''Someone's In the Kitchen!'' is a point-and-click kitchen simulator published by Creator/DreamworksInteractive in 1996. In the game are [[AnimateInanimateObject various talking appliances]] who help you make foods for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert under the guidance of your chef's assistant, a talking chef's hat. As you go through the recipes a variety of goofy things happen including the ingredients doing small skits and the appliances getting into arguments, much to the chagrin of the chef's hat. After the food is made, it is then eaten by the eternally hungry dog Taste Test IV. The game also has an experiment mode where you can mess with ingredients to make your own recipes and discover new recipes to put into the cookbook. The cast noticeably includes some big animation voice actors including Creator/RobPaulsen, Creator/TressMacNeille, Creator/JeffBennett, Ryan O'Donohue, and Creator/MaryKayBergman.

Not to be confused with the lyrics from ''I've Been Working on the Railroad'', though the title was probably inspired by the lyrics, or the infamous Franchise/SpongebobSquarepants episode.

* AmbiguousGender: The gender of the chef's hat is never specified, though their voice is feminine.
* BigEater: Taste Test the dog is always ready to eat something.
* CoolOldGuy: Smokey the stove is a grumpy but friendly old appliance who treats both the player and Toby the toaster as if they were his grandkids.
* DeadpanSnarker: The chef's hat can deal out some good snark when the appliances get on their nerves. Smokey isn't a slouch either, like dryly saying "Later that same day" when the player needs to cook something for 45 minutes.

* HauteCuisineIsWeird: Parodied with the waste basket who speaks like a prim and polite gentlemen... And views all the trash he eats as fine dining.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Nitro the microwave and Smokey the oven are the two most abrasive of the appliances, they even have a rivalry with one another, but they are ultimately friendly and helpful.

* KindheartedSimpleton: Blup the sink is a dim-witted but friendly sort.
* LargeHam: Blendelini the blender rarely speaks anything lower than a joyful shout and is quick to start singing.

* NoNameGiven: Despite being the character you interact with the most, the chef's hat is never given a name.
* OnlySaneMan: The chef's hat, they often get exasperated with how eccentric the rest of the kitchen is.
* SurferDude: Nitro the microwave wears big sunglasses and likes to put "dude" at the end of all of his sentences. When he sings his theme song it even has a surfing feel to it.
* TemporaryBulkChange: One of the animations Taste Test has when he eats something he likes is suddenly getting extremely fat and letting out a satisfied burp.
* TheTrickster: Toby the toaster has elements of this, he will sometimes startle everyone with a loud noise to mess with them. Also unlike Nitro and Blendelini who sound concerned when the player makes something disgusting for Taste Test, Toby gets mischievously excited.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Dendrum and Rooter, two potted plants who hang from the ceiling.

* DevelopersForesight: If you make something disgusting in the experiment mode, Taste Test ''will'' notice and his normally exuberant animation afterward will be different. These animations include smashing his food bowel angrily with a hammer, dramatically choking, and faking himself dying then burying himself alive.
