1. Anti-heroes. Too many of them. If you ever played City of Heroes, you'd find more dark, brooding cliche "heroes" than you'll find shadowy, dark types on the villain side. If anything, the villains were upbeat and fun loving.
Evil shall always triumph over good, because good sucks.

2. Smirking. Smirking is a filler action that means nothing. No one is cool for doing it. You're not the president of the United States, so stop smirking. :P
Smirking is fine, as long as the smirker doesn't whine when someone punches them in the face. Repeatedly. For being such a smarmy bastard.

3. Too many triple-dots in an attempt to make something sound profound, when it really just sounds pretentious. Example: "The extent of my power will remain unknown..."
This is where you beat the speaker with a baseball bat, then claim you were just checking to see if they were still alive, since they stopped talking in mid sentence and all.

4. Cross-genre play. Sorry, you're NOT a vampire (in Star Wars Galaxies), you're NOT a dark elf (the same, and on the SAME character bio!), and you're especially NOT a Sith Lord (found one on Everquest).
I'M DRIZZZZZZZT62! I LIVE IN TEH UNDERDARK, NOT TEH NERIAK!

5. Actions that tell other people what happens to them. Such as: *smashes you across the face, sending you spinning before you splay on the floor, unconscious*
Oh, that's not bad. What's really disturbing is the ever popular Eyes That Pierce Your Soooulllll! OooooO! (Scary music!)

6. People who lean on corners of rooms. There's only so many corners that can be occupied by brooding, mysterious dark anti-heroes, mmkay?
Ever try to lean in a corner? Gah.
Orphans: Dead parents are fine. (Anatolius' parents are dead, for example.) Orphans are even fine. Orphans created by some evil mastermind who tragically ran a red light and slaughtered the supposed hero's parents, however, are not.
And my own personal pet peeve:
You are not Drizzt. Or Drizzzt. Or Drizzzzt. Or Drizzzzzzt. Or Dr1zzzzzt. Legolas does not live in Antonica. Nor does he live in Camelot. Nor does he, in fact, fly around in a Megathron. Also, Tolkien's elves had decent grammar and could properly spell 'you'.
