A frequent visitor to the jam-packed corridors of YouTube is an ongoing trend that some people refer to as a \u201cpop culture megamix\u201d and what other, more sensible individuals call a \u201csupercut.\u201d \u201cWhat is a supercut?\u201d I hear you curiously questioning. Well, a supercut is usually defined as a video montage that exists to highlight and bring attention to an overused plot device or line of dialogue that has at some point or another plagued either television or cinema screens, or sometimes both. The montage typically acts as an overblown compilation of examples of a certain hackneyed movie\/TV cliche being used by lazy screenwriters, with mini clips pasted together with monotonous\/hilarious repetition. A supercut can also be person-specific (focusing on one actor or filmmaker\u2019s quirks and tropes) or centred on a single TV show or movie.<\/p>\n

The trend\u2019s origins can be traced all the way back to 2006, after which it went viral, with hundreds of very imaginative and highly entertaining supercut videos uploaded to YouTube ever since. Below are twenty of the finest, assembled in no particular order.<\/p>\n
