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.

Just accept my fate. Beats having to outrun ninjas of all things.

Refresh the page often and make sure they don’t post even one millisecond before me.

Point them to the nearest cosplay convention. They probably got lost, the poor things.

Lure them into a group so they lose their powers, then drop a big rock on them all.

Can we please add a system that if the host of the prompt is gone for more than 2 days, then someone else can reveal the results in their place? That's how it was done for dress-up themes in a Discord server I'm in.

A few days ago, I asked, You're being chased by ninjas. What do you do? Here are some of my favorite answers:

  • Just accept my fate. Beats having to outrun ninjas of all things. - Generic Guy 2000
  • Refresh the page often and make sure they don’t post even one millisecond before me. - Purple Eyed Guma
  • Lure them into a group so they lose their powers, then drop a big rock on them all. - winged​catgirl
  • Set myself on fire. Because they can't grab me if I'm on fire. - AoeAbility

What are some unusual demands a director wants to be included in their film?

I don’t think you understand how important the five-minute documentary on kangaroos is to this action film!

It’s not about the desti-something, it’s about the whatever.

Listen, we need to make sure that the actress' feet take up most of the frame throughout this entire scene. Yes, this is most definitely an artistic choice and is absolutely not in any way tied to the foot fetish I've been trying to hide from you all, I promise.

Whatever happens to the character must also happen to the actor. What am I directing? Shot for shot remakes of all the Saw films

Recut the movie so every word is in alphabetical order!

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.
