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.

That was a triumph
I'm making a note here, huge success
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction...

Since I come from a country where all of the above songs have probably been played at someone's funeral, this is a difficult question.

They say she's in the Class A team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since eighteen
But lately, her face seems
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
— A Team, Ed Sheeran

Also doubles as a terrible wedding dance song Explaination .

"So could you

Tell me how you're sleeping easy

How you're only thinking of yourself

Show me how you justify

Telling all your lies like second nature

Listen, mark my words, one day (one day)

You will pay, you will pay

Karma's gonna come collect your debt"

The legend has returned.

The Vengabus/We Like to Party comes to mind as possibly the most inappropriate music choice.

[down][down] Damn, my eyes must have skipped over that. All right, new response...


Unless you're actually Bela Lugosi, "Bela Lugosi's Dead" is just a pretentious choice.

The annual "Running of the Moose." It's kind of like the running of the bulls but with moose. It has no set day or location. On some random winter day in some random city, I unleash a bunch of moose and force the locals to run from them.

Simple, I combine the three main winter holidays. I'll call it Chrisanukktine's Day. You celebrate it by putting several Menorahs on a red tree. Then you exchange love letters and chocolate coins with each other while dressed as Santa Claus.

Gälve Goat Day, centred around the wooden goat sculpture currently erected in Gälve, Sweden. Everyone will be in one of two factions: one wants to burn the goat, the other wants to ensure the goat survives the month.

When is Gälve Goat Day? It's either the 31st of December or the day the goat burns.

Two days ago I asked you You just created a brand new non-denominational winter holiday, what's it all about?

My favorite answers:

The economy is in shambles.

"Non-Denominational Day: You will be ritually sacrificed to the goldbugs if you dare to trade in a thing that comes in easily differentiable denominations.

Barter only." -Florien

I don't think this is what mom meant when she said I should participate in more extracurricular activities.

"Polar Bear Club Day. Swim naked in the ice cold Arctic water and freeze your nips off. Be one with the bear!" -MatthewLMayfield

Historical goals.

"Antichristmas. Be nice, get coal. The Second Industrial Revolution will happen!" -PurpleEyedGuma

Chaos incarnate.

"The annual "Running of the Moose." It's kind of like the running of the bulls but with moose. It has no set day or location. On some random winter day in some random city, I unleash a bunch of moose and force the locals to run from them." -CompletelyNormalGuy

But can you dance with the goat?

"Gälve Goat Day, centred around the wooden goat sculpture currently erected in Gälve, Sweden. Everyone will be in one of two factions: one wants to burn the goat, the other wants to ensure the goat survives the month.

When is Gälve Goat Day? It's either the 31st of December or the day the goat burns." -PresidentBrit
