Hi
Not sure about it being a meme but it's butt-ugly.

It's listed under adds as "[becoming] somewhat of a meme in Germany", so it technically counts even if it doesn't have an origin as a meme.

Question: what is this trope? The description starts by saying it's not about the phrase "all of them" per se, but about using that as a humoristic or darkly humoristic response to a question. Then it turns right around and says that it's actually strictly about the phrase "all of them" and nothing else. Predictably, the examples contain bits of both, but which of the two contradictory parts is correct?
Zzzzzzzzzz
Most likely it was originally made as a Stock Phrase, back when we still allowed those. Then the part about "used for dark humor" was added to make it an actual trope, rather than just "a line that gets used a lot", but the original definition was left. If it's just the stock phrase, it needs to die in a fire. If it's the trope, the stock phrase examples need to be deleted and that part of the definition removed.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.

And, yep, that's what happened. The archived YKTTW is simply for the stock phrase,
Bonus points if the phrase isn't literal.
It was launched in November or December of 2010, when Stock Phrase pages were allowed (or at least tolerated). Only the first paragraph was included. The second one was added sometime later, probably in an attempt to clarify it.

So may I start a Trope Repair Shop proposing it to be cut?
Zzzzzzzzzz
Cut? Maybe. Take it to TRS for repair, not necessarily cutting.
There is the trope of a character replying "all of them" facetiously or sarcastically to indicate "a number or amount that is infinite; or finite but too high or too large to accurately count". That would be a trope.
...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.
No, the other one.
Pull the image. Don't see how it illustrates. Wouldn't lose anything by making it a quotation instead.
Trope's about a stock hyperbole of the maximum type. Similar phrases would count. If it's not a hyperbole, it doesn't count.

Hi
Voting to pull for being an overall poor image.
Seconding pull. This image is bad and it should feel bad.
Rhymes with "Protracted."
Hello world!
Pull. It is very ugly.

Burn it.
It's gone.
Hi
Clock's way past due; locking up.
It looks suspiciously like an internet meme image.
Even if it isn't, the mere fact that this's a dialog-based trope means that I don't know if it can be demonstrated with an image without it being "may as well a quote".
