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.

The creator left to go live on a farm faraway and wasn’t shot out back by the producers.

Because if we let it get to 13 episodes it'll be unlucky.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

This is YIAY, you’re on the wrong thread mate

Heard of a kid in Africa who was too poor to afford a Nintendo Switch and play Mario on it, so they made themselves a “console” out of cardboard cutouts, paper scraps and self-made electronics. When the picture of the console went viral on social media, the CEO of Nintendo personally went over to sue them for 10,000$.

Some parts of this may be true? I’m not 100% sure tbh /gen

If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.

A long time ago, there lived a good demon. He eventually married a human woman, and his wife would give birth to a child. Years pass and the demon family lived a happy life where humans and demons can co-exist in peace.

A bit of an odd question seeing as it's spring, but I guess I could tell you. I basically just got the hearth from my dad. I have no idea how that thing works. ...Oh, you meant heartwarming. Sorry, pal, all we've got is the funny.
