So, we got a bit off topic over in the TV Tropes Meta Thread (shocker) and started imagining what a video about TV Tropes in the style of those slander videos (you know the ones) would be like. Anyways, FernandoLemon suggested we make a Yack Fest thread for it so here we are.

from here on out, it's all bee puns and 16th century humor without historical contextJust picking a post from the first page at random and posting it being significantly easier and more time efficient than looking for any of said funny posts.
Hence why I prefer to comb through posts until I find one I think I can use.
