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.

All the world's YouTube, and all the men and women merely perfectly good features that get removed with no explanation.

All the world's a party, and all the men and women merely the hedonistic rich folk that only care about themselves and cake.

All the world's a world, and all the men and women merely men and women. But I'm neither, and so I'm not subject to their rules. -🖤

All the world's a toaster, and all the men and women merely pieces of bread that, like, got stuck on the inside of it so they get all crumbly and black and your apartment smells like charcoal for two hours, and you forget to clean out the burnt crumbs and accidentally set off the smoke alarm which pisses off your neighbors and they bang on the walls, and you can't even make more toast to make up for the burnt toast that you... I've lost the metaphor.

All the world's a chess board for the gods, and all the men and women merely pawns and tools to be used like the mindless fools they are.

Sorry, lost track of it. But anyway....

A couple days ago, I asked you I spy with my little eye. Here are your best. Admittedly it was a tough choice, but these are the best:

  • Altris - Oh God it's a spider. Little Tommy, call the Department of Defense right now, the massive national defense budget is finally going to be useful. Everyone else, start packing, we're gonna be staying at a hotel indefinitely.

  • Palindromee - You. Start running.

  • Clancy Gardener - ...a little spy. We meet again, Agent 00!

  • Fernando Lemon - ...a babe with a sexy thigh.

  • mightymewtron -

The sun.

...OW! MY LITTLE EYE!
