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.

Give them a pat on the back and an ice cream cone with about 50 Xanax tablets hidden inside.

Statistically, I'm nowhere near them and I don't actually care anyway even if they are, so probably the same thing I do every day. (Plan to take over the world)

So, YIAY I asked you, “Someone is sad. What do you do?” My favorite responses were:

  • Lobotomize them! That's a surefire cure, right? (Why not? ClancyGardener)
  • Rob every IKEA of Blahaj in a 200 mile radius. (They must be cuddly. omega2900)
  • "Hey, you wanna watch Futurama? I heard this Jurassic Bark episode is really funny. Should live your spirits up." (I see what you did there… Myskywarm)
  • Take them to the moose dance. No one can be sad when surrounded by 17 tap-dancing moose. Well, I suppose you could be sad if the moose tap dance on your toes, but there's no way that's going to happen again. (Who doesn’t like dancing moose? No one, that’s who. CompletelyNormalGuy

Think you should be asking who took the jar in the cookie.

Probably the broccolis, as part of their revenge plans against the cookies, because everyone seems to prefer the latter.

It's either probably you, or the jar's not been filled in decades. I've not had the appetite for cookies in decades.
