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.

Hey all, Scott here! Yesterday, I Told You that people don't get that anymore. Combining the words "Scott", "All", "Hey", and "Here"... just doesn't connect with modern word hearers. So Yesterday, I Asked You to:

Change up the first four words I say to everybody to be understandable to more people!

Uh, here are the options you gave me to sift through:

Welcome, my little friend! Or should I say...friends?
