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.

YIAY: Finish the following sentence: "It would have been a great vacation if not for ______"

My favorite answers:

  • the fact that we can't fucking go anywhere without having to solve mysteries about costumed nutjobs! - Saifuu Suri
  • The demand that I come up with some reason this vacation wasn't great. - Florien
  • ...you. Stop asking about my fucking vacation, it was 3 god damn months ago! - Archsage
  • The army of seagulls who were hunting me down after I killed their queen. - J08

Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.

Here are my favorite answers:
