| 11 | ->'''Costello:''' You know... you know, they have hit me with everything but the kitchen sink.\ |
| 12 | '''Abbott:''' Oh, well... we can fix that. ''[pulls the sink out of the wall, breaks it over Costello's head]'' |

| 14 | |
| 15 | Every time someone [[YouJustHadToSayIt refers to the expression]] "everything but the kitchen sink" in any way, shape or fashion, an [[LiteralMetaphor actual, literal kitchen sink]] will [[AndHereHeComesNow inevitably appear]]. Sometimes, the saying is not even mentioned; showing a kitchen sink in a context where the saying ''could'' be used works as a VisualPun by itself. This trope is almost always PlayedForLaughs, especially in cartoons. |
| 16 | |
| 17 | The original expression is an idiom of unknown origin but originating in the early 20th century, meaning "everything that wasn't bolted down". Kitchen sinks are not only bolted down, but connected to the plumbing. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Nothing to do with a FantasyKitchenSink or a SciFiKitchenSink, unless you somehow manage to incorporate them into the mythology as well. Also unrelated to the underground comix publisher Kitchen Sink Press (who probably rather wants to allude to "filth" than to this trope). |

| 26 | * An old UsefulNotes/McDonalds commercial featuring Ronald [=McDonald=] and the [=McDonaldland=] gang featured them going on vacation; when they got home, Birdie exclaimed that they had "seen everything but the kitchen sink". Ronald said he'd "fix that", and pulled a lever that caused the kitchen in his house--what they were in--to "sink" about ten five feet into the ground. "Now we've seen the kitchen sink," chuckled Grimace. (The whole commercial had been a HurricaneOfPuns.) |
| 27 | * A Vonage commercial showed a couple discussing how their current phone company's fees are robbing them blind, while [[BlatantBurglar black-clad and domino-masked thieves]] steal everything they own, kitchen sink included. |

| 32 | * ''Demon'' #25, one of the many, many origins of ComicBook/{{Etrigan}}. Advertised as including an unneeded Lobo poster. The Demon and Lobo were beating the tar out of each other with every single weapon imaginable, including said sink. |

So Scrooge adds ''six'' kitchen sinks to his bid, and wins the auction. |
| 36 | ** One ''Scrooge [=McDuck=]'' story has him run into a convoy of prospectors, which he fails to sell anything to. As he comments that they seem to have everything but the kitchen sink, one of them points towards his mule... sure enough, he's got one. |

| 45 | ** Their ''Series/LostInSpace'' parody also featured this, although there the sink simply crashed nearby. |
| 46 | * The newspaper ComicbookAdaptation of ''WesternAnimation/{{Rugrats}}'' had Stu complaining about packing too much when they went on vacation. Didi says he's exaggerating. Cue Stu holding a kitchen sink in the last panel. |

Applejack is in the middle of making the analogue when [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Pinkie Pie]] throws the sink onto the pile for extra precaution. |
| 51 | * In ''Fanfic/AsNApproachesInfinity'', when Karin finds out about Homura's shield storage, she suggests Homura add a sink to it so she can invoke this trope when people bring it up. |
| 52 | * When Calvin becomes {{Franchise/Bat|man}}boy in ''Fanfic/CalvinAndHobbesTheSeries'', his CrazyPrepared nature is described as thus: |

| 56 | * ''Fanfic/ThisBites'': |
| 57 | ** While a literal kitchen sink isn't present, the trope is referenced when, at Whiskey Peak, Cross talks Nami into joining him in "Looting everything that isn't nailed down, and a lot that is!" |
| 58 | ** It happens again during the Enies Lobby arc, as Jewelrey Bonney and her crew (along with the Heart Pirates) invade Marine Base G-76; Bonney calls Sengoku to inform him that her crewmates are "taking whatever isn't nailed down, and they're bringing in crowbars for whatever actually ''is''". |

