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:
