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.

What is the meaning of life?
is there like a waiting list for this, or can anyone just ask anytime? sorry in advance if there is a waiting list.
Welcome, my little friend! Or should I say...friends?No waiting list. This is free-for-all.
Being able to erase all jokes from the face of history and replace them with serious words or words that strike fear into the hearts of people. Long story short, I don't live to be their Butt-Monkey, I live to make them mine.
Matikane Tannhäuser, now departing for the front line! Ei, ei, mun!According to Monty Python, it's being a morbidly obese man at a fancy restaurant who projectile-vomits while eating and then explodes after having a wafer-thin mint.

You ever wake up and had water at 3 a.m.? Cause if you don't, you're missing out big, big time.

Protection and power are overrated. I think you are very wise to choose happiness and love. Current avatar: ConnieIt doesn't really matter if you're on this site.
Your melody still remains in this room and it ringsYesterday, I Asked You: What is the meaning of life? Here are your best responses:
- "To find out how to make your waifus and/or husbandos real." - TheFarmboy (YOU'RE SO REAL FOR THIS-)
- "Being able to erase all jokes from the face of history and replace them with serious words or words that strike fear into the hearts of people. Long story short, I don't live to be their Butt-Monkey, I live to make them mine." - YourEternalTroper (this answer goes so hard, for no good reason, i love it)
- "Cheese." - J99908 (simple, short, straight to the point. lovely!)
- "According to Monty Python, it's being a morbidly obese man at a fancy restaurant who projectile-vomits while eating and then explodes after having a wafer-thin mint." - FernandoLemon (wasn't this a Yoshi's Island commercial too?)
- "I've heard that the Hokey Pokey is what it's all about." - CompletelyNormalGuy (maybe i should turn myself around)
- "Life (n.): Something exhibiting the properties of being alive such as Reproduction and Metabolic Processes. "Cows are a type of Life"" - Florien (...you're not wrong, and you did answer the question...)
- "You ever wake up and had water at 3 a.m.? Cause if you don't, you're missing out big, big time." - Myskywarm (not exactly at 3 am, but i have had water extremely late into the night after waking up, so i can confirm, you are missing out.)
- "It doesn't really matter if you're on this site." - JankyKong (i guess TV Tropes is the meaning of death.)

Welcome, my little friend! Or should I say...friends?yesterday i asked you: what should i do to impress the person i like?
my favorite responses were...
- Trigger a moose stampede in their general area and then rescue them from it. It's a plan that has never failed in the history of humanity.
- Being liked by a lot of people is impressive. Therefore, starting a cult is the obvious awnser.
- Get a big stamp and crush it against their body for months, for years, not letting the pressure up. Eventually, they'll get a dent in the shape of the stamp, and you will have impressed something upon them.

You Are Definitely Going To Kick: My Ass

Yesterday, I asked you what you would do with a TARDIS, to which you responded...
- I'm gonna beat up my dumbass 13-year-old self. - TomT (I was 13 during the pandemic, so I'd personally hold out on beating her up at that age because she was already going through enough.)
- I'm going to my ninth birthday party so that I can see for myself who put that snail in the cake. - CompletelyNormalGuy
- I'm going to go back in time and prevent my favorite show's cringiest moments. - Superjohn (But what if you get rid of the show's appeal in the process, hm? What then?)
- Go back in time to invest in GameStop stock - TheFarmboy
- Go forward in time, learn the ending of every manga I like that I'm reading currently, then go back in time to fix the endings I don't like. - skan123
- I’m gonna go back and convince the people who made Doctor Who to not make it - HeeHee47 (I do hope you realize that your method of time travel hinges entirely on Doctor Who's existence. Hope you enjoy being stuck in 1960s Britain, I guess!)
Don't you ever fix your lips to say that, bruh. I'm sitting right here and I got my daughter in the backseat
