Banal

/bəˈnɑːl/ adjective easy

So ordinary and overused that it has become dull and unoriginal.

The greeting card's banal message of 'thinking of you' felt like it could have been printed on a million other cards.

Memory Trick

Banal rhymes with 'canal,' and like water gliding down the same worn channel every day, a banal remark just follows the same tired path everyone else has already taken.
