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.

You found out that your uncle killed your dad; how would you avenge your dad?

By killing my uncle's dad, so that my uncle in turn kills my dad's uncle, and then i kill my uncle's dad's uncle, so then my uncle kills my dad's uncle's dad, and then i kill...

Due to unfortunate events, i will continue to exist until further notice. (also i'm fluid now)

Ah, how shall I do it? Oh, I know. I'll turn him into a flea, a harmless, little flea, and then I'll put that flea in a box, and then I'll put that box inside of another box, and then I'll mail that box to myself, and when it arrives...I'll smash it with a hammer! It's brilliant, brilliant, brilliant, I tell you! Genius, I say! Or i could poison him, but postage doesnt cost all that much.

I simply tell my uncle that, with my dad dead, he's my legal guardian now, even though I'm an adult and can care for myself. I'll give my uncle a week before he goes insane and my revenge is complete.

I mean if it's any of my uncles doing it then it's at least in character: they all hate each other and they all deserve whatever they get (this includes my dad). That said I would probably put whoever did the deed in a psychic nightmare zone for upwards of a week.

Depending on which side of the family, it's either going to be very easy or very hard to avenge my dad. One side has just one brother while the other has nine. I will rat them out to the police either way.

Go to the police.

It's not that I don't love my dad enough to want to get revenge, but I'm a law-abiding citizen. Maybe I'll do some amateur sleuthing if he's covered his tracks well enough, but that's the limit.

Tilt every painting in his house slightly.

Make sure to leave clear LEGO bricks littered around his house.

Replace his Oreo cream filling with toothpaste and replace his toothpaste with Oreo fillings.

Leave the water faucet always open slightly at night so he'll hear the water drips.

It was so the studio behind the show could obtain a tax write-down.

Now that's what I call good cop, bad cop.
