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.

Do not mess with creatures which you do not understand.

Fred Zamboni (inventor of the Zamboni, in case it wasn't obvious) didn't even like hockey. Or figure skating. Or speed skating.

If I told you, I wouldn't necessarily have to kill you, but there's a decent chance it would happen anyway on account of the involvement of spiders.

So I asked you:

What’s the coolest thing you’ve learned?

And some responses of note:

  • "Polar bears are fucking badasses. (Get it? Cool?)"-FernandoLemon

  • "Fred Zamboni (inventor of the Zamboni, in case it wasn't obvious) didn't even like hockey. Or figure skating. Or speed skating."-CompletelyNormalGuy

  • "If I told you, I wouldn't necessarily have to kill you, but there's a decent chance it would happen anyway on account of the involvement of spiders."-Florien

Anyone else?

Heart Disease.

I mean after all, with a setup like that, you'd never expect it.

One time, when I was practicing my perfectly safe hobby of juggling live grenades in a pit of poisonous snakes, a skydiving moose's parachute failed to deploy and it landed on my head and I died. I got better though, so it's all fine.

Two days ago, I asked you: What's the most hilariously improbable death you can think of? Here are my favorite answers:

  • Heart Disease.
    I mean after all, with a setup like that, you'd never expect it. - Florien
  • If you were to be in Happy Tree Friends only to die of old age. - The Farmboy
  • One time, when I was practicing my perfectly safe hobby of juggling live grenades in a pit of poisonous snakes, a skydiving moose's parachute failed to deploy and it landed on my head and I died. I got better though, so it's all fine. - Completely Normal Guy (That last sentence may be the most improbable of it all.)
  • Struck by 1337 lightning bolts in a row. - FernandoLemon (Neat. Leet, even.)

Looking for the toilet and going through the wrong door.

If it disagrees with experiment, it's wrong.
