The "All the Things" meme features a cartoon character enthusiastically raising a broom, originally drawn by artist Allie Brosh in her 2010 "Hyperbole and a Half" blog post titled "This is Why I'll Never be an Adult." The character exclaims, "Clean all the things!" in a humorous portrayal of sudden motivation to complete tasks. The meme format typically involves replacing "clean" with other actions, creating variations like "Eat all the things" or "Fix all the things." Its exaggerated expression and relatable sentiment of overwhelming enthusiasm or determination have made it a versatile and widely used meme across the internet.
