History Main / ScifiKitchenSink

* ''Franchise/OnePiece'' has a MadScientist with a specialization in chemistry, cloning, time travel, cyborgs, robots, lazers, and more.

* ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'' could be called either an post-apocalypse kitchen sink or a sink that focuses on sci-fi elements popular in TheFifties. You've got radiation-warped mutants, immortal zombies that gradually turn feral as their minds break down, robots ranging from Robby of ''Film/ForbiddenPlanet'' to ''Terminator''-esque synths, one or two LittleGreenMen, drugs that bestow psychic powers, [[BrainInAJar disembodied living brains]], and even a few people who bring justice to the wasteland by dressing up as ancient superheroes.

* While magic does exist, ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' mainly follows super-scientists, superheroes and supervillains who all have powers born from technology and "super-science".

* ''WebOriginal/SpaceCadet'' was designed to be this from the beginning.

* The ''Literature/CaptainUnderpants'' books are a comedic example, featuring Superhumans, Mad Scientists, Robots, Time travel, A Mirror universe, Space Aliens, PoweredArmor and HumongousMecha.

* The ''Literature/CaptainUnderpants'' books are a comedic example, featuring Superhumans, Mad Scientists, Robots, Time travel, A Mirror universe, Space Aliens, PoweredArmor and HumungousMecha.

* ''Franchise/StarWars'' is a kitchen sink of MilitaryScienceFiction, SpaceOpera and HighFantasy tropes. Thousands of different races including [[OurVampiresAreDifferent several vampires]], [[RaptorAttack space velociraptors]], insect {{hive mind}}s, EnergyBeings that might as well be ghosts, and three different [[ZombieApocalypse zombie types]]. Everything from massive ship-to-ship battles, to space fighters, to {{Humongous Mecha}}. Hacking (called slicing) is on, AI and robots galore, there's time travel (albeit by accident), FTL, and so on.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Infinity}}'' is much the same - Cyberpunk tropes happily contained in [=PanOceania=]'s warring hypercorps and corporate troops alongside Space Knights, European troopers in armor heavily inspired by ''Manga/{{Appleseed}}'''s E-SWAT, and soldiers that are heavily based on the [[FilmOfTheBook film version]] of ''Film/StarshipTroopers'' (down to the "Would you like to know more?" CatchPhrase), space Samurai, ninja, and sprawling animeesque and East Asian sci-fi in Yu Jing, a UsedFuture in the Ariadnans (who are mostly military-fiction, unchanged 20th[=/=]21st century units wielding rifles that wouldn't be out of place in a modern setting) and the Nomads (who experiment with bioengineering, giving us Space {{Catgirl}}s and put the punk in cyberpunk with anarchist sci-fi tropes and punk-inspired designs, with futuristic Roller Derby gals as a unit), an America left devastated by a nanoswarm, becoming a ''Film/MadMax''-esque [[AfterTheEnd apocalyptic wasteland]], ''Literature/{{Dune}}''-esque Haqqislam units who literally control the Spice flow, ''Franchise/{{Halo}}''-esque Morats hired by an insane conglomerate of [=AI=]s, bio-tech, organic Tohaa - all watched by a TronLines-and-[[EverythingIsAnIpodInTheFuture Apple-esque]] faction, ALEPH, who attempt to bring order to the human factions.

* ''WebOriginal/OrionsArm'' is a [[SlidingScale/MohsScaleOfScienceFictionHardness scientifically-hard kitchen sink,]] featuring just about every theoretical concept under the sun, including megastructures, [[{{Transhuman}} transhumans]] and [[DeusEstMachina computer gods.]]

* ''Literature/{{Spectral Shadows}}'' could qualify for this. There's a {{Mad Scientist}}, a world in a time that takes place {{After the End}}, there's {{Time Travel}}, {{Funny Animal}}s that evolved from genetic slag due to weaponized acid rain, there's an intergalactic empire of {{Space Pirates}}, android funny animals, a [[Franchise/TheMatrix a virtual reality RPG where one can learn powers at the expense of feeling any and all pain]], world warping powers, a space ship that can travel time and space, humongous mechas, and more.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' - sometimes it's like each army is there to be a representative of a different sort of science fiction. Your SpaceMarines are your, unsurprisingly, post-[[Creator/RobertAHeinlein Heinleinian]] SpaceMarines infused with knights and religious fervor; the Imperium fields big ''TabletopGame/BattleTech''-style mechs; the Imperial Guard are essentially ''Franchise/StarWars''' stormtroopers (which are even referenced by name!) with several different flavors ranging from UsefulNotes/WorldWarI trench warfare (the Death Korps of Krieg) to [[UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar Vietnam]]-style survivalists (Catachans); Tyranids are books are about BugWar; Tau are {{animesque}} mecha and firepower and TheFederation; Eldar are ClarksThirdLaw SufficientlyAdvancedAliens that lean heavily towards {{ninja}}-style weapons (everything they fire are shurikens), rely on psychic powers, and take the traditional Japanese leaning; spaceship battles feel like they come out of the ''Literature/HonorHarrington'' universe; Necrons are ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' and so on. If anybody wants to write about or parody a certain type of science fiction, then they can.

