Translating something from an ancient language and have it rhyme perfectly in English every single time.
Normal people living in an apartment big enough to be a sound stage?
Medical issues in an American show where no one seems worried about how to afford the care?
People being clever and quippy through an entire conversation? Especially without seeming like a prick? And with long pauses where editors can put in a laugh track?
Similarly, people making highly self-aware expressions of their feelings, especially at work or in public?
Every person in some organization being fit and attractive?
Technology working perfectly and requiring only 1~3 seconds to do anything, unless the plot calls for it to dramatically fail?
People starting a sentence, going somewhere else, and then finishing the sentence?
Cops talk down a person in a mental health crisis instead of shooting them.
The convenient plot device of hitting someone on the head just right to knock them out in one hit without causing brain damage or death. Oh, and the person just wakes up, rubs their head for a second, and they’re back to normal.
Yep or they have amnesia (often cured by a second blow to the head)
People ending a phonecall without saying goodbye. Just... why?
Someone calling you to turn the telly on and the presenter just starts recapping what happened.

Turn on: anchor: "...is truly historic. Books will be dedicated to this. We'll cut to a quick comercial break and be right back."