After several characters have a shared dream, the four teens involved had to raid the Fenton's weapon's locker before they'd calm down. |
| 60 | -->'''Maddie Fenton:''' I think they have everything up there but the kitchen sink!\ |
| 61 | '''Jack Fenton:''' No, they have that, too. So go up there and show them you're okay, right, V-Man? We need that sink back. |
| 62 | * In ''Fanfic/SeaOfSouls'', the Straw Hats take everything that they can get their hands on when they raid Las Noches for supplies, which Zoro [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] when he notices a bag containing a certain object |
| 63 | --> '''Zoro''': Tch. Was it really necessary to even take the kitchen sink? |
| 64 | --> '''Sanji''': Where else are we supposed to wash up? |

| 72 | * ''WesternAnimation/TopCatAndTheBeverlyHillsCats'': Humorously subverted, then played straight in the same scene. When Top Cat and his gang are having a wild party, their neighbors respond by throwing a bunch of junk at them to get them to be quiet. Fancy then remarks that the neighbors have thrown everything but the kitchen sink; the next object dropped is a grand piano. T.C. yells, "What's the matter with you up there?! He said, 'kitchen sink'!", with predictable results. |
| 73 | * ''WesternAnimation/YellowSubmarine'': Old Fred opens up a cupboard door and lots of unlikely objects fall out, including a kitchen sink. |

| 83 | * ''Film/TheSpirit'' has one extended fight scene that involves various objects culminating with a kitchen sink smashed over someone's head. |
| 84 | * ''Franchise/StarWars'': The opening battle in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' was so complex one of the people on the team said they had put everything in it but the kitchen sink. They then proceeded to rectify that. Watch closely, specifically the shot where we fly by a CIS ship as it breaks apart and a piece of debris smashes into a nearby Republic ship. That's the kitchen sink. |

| 86 | |
| 87 | [[folder:Literature]] |
| 88 | * In ''[[Literature/AuntDimity Aunt Dimity Slays the Dragon]]'', Bill lifts the day pack Lori prepared for the family outing to the opening day of King Wilfrid's Faire and gives a low whistle: |

| 93 | * ''Literature/TheDresdenFiles'': [[DiscussedTrope Discussed]] by Harry Dresden’s [[FirstPersonSmartass internal narration]] during the hilltop battle in ''Literature/TurnCoat'': |
| 94 | -->''The naagloshi snarled more words in unknown tongues, and began flinging power with both arms. [[PlayingWithFire Balls of fire]] like the one I’d seen at Chateau Raith were followed by [[ShockAndAwe crackling spheres of blue sparks]] and [[HollywoodAcid wobbling green spheres]] of what looked like Jell-O and smelled like sulfuric acid. It was an impressive display of evocation. Had a kitchen sink gone flying towards Listens-to-Wind, conjured from who knows where, it wouldn’t have startled me.'' |
| 95 | * Occurs in ''[[ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} Garfield's Pet Force]]''. When Binky the magician declares "found it!" after a comment about the kitchen sink, it is the sink that he found, not the object he is looking for. |

| 97 | * Specifically averted in the ''Literature/PrinceRoger'' series: one of the two things that Poertena's [[FunetikAksent "pig pocking pag"]] is known to not contain is a kitchen sink. (The other is a tabletop tester for plasma rifles.) |
| 98 | * ''Barely'' averted in ''[[Literature/SixteenThirtyTwo 1636: The Saxon Uprising]]'', when Mike Stearns is denouncing [[spoiler:Axel Oxenstierna]]'s actions: |
| 99 | --> The list went on for quite some time. The kitchen sink wasn’t there, but only because Mike hadn’t been able to figure out a plausible way to accuse [[spoiler:Oxenstierna]] of stealing it. |
| 100 | --> He did accuse the chancellor of imperiling the nation’s sanitation measures and increasing the danger of epidemics, though. |

| 103 | [[folder:Live-Action TV]] |
| 104 | !!!'''In General:''' |
| 105 | * {{Game Show}}s: Honestly, there were several shows where kitchen sinks ''were indeed'' prizes: |
| 106 | ** Several Goodson-Todman shows of the mid-1970s--including ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'' and ''Series/{{Concentration}}''--offered a kitchen sink from the H.R. Schriner Co. A legitimate prize worth about $450, this had a teakwood base with cabinet space below the sink basin, and counter space was included. (Schriner also had a burner base that was sometimes a prize.) |
| 107 | ** Several other packagers offered similar "kitchen sinks" as legit prizes--either stand-alone or part of a "home remodeling" prize package. (Such as ''Series/WheelOfFortune'', where [=AristoKraft=]'s kitchen cabinetry and remodeling package was sometimes a prize in the 1980s and early 1990s.) |
| 108 | ** ''Series/HighRollers'': One of the dice games--It Takes Two--literally had "the kitchen sink" as one of the prizes. Unlike G-T's shows, this was a gag prize (worth about $250). |

