Cliches and Archetypes in Media

After reading archetypes of literature, I had a thought about other "mediums" of literature such as popular television cliches revolving around comedy. Most mainstream comedies are centered around poking fun of the middle-aged male. A lot of the time he is overweight and may be clever, but not necessarily intelligent. Animated sitcoms such as Family Guy and The Simpsons are a more radical form of this central idea. Just a pondering of mine.

I shall endeavor to think of more "mediums" of literature.
