Squidward's Suicide isn't just criticized for cliches, it's criticized for being illogical and pretentious as well. And the cliches it does use, it doesn't bother to put a new spin on.

Reliance on cliches is lazy and uninspired if you don't at least try to change them up a little bit. If you put that little effort into your work, I'm gonna put just as much effort into reading it.
