The Gruff Dwarven Fighter: Yes. In fact, it was the only dwarf anyone out of my main circle of players has ever played.
The Conan-wannabe Womanizing Barbarian: Yes, although he was a fighter, he was still the same thing. Played by the same player as above.
The Brooding Loner: Oh yeah. Often incorporated into any character, and again, played by the above player.
The Good-Aligned Drow: Unfortunately, yes. But at least this one is by a different player! Oh, he weilds scimitars, too.... *shudder*
The Dumb Half-Orc: The usual Player 'o Cliche played one as his very first 3E character!
The Nimble Elven Archer: Oddly enough, I can't remember any.
The Self-Righteous Paladin: Nope. The same infamous player played a paladin, though it was 1E and he was just playing for the power of it. This is the character where the player growled "kill her and take her finger!". He was referring to an old woman who wanted lots of money for information, and they player figured speak with dead would be easier.
The Kleptomanical Halfling Thief: Same player... it was his very first character, too. The player made these strange mewling/grunting sounds often, instead of speaking
The Tinkering Gnome: Not at all. In fact, I don't think anyone has ever played a gnome. So God must not totally hate me

I have the gruff dwarf fighter right now. (Heavy armor, 22 con, toughness, Cha 6.)
I am lucky enough to never have any of the other stereotypes in my group. (Which I guess makes them not stereotypes, since I have never seen them.)
But I should point out one thing: the Druid in the group is not a vegan. In fact, she has no qualms about eating flesh raw. Hey, her dire lion companion does it all the time!

By far the worst, and almost ubiquitous because many groups include a min/maxing munchkin of a player who wants 20 strength. Often comes complete with bullying obnoxious personality (with death threats for party members who don't fall into line; remember, 20 strength) and stupid voice.
My patience level for this sort of character is quite low.
