I'll just throw a few in to start off.
L[x]D = [y]- And yes, we all have to admit we've made l[x]d threads before, despite me being a fan of them, they are overused to the max and we should *try* to use them in moderation. I'm happy that OT is slowly cutting down on them from what I can tell, and I hope that continues.
Bait - Ah, yes, bait, the thing that tons of OTers still think people fall for. Now, sure, there are a *FEW* good baiters out there. But 95% of the time, it's just the newbags that fall for the bait, or nobody at all. It really doesn't accomplish anything other than getting someone to post "bait" on the thread, people very rarely fall for it anymore and it kind-of defeats the purpose. Now, there are a few good baiters out there, but OT is so used to bait at this point it's pathetic almost to even try to bait, you'd have to be pretty good at it. But wait, you may ask, there ARE people who give serious responces to bait. Now, that can be true, but usually people just do that for the hell of it. Not because they *actually* believe the bait, at least that's my case.
Ask me anything - Now this *can* be entertaining at times, but again it's just being overused to the max. That's really the problem with most of these trends, if we could try to cut down use of them, we'd be better and have more intriguing topics. But hey, that's just me. Hell, I'm guilty of this too, and I'm pretty sure at one point or another we *all* were guilty of everything whereof I just mentioned.
I don't know why I wrote a paragraph about each, but feel free to list more ITT.

"You remember the old crush threads in 2012?"
I wasn't an OTer in 2012, as such I don't remember them.
Tell me about them.

Crush threads are overused as well.
I'd also have to say PokemonEevee related threads are too.
I don't really mind any type of thread in moderation, but when all we talk about is what I just mentioned, then OT becomes really boring.

"count to (insert number here)"
I'd say that's not *really* that annoying. I'll give that a half, since it's used *somewhat* in moderation.

"the people here existing"
I'm sorry, but how would you classify that as a trend exactly, my good sir?

they're alright but when it's like "Count to 1000!" it is generally at that point a cover for post farming. |

Honestly there is a lot of postfarming here on OT and I'll admit I used to do that just a month ago or so, but in retrospect I find it really stupid.

"John Cena."
I don't really see people using John Cena here on OT, it seems to be more of an "MLG" 11-year-old "PRO COD GAMER" type thing.

+ (half) OT Ships, they are somewhat well contained, but a bit overused now.

It's obviously a joke, lmao, I just have a very weird sense of humor by making everything literal.
I guess that just makes things funny in my mind.

Not even an excuse, really, I'm serious my good sir.
Then again, humor is a subjectively interpreted thing, and my humor is in making things literal as stupid as that sounds. Taking things seriously puts a whole new meaning to things.
