Inspired by Jacksfilms’s Yesterday I Asked You series, or YIAY for short. I’m going to ask a Jacksfilms-style question, and other posters must give humorous answers. Tomorrow, I will repeat the question and give my favorite answers. I will then let another poster ask a new question, and the cycle repeats (at least) every day.
If the original poster isn’t available to give their favorite answers, another poster is free to step in and give theirs (barring their own).
I have a question for you. Describe TV Tropes in just 4 words.

As long as this thread exists, I am fine with other methods of the funny getting their necks snapped.
It's been 3000 years…I guess this is what all of those people were talking about when they said you can't be funny now.
Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.History shall not look kindly upon this.
This is not because it's a particularly bad thing or good thing that it's shutting down of course, it's because 700 years from now, they'll discover Objective Ethics, and it'll turn out that attempting to or actually being funny over the internet is morally equivalent to a mid-sized genocide. This whole era is going to be condemned as one of the darkest times in history, on account of all the attempting to be funny on the internet, and the mere existence of vehicles for attempting humor over the internet shall be enough for history to look unkindly at this.
I guess this means we have to stop being funny.
Pack it up people, comedy is over.
Prepare to diode.Down with authoritarian means of enforcing comedy! Humor shall belong to the people!
back lolYesterday I Asked You: Be Funny Now! will be shutting down soon. Should we try to bring it back, or do we let it die?
And you have all chosen death.

- As long as this thread exists, I am fine with other methods of the funny getting their necks snapped. (Weirdguy 149) — HELL YEAH!!! TV TROPES SUPREMACY BABYYYYY!!!
- I guess this is what all of those people were talking about when they said you can't be funny now. (Completely Normal Guy) — This is clearly all part of the liberal agenda to cancel coemdy, everything's offensive all of a sudden! Snowflakes!!!!!!!
- Down with authoritarian means of enforcing comedy! Humor shall belong to the people! (Jandn 2014) — This is perfect, now nobody can tell me my memes are cringe.
Welp, that was fun while it lasted. Rip bozo.

I'd like to apologize for all this.Fill in the blank, "When I was your age..."
It's Over Anakin, I have the high ground!“I was your age. The end!”
Basically girl Beetlejuice and a big candle, but the skins are better than they sound."I whined like a bitch and got shit for it."
It's been 3000 years…When I was your age, items from the McDonald's dollar menu cost a dollar.
I'd like to apologize for all this.I had to walk uphill 20 miles to go to school! Both ways! Sure, it din't make sense, but back then, things din't need to make sense! That was before they passed the 24th amendment. I voted against it, of course. Course, back then, you voted by writing down your choice on a piece of paper, then puttin' it in your mailbox. One time, I wanted to vote for Mayor Williamson, but my pen ran out of ink, so I accidentally voted for Mayor Williams instead! Course, back then, chickens were allowed to vote. They say that's how FDR got a foothold, by promising to reduce taxes for chickens. Now where was I? Ah yes, the 24th amendment. It was suggested by my cousin, Patrick Jefferson, and the thing you need to remember about him was, he was Vice President for 5 minutes back in '43. His face even got put on the highly unpopular 60 cent coin! Course, back then, coins were made of wood, since they didn't have metal 'cos of the war. They suggested mining for metal in the South Pole, but back then, most people thought the Earth was flat, and there was no South Pole. Course, that was before they discovered Earth was a dodecahedron back in '72, the same year my son married one of those city fellas. That reminds me of when my neighbour wanted to borrow some flour, back when people used to grind their own flour...
"Ah, no, I'm fine" - Father Paul StoneWhen I was your age, people waited til the end to post the best YIAY answer because they knew no-one could top it and wouldn't bother trying. You young'uns gone an' scruffed it all up...
Welp, add that to the list of Terrible Ideas That I Knew Were Terrible Ideas But Did Anyway..."... I sat on a banana. And of course, that changed my life."

When I was your age, we all wrote to a mysterious force known as "Abby." Abby knew all and told all before Google took over the planet. No one knew what Abby looked like or how they had so much life experience, but they trusted Abby with their secrets and problems.
"...how old are you again?"
back lolI was angry and throwing tantrums left and right to make people fear me.
Everything that lives is designed to end..."... I was on the run from at least twenty different governments."
Please visit the "AITA" forum game"I spent my time on TV tropes, look, I wasn't an interesting person then, nor now".
"I guess I just don't want you to feel like you're nothing. I don't want anybody to feel like that."Standards of living were markedly lower and things were generally worse than they are today! Today is better than most previous times in even fairly recent history. You are lucky to not have lived when I did.
I was my age plus 2 then divided by 3. In 16 years I'll be your age now times 4. How old am I?
