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.

Sorry I was gone for a day...

So, anyways. Yesterday (and by extension, the day after yesterday), I had asked you guys this question:

An evil tree blocked your path! What do you do?

Here’s some of my favourite answers:

  • Grab my trusty axe and chop that tree down! - Owen 23
  • Go to a drag show. If Monty Python is to believed, that's the best place to find a lumberjack. - Completely Normal Guy
  • Call Kirby and his friends to beat the everloving shit out of it. - ThatAsianInTheCorner
  • Pull a Vegeta and beam spam the heck out of that tree. - Myskywarm
  • Grab the person next to me and sacrifice 'em so I can pass - Matthew L Mayfield

And now presenting the best way to deal with an evil tree:

  • Fortunately, I always carry an evil chainsaw for just such an occasion. - apocalemur

The mod team, they have to deal with enough babies as-is on the Edit Banned thread.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

[up] Hey ~Archsage I'm going on a trip real fucking soon, thus I'm going to be gone for the rest of the day (I'm sorry for forgetting yesterday but my parents decided to go on a trip today with no fucking warning). If I don't remember to post the answers by the time I come bacl, let someone else do it instead (it's stated in the game rules).
