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 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

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

Yesterday, 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.)

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.
