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.

Yesterday, I pointed a gun to your head and asked if you had any last words. You responded:

Leave it out for a while and it's an instrument of gastrointestinal destruction.

No, but you can make a carrot into a flute.

One thing I have learned in pledging my life to this quest is that I have been betrayed again and again. And again. And again.

I think you of all people should know that while mayonnaise may not be an instrument, trombones are edible.

It depends on your point of view. If your point of view is of someone who doesn't know how fuzzy sets work, absolutely! Otherwise, no.

Yesterday, I asked you: Is mayonnaise an instrument?

  • "Don't be silly, ketchup is!" (Superjohn) ("Ketchup is not an instrument, either.")

  • "Leave it out for a while and it's an instrument of gastrointestinal destruction." (Completely Normal Guy) (Why are you saying that as if it's completely normal...?")

  • "I think you of all people should know that while mayonnaise may not be an instrument, trombones are edible." (Weirdguy149) (Oh? A Russian Reversal?)

  • "No. You use it to clean your instruments, ya bint." (omega2900) (Who's the bint, again?)

  • ""Do instruments of torture count?" was the superior line." (jandn2014) (Lies.)


Of course, we can't ever end this round without the real answer:

No, Patrick. Mayonnaise is not an instrument.
