but shy girl. He then has to overcome the impending disasters facing him, usually caused by the bumbling best friend or his need to stop being a loser. An example for the second option is Yes Man. This also includes a lot of physical comedy as well.

Another cliche is the bumbling father who wants his kids to think he is cool and therefore acts like a teenager. This can even lead to a mystical wish which ends up turning him into a child. This happens in the film big.
There is also lots of blood and flatulence which adds to the aspect of physical comedy.
