If you're referring to older, unsophisticated stories, where the author was being quite straightforward, then "clichéd" is probably what you want. (Plain old _unsophisticated_ works too, or _broad_ or _simplistic._) If you're referring to current stories, or your own, where you're aware of such stereotypes and you're parodying them, you might say you're being "ironic." That only works if you actually _are_ being ironic and you're mocking the stereotypes by overplaying them rather than writing as though it's correct.
