Explanation

'Amused' means entertained or finding something funny, which is not a synonym of 'hackneyed' (overused, trite, or lacking originality). Clichéd, vapid, and stale all describe something worn out through overuse or lacking freshness, which are synonyms of hackneyed. Amused describes a reaction to something, not the quality of being overused.