| 110 | !!!'''Series:''' |

Shocked at the sight, Vinton says, "Mama, you've got everything out here but the kitchen sink!" Just then, Iola wheels out said sink, asking Thelma, "Where do you want it?" |
| 117 | * In the ''Series/{{MASH}}'' episode "Sticky Wicket", Hawkeye is repeatedly disturbed while hiding in a tent. When two orderlies enter carrying a crate, he loses his temper: |
| 118 | -->'''Hawkeye:''' What's going on here? Just because I want some privacy there's everything in here but the kitchen sink! What's in there?\ |
| 119 | '''Orderly:''' Kitchen sink, sir.\ |
| 120 | '''Hawkeye:''' [[GetOut Out! Out!]] |
| 121 | * One episode of ''Series/TheMonkees'' had them under fire from a pack of rustic, gun-wielding maniacs. They do indeed throw the kitchen sink at the Monkees... or rather, they wheel over a sink with a lit stick of dynamite on it. One Monkee responds by turning on the faucet of the sink (which still works, somehow) to drown the dynamite. |
| 122 | * Used as a visual gag in the ''Series/MythBusters'' series 5 episode "Kitchen Nightmares". |
| 123 | -->'''Robert Lee:''' With the errr, Hyneman seal of approval, it's time for the boys to pack up everything.\ |
| 124 | '''Adam:''' And. ''[holds up a kitchen sink]'' |
| 125 | * In the 1974 Saturday morning Husdon Brothers vehicle ''Razzle-Dazzle'', OncePerEpisode they would have "The Razzle-Dazzle Wrap-Up of Everything, Including the Kitchen Sink." |
| 126 | * ''Series/TheRedGreenShow'': Red attempts to show us how to build a perpetual-motion machine. |
| 127 | -->'''Red:''' So all you need is stuff you probably have lyin' around: A gas lawnmower, a downspout, a car alternator, 45-gallon drum, ceiling fan, chunk of garden hose, and some corn stalks. Now you're probably saying, "Geeze, Red, you're using everything but the kitchen sink!" Well, you're wrong! ''[reaches behind drum, pulls out kitchen sink]'' |

| 136 | |
| 137 | [[folder:Pro Wrestling]] |

| 150 | [[folder:Tabletop Games]] |
| 151 | * ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'': The ''Daishi X'' variant was originally a hypothetical configuration of the ''Daishi'' omnimech that showed up in the Total Warfare rulebook that mounts one of virtually every single different type of weapon system that was in the game at the time so that it could serve as an example for how to use each weapon. When it was finally given a canon record sheet in Record Sheets: 3050 Upgrade Unabridged, it quickly earned the FanNickname "The Kitchen Sink" due to its eclectic array of weaponry. For the record, it carries one Large Pulse Laser, one Heavy Medium laser, two Extended Range Micro Lasers, one Ultra-10 autocannon, one LB 5-X autocannon, one Advanced Tactical Missile 6-pod, one Streak Short Range Missile 2-pod, one Short Range Missile 4-pod, and one Long Range Missile 15-pod. |

| 161 | * The Beaches and Cream Soda Shop in [[Ride/DisneyThemeParks Disney World's]] Beach Club Resort offers the famous [[http://media-cdn.tripadvisor.com/media/photo-s/03/3a/4b/c1/beaches-cream.jpg "Kitchen Sink"]] ice cream dish, which features every ice cream and topping that the shop sells served in a kitchen sink-shaped bowl. Other ice cream restaurants around Disney World offer similar dishes, though they come in [[http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Mickey-Kitchen-Sink-Sundae.jpg smaller, plastic Mickey-shaped sink bowls]] that guests can take home. |

| 170 | * ''VideoGame/PlantsVsZombiesHeroes'' has the "Kitchen Sink Zombie" teammate, who holds a kitchen sink. More importantly, he possesses ''several'' abilities, even those from other zombie classes, thus living up to the phrase he's named after.
