About
All the Things, sometimes known as X all the Y, is a snowclone and exploitable cartoon used to make a hyperbolic statement about performing an action. The person in the original comic panel is often manipulated to appear as a different character. (See also: fsjal)
Origin
The blog Hyperbole and a Half[1] published a comic titled "This is Why I'll Never be an Adult" by artist Allie Brosh on June 17th, 2010. The comic describes the author's frustration with her inability to maintain a consistent enthusiasm for her daily responsibilities. The following two panels were part of the comic:
Derivatives often use one of these two images.
Spread
A Canvas[2] thread that featured remixed images "clean all the things?" panel was created on April 28th, 2011. It was posted to the Canvas blog[3] on May 2nd, 2011.
A Reddit thread posted on June 23rd titled "Every afternoon on NPR"[4] had a derivative that parodied the radio show "All Things Considered", and reached the front page, receiving 6,299 upvotes. On June 25th a derivative was posted titled "How I feel whenever I play a Lego anything videogame"[5] to Reddit's rage comic f7u12 subreddit, and received 95 upvotes. On June 27th, a derivative was posted titled "Whenever I build a campfire"[6] that received 451 upvotes.
The /r/allthethings[7] subreddit was created on July 13th, 2011, and has 97 subscribers as of August 18th, 2011.
Like most of the other ragefaces, the "CLEAN ALL THE THINGS!" comic touches a direct nerve in me and in many redditors. This community is devoted to memetic variations on that wonderful image.

I love this meme, but this article needs work. The easiest thing to work on are the "Origin" section; for one thing the original comic was called "This is Why I'll Never be an Adult," not "Why I'll Never be an Adult." Also, I'd suggest using a Hyperlink to the comic instead of just a footnote. I'd also suggest some more specific background info about the specific entry.

Use of the image exploded after that event, so I think it deserves a mention.

They say something similar to this often in Homestuck.
View all the images!
Added in the templates for the extremely lazy (Such as myself) who don't want to have to erase the text and color in the yellow shape every-time. I was thinking of changing the title to "X all the Y !/?" since just about every example uses ! or ?. Any thoughts?
Wouldn't it be great if the button wich says: "Show all images" be: "Show ALL the Images"?
I keep wanting to make a doctor one that says "Take off ALL the clothes!" But i'm bad at drawing doctor coats.

i hate this meme so much… its not even a little bit funny.
BURRY ALL THE HATE
Can somebody please tell me how this is funny?
@infected guy
You will NEVER infect me, is that clear?
Whenever I read this meme, its always "X, all da Tings!" Maybe I have a speech impediment or the internet is degrading my brain because I use it too much.
Either way, awesome meme.
Anyone else notice this looks like Finn in the wizard episode. "Get all of the spells!"
OH MY GOODNESS A TALES OF SYMPHONIA PIC!
This entry just got that much more epic.
I know I've seen this meme somewhere on the website. SEARCH ALL THE PROFILES!!!

Get off this site, you dunce.
TF2 Heavy:EAT ALL THE SANDVICHES!
agree with drpenguinwarrior, in Adventure Time S01E06 Wizard, Finn states “ALL the star badges” in a similar pose holding a broomstick. I laughed my ass off, thinking the creators might have been influenced by this meme :D
know ALL the memes!
Read all the youtube comments in "Gangnam Style"!
To those saying that Adventure Time was influenced by this meme:
The post from hyperbole and a half was made on June 17, 2010, and the episode Wizard (where Finn says "I want ALL THE STAR BADGES") was aired on May 10, 2010, almost a month before. In all likelihood, HaaH was influenced by AT.
Sorry if this was already figured out, but I didn't see it on here.
Wait, this is a 2010 meme? I thought it was a bit older… Well, I guess one learns new things every day.
