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.

Sorry, had a thing to do.

Yesterday, I asked you:

You were just arrested! What crime did you commit?

  • Apparently, when a cop pulls you over because they suspect you are pushing drugs, the correct thing to say is not "I'll give you a 10% discount if you let me go". -FermandoLemon

  • All I've done is buy a lot of candy and just sharing it with the kids at the school, but people treat me like a monster for it -MattewLMayfield

  • Being too awesome. And several war crimes.-Kirbman

And the most HEINOUS crime of all...

  • Saying that maybe, just maybe, that a popular work has some fundamental flaws-CardboardBot

It’s probably just in pain because of all the woodpeckers pecking at it. That would drive anyone mad. You see, there’s never a need for violence. That’s why I need to find every woodpecker in the land and    kill them   .

Try to convince Poison Ivy to talk to the tree to move out of my way... assuming she doesn't kill me with her toxic kiss before I could do so since it seems she got a hate boner for humanity except Harley Quinn and Catwoman.

An evil tree would be Grass/Dark type, so the best play would be to hit it with a Bug-type attack for 4x damage.

I'd like to apologize for all this.
