The BK one was looking pretty normal to me too ... I think they just added some gloss. As for the rest, I dunno, some of them I found pretty damned funny and creative, others just got the ol' glossy reflection but then again that's all a lot of web 2.0 logos are anyway - text, gloss, reflect, presto!
A couple of good blog entries on Web cliches can be found on the "Modern Life" blog, <a class="user" href="http://www.modernlifeisrubbish.co.uk/">http://www.modernlifeisrubbish.co.uk/</a> (it's not mine, so I don't think this counts as blogspam). The more recent one, "2007: More Web Design Trends & Cliches", has a pointer to the earlier one, "8 Web Design Clichés of 2006".

Very funny but the Hitlr! logo at the end totally killed the vibe for me... weird.
