a: Cliche ~
b: a bad photocopy of a photocopy

What: "There is a difficult distinction between a cliche, a stereotype and an archetype. A cliche is like a bad photocopy of a photocopy. A stereotype is like an embarrassing piece of war propaganda from old days. But an archetype is different, it's like the bone of certain old stories. It's the way archetypes are portraited that makes them stereotype or cliche."
