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.
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.

Walk in and ask politely.
"...This is too much information for a brain that just wants to visit Planet Tensuns..."And now... the moment you've been waiting for!
Yesterday, I Asked You: Sheldon J. Plankton orders you to steal the Krabby Patty Secret Formula. How will you go about it?
Our best answers were:
- But what if... I were to purchase fast food and disguise it as a Krabby Patty? Ho ho ho, delightfully devilish! -mightymewtron (Seymour Skinner would be proud.)
- Find a piece of paper and write the words, "Krabby Patty Secret Formula" at the top. List a number of rare ingredients, all of which I can offer to find "for a reasonable price". Add at least one item that is impossible to acquire to the list so that I can't get in trouble when the recipe doesn't work. -Completely Normal Guy (Conning Plankton? You're taking a pretty big risk here, bud.)
- Eat a Krabby Patty, spit it out, and then put in its DNA into a transmutation device, and VIOLA!! A Krabby Patty! -Gamer Luna 2022 (The secret formula is... saliva?!)
- Buy a burger from McDonalds and watch the Chum Bucket's reputation plummet even further. -Myskywarm (You can't out-evil Plankton- Mr. Krabs has done that.)
- Kidnap him, take a bunch of his money, then threaten to burn his cash if he doesn't start blabbering where the crabby patty formula is. -Superjohn (No need to kidnap him though; just steal all his money and watch him squirm.)

You Are Definitely Going To Kick: My AssHold on, I need to make sure I'm not picking a repeated prompt.
Your melody still remains in this room and it ringsIs there a lore reason why I can't think of a good prompt? Am I stupid?
JustForFun.How To Be An Anti Heroyesterday, i asked you: what's your worst idea for a YIAY prompt?
my favorites were:
- Superjohn: "How would you punish the fucker who stepped on my toe while I was sitting on a park bench?"
- Pogakure: "What's your least favorite ethnic group?"
- omega2900: "What part of the human body would taste the best?"
- CompletelyNormalGuy: "What are some of the best uses for moose spleens around the house?"
- TheWrongOne41: "What countries are the best for me to run from the law?"
- FernandoLemon: "What did you do to promote fascism today?"
- TheFarmboy: "Which troper deserves crucifixion?"
sorry i don't have any witty responses to these. i just took the ones that sent me into coughing fits
and, of course, with a new day comes a new question. take it away, folks! You Are Definitely Going To Kick: My Ass

Kidnap him, take a bunch of his money, then threaten to burn his cash if he doesn't start blabbering where the crabby patty formula is.
"Give our Captain back, you jerks!"
