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.

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.

As in, like a prompt or an answer to a prompt? Because my answer is different depending.

This isn't my answer to the prompt, it's a genuine question.

yesterday, 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!
