Meme lore

What is the Clean All The Things meme?

Clean All The Things (the “X All The Y” snowclone) is a Hyperbole and a Half panel: Allie Brosh’s pink stick-figure alter ego lunges with a mop/broom and a yellow burst, screaming a manic to-do. This blank has no baked caption — you supply the verb. The joke is unsustainable adult enthusiasm.

How the joke works

Top names a small trigger; bottom is an all-caps verb plus ALL THE THINGS! One manic overcommitment, not a calm to-do list.

Tone: manic, unhinged, determined, doomed

Caption tips

  • Keep the top box short and grounded in a recognizable trigger.
  • Make the bottom box the biggest possible overreaction in the X ALL THE Y cadence.
  • Do not cover the stick figure’s face; top sits in the white headroom.
  • Calm reasonable chores
  • Leaving off ALL THE THINGS
  • Treating the drawing as if CLEAN ALL THE THINGS is already baked in
