By Allie Brosh:

Update — apparently this is a meme derived from Allie Brosh's art, but not created by her. See the comment below.

    Well, the art is derived from an Allie Brosh comic
    http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/06/this-is-why-ill-never-be-adult.html

    but she certainly never composed that particular method. In fact she only drew the single person side with the yellow background; all the rest, including the text, is manipulation by meme lovers.

    This reminds me obliquely of a dispute in Hollywood some years ago, when screenwriters were complaining that they were not being paid their share of the profits from re-runs of old shows. They demonstrated outside the offices of one of the major TV channels, with this chant:

    What do we want?
    RESIDUALS!
    When do we want them?
    LATER!

    A 2-panel comic from Brosh's Hyperbole and a Half collection became the basis for a whole series of "X all the things!" captions. This is just a kind of a remix of the first panel.

    The original X is "Clean", which is why the figure holds a broom.
