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.

All rise for the most grand, powerful, iconic movement from Takashi Niigaki’s epic multi-hour symphony Resident Evil Director’s Cut: “Mansion Basement”.

Any song by our Lord and Savior, Kanye West... just, uh, don't look up anything recent about him.

Yesterday, I asked you:

What's your favourite musical artist, and what's their best song in your opinion? Wrong answers only.

Here are your best answers!

  • Rebecca Black and Friday are our generation's Queen and Bohemian Rhapsody and I don't want to hear any rebuttals. - Weirdguy 149
  • Music is at its best when it answers those age-old questions that keep philosophers up at night. For example, it was only within the past decade that we learned the answer to, "What does the fox say?" - Completely Normal Guy
  • All rise for the most grand, powerful, iconic movement from Takashi Niigaki's epic multi-hour symphony Resident Evil Director's Cut: "Mansion Basement". - Purple Eyed Guma
  • The mysterious hacker 4chan and his new song called "doxxing" followed by a bunch of numbers and my personal information. It's cool how every copy is personalized so it has a different set of numbers and the owner's personal info instead of the same one. - Cardboard Bot

If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.

"It's a Small World." This has nothing to do with the ghost town. I just don't want to hear it.

Honestly, any, because it's a bad sign if music starts playing in a random location out of nowhere.

Tbh I never really hated his minigames in the original, but they did make them better in the remake.

"Thine sounds do provide offence to mine ears, I yet hold hope that no music may befoul my ears tonight on this day nor any other no matter whence it comes from, no matter where I should venture. Wherefore the music comes from the ghost town, it matters not, only that the music doth wound mine hearing and leave me wishing nothing short of having been born without ears."

-Albert Einstein

Make everyone gay. If people can't stop misquoting the Bible to excuse homophoic shit, then make the Bible and any other religious text explicitly gay AF so it's clear to the homophobes that the Bible ain't an excuse.

Make the Greek gods less rapey, that might have worked in ancient Greece, but in the modern day all you'll attract are Incels.
