* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': Given that the show is about boys building impossibly advanced technology, this is a given. It has had evil scientists, spy organizations, aliens, TimeTravel, RidiculouslyHumanRobots, advanced nanotechnology, superheroes and villains (including from the Franchise/MarvelUniverse, which is a SFKS all its own), teleportation, holograms, supercomputers, [AnotherDimension other dimensions], and sentient AIs (good and bad), to name a few.

* PerryRhodan is running for over 50 years now and did start with TheSpaceRace and then features things like AncientAstronauts, SufficientlyAdvancedAlien, AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence, TheBattlestar, CosmicChessGame, LensmanArmsRace, OrderVersusChaos, and and ... and we have not nearly covered everything in the first one hundred books.

* ''VideoGame/{{Stellaris}}'' seems aiming to get every and all Sci-Fi tropes. There are [[FasterThanLightTravel faster-than-light engines]], [[AnotherDimension Warp]] and [[OurWormholesAreDifferent wormholes]] as available means of travel. There are ArtificialIntelligence, [[AIIsACrapshoot going wild]] and not, [[GalacticSuperpower Ancient Star Empires]], alive [[{{Precursors}} and not]], [[SpaceWhale Space Jellyfish]] [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]], [[HordeOfAlienLocusts Hordes Of Alien Locusts]] and the list goes on.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' - sometimes it is 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, the Imperium fields big TableTop/BattleTech-style mechs, the Imperial Guard are essentially Franchise/StarWars' stormtroopers (which are even referenced by name!) with several different flavors, ranging from WW1 trench warfare (the Death Korps of Krieg) to 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 want to write about or parody a certain type of science fiction, then they can.

A Sci-Fi Kitchen Sink is for all intents and purposes the playground of Science Fiction Tropes and everything associated with them. Have an ArtificialIntelligence construct able to run the CoolStarshiFTLp? It makes you coffee in the morning. HumongousMecha? You walked by several on the way to work. FasterThanLightTravel? [[CasualInterstellarTravel Totally mastered to the point where even Joe Penniless can get a ride to the stars.]] [[BeamSpam Laser and particle beams as weapons?]] Everybody and their dog has one. The list of possible areas seems to be endless.

* ''Franchise/StarWars'' is a kitchen sink of MilitaryScienceFiction, SpaceOpera and HighFantasy tropes.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' - sometimes it is 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, Tyranids are books are about BugWar, Tau are {{animesque}} mecha and firepower and TheFederation, Eldar are ClarksThirdLaw SufficientlyAdvancedAliens, spaceship battles feel like they come out of the ''Literature/HonorHarrington'' universe, Necrons are Franchise/{{Terminator}} and so on.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}'': Everything that exists in the Sci Fi Writer's Handbook exists here plus a heaping helping of RuleOfFunny and ItRunsOnNonsensoleum. If it hasn't found some way of being incorporated well it likely will be.

* ''Franchise/MassEffect'': Combines everything in SpaceOpera genre together in a single package.

* In ''Literature/DragonsLexiconTriumvirate'', there are cyborg dragons, Technoknights, computers, and nukes [[Film/TheWizardOfOz oh my!]]

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

* The ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' series including its ExpandedUniverse. It has HumongousMecha, FasterThanLightTravel, ArtificialIntelligence, SpaceMarines, {{Precursors}}, etc. While the weirder aspects of SciFi like PsychicPowers or various {{Negative Space Wedgie}}s haven't show up in the games (although the [[TheVirus Flood]] HiveMind, Slipspace anomalies, and the [[spoiler:Ur-Didact's]] [[MagicFromTechnology gravity control powers]] come close), ''Literature/TheForerunnerSaga'' dips into that territory [[spoiler:by going the CosmicHorrorStory route, complete with EldritchStarships, GeniusLoci, and a SentientCosmicForce which allows technology to be made of ''thought'']].

* The ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'' series including its ExpandedUniverse. It has HumongousMecha, FasterThanLightTravel, ArtificialIntelligence, SpaceMarines, Precursors, and about the only thing it doesn't have is the weirder aspects of SciFi like PsychicPowers or various {{Negative Space Wedgie}}s, although the [[TheVirus Flood]] HiveMind and Slipspace anomalies come close, respectively.

* ''Series/DoctorWho'': there are three sorts of episodes. One type is the Doctor going back in time to some famous historical situation and finding aliens mucking about, another is the Doctor arriving in the present day and finding aliens mucking about, and the third, the type that makes the show a Sci-Fi Kitchen Sink, is the sort where the Doctor takes his companion to the future to basically show off a particular sort of sci fi idea. After 30+ years on the air, that's a lot of sci fi ideas.

* ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' - sometimes it is 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, Tyranids are books are about BugWar, Tau are animesque mecha and firepower and TheFederation, Eldar are ClarksThirdLaw SufficientlyAdvancedAliens, spaceship battles feel like they come out of the ''Literature/HonorHarrington'' universe, Necrons are TheTerminator and so on. If anybody want to write about or parody a certain type of science fiction, then they can.

* ''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 Animals}} that evolved from genetic slag due to weaponized acid rain, there's an intergalactic empire of {{Space Pirates}}, android funny animals, a [[{{TheMatrix}} 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.

* In the universe of IainBanks' hyper-advanced people, ''Literature/TheCulture'', there's everything from dystopian ultra-capitalist planets, small debauched backwaters, "Sublimed" civilisations living in entire other dimensions, neglectful precursors, {{Proud Warrior Race}}s, post-singularity communist civs...well, you get the idea. The fact that this is just a very incomplete list of some of the civilisation types should tip you off to the fact that this series mixes-and-matches an awful lot of sci-fi tropes. Tech levels vary right alongside the civilisations, although we rarely see a world a great deal less developed than present day Earth. Expect to see SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale stunningly averted, in both range and size of ships, drones, space battles, androids, sentient space-suits, conspiracies and counter-conspiracies.
