As for using the wrong cliches, if that's indeed done on purpose, then it's just really unfunny to me. I'm going to write something now where I characterize an Indonesian character with Chinese cliches. I expect it won't be funny at all.

Cliche's or opposites makes it "easy" to write, and simple for the viewers to understand. One of the reasons this show will be picked up again next year.
This is also one of the reasons Arrested Development failed. It was written too well and was too complicated or layered for the majority of viewers. Damn shame. One thing is for sure, Arrested Development raised the bar for comedy. Without it Community would be a 4/10 instead of a 6.5/10.
