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.

I thought I sent it two days ago, Professor X, did I forget to add my paper as an attachment or did you not get my email?

when you really think about it, professor, what is "home"? is it the place that we are born? where we sleep? where we spend most of our time? where our heart is? i have no definite answer for where "home" is, so how can i do homework?

and the public won't dwell on my transmission cause it wasn't televised.

What is homework? What is life? Why do we exist, if we can't make any change when we are just a speck in the universe. You might be famous, but in 1000 years, nobody will remember you. Life has no meaning. You can't do anything that will get remembered, and homework is just a ploy to get us to learn things that we will never care about. When in my life will I need to know the area of a square? When will I need to know about what happens when grass is left off of a food chain? When will I need to know about Pharoahs in Egypt? WHY DO WE EXIST? WE WONT EVER DO ANYTHING NOTABLE, AND WE WILL ADD SHHHHHIT TO THR WORLD! LIFE HAS NO MEANING, HALLELUJAH, HOLY SHIT where's the Tylenol....

Why didn't I do my homework? Because homework is working, which is working out for gym classes, and that is physical exercise, which requires exercise equipment such as dumbbells, which aren't cheap, and take a good while to arrive, and that is why I haven't done it yet - Because the equipment has yet to arrive.

So Yesterday, I Asked You... Why didn't you turn in your homework?

Here are your best answers:

I had to acknowledge (censored) as president, and that made me physically ill. - Superjohn

I thought I sent it two days ago, Professor X, did I forget to add my paper as an attachment or did you not get my email? - Point Maid

when you really think about it, professor, what is "home"? is it the place that we are born? where we sleep? where we spend most of our time? where our heart is? i have no definite answer for where "home" is, so how can i do homework? - MadameButterflyKnife

The local dog show had a homework-eating contest, and I jsut could not resist this opportunity. - Purple Eyed Guma

And finally...

"We live in Finland. We don't have homework here." - William Radar Storm

Still waiting for someone to break him free...

Well, that’d be jus’ a waste. Why would ya want to deprive the world of such anomaly as yourself?
