Line 16:
* [[Mad Magazine]]'s ''[[Return of the Jedi]]'' parody has an unseen crewman on a spacecraft pointing out that the battle around the Death Star has everything but the kitchen sink. The person he's speaking to points out that there is indeed a kitchen sink in the battle (which you can even see in the panel) but not to worry because "The sink's on ''our'' side!"
** Their ''[[Lost in Space]]'' parody also featured this, although there the sink simply crashed nearby.
* Negaduck and Magica Da Spell spend 'Crisis on Infinite Darkwings', the second ''[[Darkwing Duck (Comic Bookcomics)|Darkwing Duck]]'' comic arc, 'recruiting' various Darkwings; all they can find. In one big splash panel showing off their work, you can see ... Darkwing Sink.
* In a [[Carl Barks]] story, Uncle Scrooge and a [[Commie Land|Brutopian]] try to outbid each other at an auction. The competition escalates to the point where [http://disneycomics.free.fr/Ducks/Barks/show.php?num=3&loc=1957/W_US_17-02&s=hero the Brutopian has to bid all the kitchen sinks of his country].
* During the disturbance between dimensions in ''JLA: Another Nail'', a kitchen sink is seen floating.

* In the ''[[M*A*S*H (TV)|Mash]]'' episode "Sticky Wicket", Hawkeye is repeatedly disturbed while hiding in a tent. When two orderlies enter carrying something, he loses his temper:
{{quote| '''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?<br />
'''Orderly''': Kitchen sink, sir.<br />
'''Hawkeye''': Out! Out! }}
* In the "April Fools" episode of ''[[MamasMama's Family]]'', Thelma Harper plays a prank on her family by filling the front lawn with junk from the garage. 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?"
* ''[[The Red Green Show]]'': Red attempts to show us how to build a perpetual-motion machine.
{{quote| '''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]''}}
* [[Invoked Trope]] in a ''[[Dirty Jobs]]'' segment set in a scrapyard; since kitchen sinks are all stainless(and weigh several pounds), they're actually not all that rare in context.
* One time on [[Extreme Makeover: Home Edition]], as they were going about demolition Ty Pennington says "We're throwing out everything...." cue kitchen sink flying out the first floor window "...and the kitchen sink!"
* One time on [[Clean House]] Niecy goes "We're throwing out everything but the kitchen sink!" [[Gilligan Cut]] to Trish Suhr throwing a kitchen sink to which Niecy responds "Well shut my mouth!"
* One episode of the ''Monkees'' show 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.
Line 67:

Baloo replies at least it wasn't a bathtub. One then falls on top of the Sea Duck and Rebbecca yells at Baloo to stop talking.
** Another episode has pirate Don Carnage send his two main henchmen into the city, telling them to plunder everything even the kitchen sink. Later on, the heroes have a confrontation with a giant squid who accidentally ripped a sink out of the kitchen and dropped into the henchmens' submarine. Don Carnage is not amused when they bring it to him.
