I think it's funny or cute when you're young. Say if you are in your teens or early twenties, it is a reasonable cliche. People are still immature and haven't learned to handle difficult situations yet. It's an inoffensive way to diffuse the tension.
But once you're older or married it's a dealbreaker. You ought to know better and constructively address what your partner is upset about rather than resort to filmy cliches..
