Where the Do all the things meme comes from
The image originated from Allie Brosh's webcomic and blog 'Hyperbole and a Half,' in a 2010 post about cleaning and productivity spiraling out of control. The comic went viral immediately and became one of the most recognizable early meme formats to come from a personal blog.
How to caption the Do all the things meme

Best uses for the Do all the things template
Use the Do all the things template when the joke fits a situation format and the image can explain the feeling before the reader finishes the caption. It is strongest for relatable everyday moments, before-and-after jokes, and social observations.
This blank is 736 x 551 px and is a still image, so place the most important words where they stay readable after a feed crop. The wide frame works best when the caption stays centered so timeline crops do not cut off the joke.
The sample captions leave room for a setup and a punchline without turning into a paragraph. Before exporting, read the caption once without looking at the image; if it still needs a long explanation, switch to a simpler setup or a more obvious related template.
Caption patterns to try
| Pattern | Why it works |
|---|---|
| Reply to ALL the emails before lunch! | This works because it gives the reader a specific situation instead of a vague label. |
| Learn ALL the programming languages this weekend! | This pattern keeps the setup concrete, which helps the template carry the reaction. |
| Clean ALL the rooms and reorganize ALL the closets today! | This is a useful direction when you want the punchline to feel personal or self-aware. |
Common mistakes with this blank
- Writing a caption that explains the whole joke instead of letting the Do all the things image do part of the work.
- Placing text over the most expressive part of the image, especially faces, gestures, signs, or the main action.
- Using three different ideas in one meme. This template works better when it points at one clear situation.
- Exporting before checking the meme at phone size. If the smallest words blur together, shorten the caption first.
