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.

Yeah... vacation. It's definitely a vacation. That's why I'm leaving. I'm definitely not fleeing the country after killing a mime. Say, remind me again which countries don't have extradition agreements with the United States.

I'll spend it by doing important researches on the internet.

And by important research I mean binging animes for 200 hours straight and reading TV Tropes articles and calling it research.

Yeah. It would have been one thing if I'd tried to sell to an undercover cop, but that guy was in uniform, sitting in a marked police cruiser.

A few days ago, you ere asked: You're under arrest for drug dealing. Feeling stupid?

Your best answers were:

  • "But I'm a pharmacist! I sell drugs for a living!" (The Farmboy) (Yeah, uh... medical drugs don't have cartels running them and shit, buddy.)
  • "Yeah. It would have been one thing if I'd tried to sell to an undercover cop, but that guy was in uniform, sitting in a marked police cruiser." (Completely Normal Guy) (Nature abhors a moron.)
  • "Sir you don't understand, the situation is more pathetic than just drugs. I am addicted to baking soda." (The Wrong One 41) (I recommend rehab.)
