AboutWhat does the meme depict?
The "All the Things" meme, also referred to as "X all the Y," is a format derived from a comic. It typically features a stick-figure character wildly gesturing with both arms raised, used to emphasize an exaggerated commitment to a particular action or cause. The character in this meme template often undergoes edits to represent different identities or contexts, enhancing the humor or relatability of the depicted scenario.
OriginWho did it first?
The meme originated from a comic titled "This is Why I'll Never be an Adult" created by Allie Brosh, which was published on her blog, Hyperbole and a Half, on June 17, 2010. The comic captures the artist's struggles to keep up with adult responsibilities consistently. A specific panel from this comic, featuring the character enthusiastically declaring intentions to complete numerous tasks, became the basis for the meme. The character's expressive pose and the hyperbolic nature of the statement have inspired a wealth of derivatives and adaptations. View the comic at Hyperbole and a Half.[1]
