Happy melodies (major?) are usually cheesy, samples from movies are most of the times cheesy... it also depends how they are used, long 16th note snare rolls that goes from quiet to loud are cheesy, Open hihat patterns that goes through a whole track between kick drums... you know... boom tsss boom tsss... are cheesy, too much reverb is cheesy........ there is more but I'll stop now. There are meny tracks that have cheesy elements but I ignore them if there is something else that I like. And sometimes I just surrender to the Power of Cheese... lol...
IMHO.
