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: Who could be a better President of the United States? Here are your best answers.

wingedcatgirl:

  • Literally anyone or anything, but I personally voted for the Weighted Companion Cube. It will never threaten to take away my healthcare and, in fact, cannot speak.

KungFuCutBug:

  • my pet cat Lamorak

Risdio51:

  • Miles Edgeworth.

madface7:

  • Me. But not President of the US. President of INDONESIA, BITCH!
  • tomathan bradleyton idk who that is but he seems like a nice guy

And finally . . .

TheWhistleTropes:

  • A Kennedy. Nothing bad happens to them!

Can I ask the next question? If so, How can you immediately bring back a TV show without being seen by the creators of that show?

I can't think of a good signature.

Fanfiction, but I write it out on physical paper and keep it to myself.

Start a bootleg theater company in Tijuana and put on your scripts as plays! Just make sure to ban photography at your performances.

Do the reboot in a universe where the original story was never created.

You transfer the characters, plot devices, and setting onto playing cards, and use solitaire to tell the story.

Create a new show that totally isn't just an exact replica of the other show on a different network.

Just wait for the creator to die before doing so! In fact, just kill the creator now and remake it without them ever knowing!

and the public won't dwell on my transmission cause it wasn't televised.

Aight, Yesterday I asked you... How can you immediately bring back a TV show without being seen by the creators of that show?

Here are what I think are the five best answers (in no particular order)

The Whistle Tropes:

  • Hide it in a sentient Gelatin!

wingedcatgirl:

Sonic: It is good day to be way past cool!

Robotnik: Pow! You are dead!

Sonic: I am dead!

audgetrouble:

  • Perform it disguised as a public theater.

Purple Eyed Guma:

  • Hire the actors to do a read-through in a private Zoom call.

William Rader Storm

  • You transfer the characters, plot devices, and setting onto playing cards, and use solitaire to tell the story.
