YIAY

Go To

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.

Example of a YIAY video.

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.

Yesterday, I asked you, "The answer is blowing in the wind, but what was the question?" Here are some of my favorite answers:

  • Who killed Captain Alex? - J99908 (Would the movie be any sillier if he was killed by a random tornado at the end)
  • What is the best Bob Dylan song? - Owen 23 (I have a soft spot for proper anti-humor)
  • Why do I keep getting hit in the face by sheets of paper? - Random Fan Of Stuff (See previous comment)

They spend all their time primping when they should be doing their work. (Get it? Because you said "prettiest" instead of "pettiest". :P)

Trimming the hedges, one trope at a time.

Let it die. We don't want another Joker around here. There's been enough comedy...and it would be more awesome if we get serious.