* ''Franchise/MetalGear'' has [[ArtificialHuman clones]], {{Cyborg}}s, {{Nanomachines}}, PsychicPowers, HumongousMecha and artificial intelligence.

* ''WebOriginal/{{Space Cadet}}'' was designed to be this from the beginning.

* ''Franchise/StarWars'' is a kitchen sink of MilitaryScienceFiction, SpaceOpera and HighFantasy tropes. Thousands of different races including [[OurVampiresAreDifferent several vampires]], [[RaptorAttack space velociraptors]], insect {{hive mind}}s, {{Energy Being}}s that might as well be ghosts, and three different [[ZombieApocalypse zombie types]]. Everything from massive ship-to-ship battles, to space fighters, to {{Humongous Mecha}}. Hacking (called slicing) is on, AI and robots galore, there's time travel (albeit by accident), FTL, and so on.

* ''VideoGame/{{Stellaris}}'' seems aiming to get every and all Sci-Fi tropes. There are [[FasterThanLightTravel faster-than-light engines]] in HyperspaceLanes, [[AnotherDimension Jump]] and [[OurWormholesAreDifferent Wormhole]] flavour as available means of travel. There are {{Artificial Intelligence}}s, [[AIIsACrapshoot going wild]] and not, [[GalacticSuperpower Ancient Star Empires]], alive [[{{Precursors}} and not]], [[SpaceWhale Space Jellyfish]], [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]], [[HordeOfAlienLocusts Hordes Of Alien Locusts]], evil {{Energy Being}}s and the aforementioned AI going wild as crisis super factions... and that's just the core game.

A good way to tell if a work is a Sci-Fi Kitchen Sink, is ask three questions. Is it in the Sci-Fi genre? [[MohsScaleOfSciFiHardness Is it softer than reality by a wide margin according to the scale?]] Does it use all or much of the stuff in the genre of Sci-Fi and not [[LampshadeHanging Hang A Lampshade]] on it? Answer yes to all three and you likely are dealing with a Sci-Fi Kitchen Sink.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' - sometimes it's like each army is there to be a representative of a different sort of science fiction. Your SpaceMarines are your, unsurprisingly, post-[[Creator/RobertAHeinlein Heinleinian]] SpaceMarines infused with knights and religious fervor; the Imperium fields big ''TabletopGame/BattleTech''-style mechs; the Imperial Guard are essentially ''Franchise/StarWars''' stormtroopers (which are even referenced by name!) with several different flavors, ranging from UsefulNotes/WorldWarI trench warfare (the Death Korps of Krieg) to [[UsefulNotes/TheVietnamWar Vietnam]]-style survivalists (Catachans); Tyranids are books are about BugWar; Tau are {{animesque}} mecha and firepower and TheFederation; Eldar are ClarksThirdLaw SufficientlyAdvancedAliens that lean heavily towards {{ninja}}-style weapons (everything they fire are shurikens), rely on psychic powers, and take the traditional Japanese leaning; spaceship battles feel like they come out of the ''Literature/HonorHarrington'' universe; Necrons are ''Franchise/{{Terminator}}'' and so on.

* The ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' movies increasingly became this especially into the Heisei series, featuring aliens, space travel, giant robots, androids, time travel, and various other scifi shenanigans.

* ''Webcomic/AxeCop'' uses a wide variety of sci-fi tropes in creative (and frequently [[CrazyAwesome ridiculous]]) ways.

Some shows love playing genre conventions, a FantasyKitchenSink will have everything in the mythological handbook and then some, TropeOverdosed works will keep adding tropes so long as they run, and then there are even shows [[TropeMaker that make new tropes.]]
