All of Them

"Miles Dyson: Police?

Sarah Connor: How many?

John Connor: Uh, all of them, I think."

- Terminator 2

A Stock Phrase joke used to indicate that giving a number, even a vague estimate, would be pretty useless at this point--yeah, the entirety of Europe just stormed your base. Commonly overlaps with an Oh Crap moment, or comes just before or after one. Or a Heartwarming Moment--which should we save? All of Them.

Note that this trope is a joke, normally in response to a question that would usually be answered with a number. Don't put every single example of someone using the words 'all of them' on this page -- in general, if it's not funny or at least gallows humor, it isn't this trope. Usually, if the phrase is being used in a literal manner, it's not this trope, either, though sometimes the sheer implausibility of having literally every single cop in the world raiding your house or somesuch can be used as a joke itself. But seriously answering that you want every member of a population killed, for instance, doesn't qualify.

Note for Examples: This trope only applies if "All Of Them" is a response to a direct question about quantity.

Urban Legend
"Soldier: Allied ships in the Channel!
 * An Urban Legend states that on D-Day dawn a German soldier looked out at the English Channel and phoned his superiors:

Command: How many?

Soldier: All of them!"


 * This is based on a real-life occurrence. A local German commander with the rank of Major and the name of Werner Pluskat did sight the invasion force and was so dismayed that he relayed to his superiors that the allies had ten thousand ships coming right at him. At first they thought Pluskat had lost his mind because there was no way his claim could possibly be true, until he assured them that the exact number wasn't important but there was clearly a massive fleet out there. His exaggeration wasn't exceptionally far off either, as the Allies did have several thousand ships involved in Operation Overlord.
