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.

I'd like to conduct a bombing run on my neighbor's car. He looked at me funny yesterday.

I'd like to force the air to blow in a different direction.

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

I'd fly across North Korea, surely they're hiding something interesting in there.

I'd like to apologize for all this.

Switch branches to a part of the military that actually serves a coherent strategic purpose that wasn't split off solely because some guys in the 20s thought "300 tons of bombs on a city definitely would make someone surrender, and it's basically impossible to find a plane in the air. These are both reasonable assumptions somehow."

So, YIAY:

Welcome to the Air Force. What would you like to do, pilot?

Here’s the highlights:

  • "I'd like to force the air to blow in a different direction." - mighymewtron (Is there always going to be someone who will take my questions too literally???)

  • "I would like to go to the moon, sir. Where is the rocket fuel?" - Weirdguy149 (I shall reassign you to be our ambassador for NASA.)

  • "Could you show me the doctor's, please? I think I might have been carsick." - zycone (Seems like a miracle you got through training…)

  • "I would like to cause (redacted) again!" - GamerLuna2022 (What the hell did you even do?!?!?)

  • "Do a barrel roll (Z or R twice)!" - TheFarmboy (Ah, the classics…)

  • "War crimes- I mean upholding truth, justice, and liberty!" - J99908 (Sure…)

  • "Can I have access to any classified instruction manuals, please? I need them so I can leak them onto War Thunder forums brush up on my knowledge." - Pogakure (I’ll help you… Don’t tell Gaijin.)

  • "I would like to see how many of my fellow pilots can't walk. They call us the Chair Force for some reason and I want to learn it." - Matchingbone (Must be them drones…)

I will give them a very light slap in the face, enough to shock them but not enough to actually hurt.

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.

I tell them "don't be sad" and then they stop being sad, works like a charm!

I'd like to apologize for all this.
