I refer you back several months ago if you missed the first installment of "tv and film conventions that can be a little stupid." This edition: technology!
Elevator rides always take exactly as long as the conversation one needs to have in them...
...unless it's going to be a long conversation, in which case someone pulls the "emergency stop" button, triggering an alarm. (Have you every known anyone to do this in real life to have a private conversation with someone?)
When a person wants to destroy a computer, he typically destroys the monitor. Granted, monitors aren't cheap, but trashing one isn't going to do anything to the computer.
People who play video games hold their controllers up in the air, straight out in front of them, and mash all the buttons they possibly can as fast as they possibly can, in no discernable pattern.

the elevator thing applies to turbolifts as well. even Picard vocally halted the lift to finish his point sometimes, too : )
I always find it interesting to figure out which game console they have by what controllers they are using. Cartman had an Xbox 360 in the Dog Whisperer/nanny episode.

Sandy used to hit the emergency stop...
And look what happened to him.
I love how often they use sounds from video games a generation ago when people on tv are supposedly playing modern games. Like, Mario or Zelda (from NES) sounds when they are playing an X-Box or something
