| Is the Answer to This Question "Yes"? |
comment |
A rhetorical question used in place of "yes" when "yes" is the obvious answer to a given question. The standard form is "Is the sky blue?" with common variants including "Is the Pope Catholic?" or "Does a bear shit in the woods?". Bonus points if someone then points out a relevant exception to the obvious statement. A deviant form is to mix two such questions while pretending the answer is still "yes", like "Are bears Catholic?" or "Does the Pope shit in the woods?" Closely related to Ask a Stupid Question.... The inversion is also common, with a question like "Are pigs capable of flying?" (The answer to such questions is no. Both of these versions may be followed by a surprising exception or counterexample, but they don't have to be.) |

In the episode "Husbands and Knives", in which Bart is so impressed that Springfield's new comic book store owner (voiced by Jack Black) actually cared about his opinion that he asked if the guy was serious; he answers, "Does Galactus eat planets?" |

Watson, who met the pope earlier in the story, replies, "Not the last time I saw him." In the Shakespearian Script Fic short story "The Trials of Tara" by Paul Cornell, one Taran uses "Is the Archimandrite's hat not silly?" As viewers of "The Androids of Tara" will know, yes, it is. |

This◊ strip had Arlene ask Garfield if he thinks she's getting fat, to which Garfield responds "Do you think I'm getting stupid?" Lampshaded afterwards, when Arlene tells Garfield, "You answer me first", with Garfield telling her, "I did". In this strip, Garfield has a "Christmas nightmare" where Santa's "naughty list" visits him. He asks if he's on it, and it says, "Does an elf eat candy canes for breakfast?" Jon gets these responses from Bertha and Garfield. This strip. Garfield's response when Jon asks if they should get a new refrigerator is "Do you think air will catch on as a breathing medium?". |

In the first Spider-Man–Superman Intercontinuity Crossover, when Superman leaves the fight against Doctor Octopus to stop a tsunami, he asks Spider-Man if he can handle things there. Spidey, snarky as ever, replies "Do Warner Brothers make films?" (which in a huge in-joke, had been a sister company of DC Comics for four years) |

Leo in Shortpacked! had a thing of mixing sincere reasonableness with occasional reminders that "Oh, yeah, the guy's also a Protestant Fundamentalist, it's easy to forget when he's not actually talking about that." On one occasion the reminder was that his version of this was "Is the Pope the Antichrist?" |

On QI it was noted that while the head of the Catholic church has many official titles, "Pope" is not one of them. However, the head of the Coptic church is officially called "Pope", so the Pope is not Catholic. |

Glitch Techs: Miko asks Five "Do salamanders love seaweed?" His confused reaction only serves to make her feel more isolated. When she meets fellow weirdo Ripley and asks the same question, she gets the response "Only when it's raining!" which seems to be the answer she wanted. Later, Five tells her he did some research and salamanders are herbivores, so they actually don't like seaweed. |

In the first Artemis Fowl book, when watching a tape, Root asks Foaly whether he can zoom in on Artemis' face. Foaly responds, "Can a dwarf steal the web from under a spider?" Root replies yes, and Foaly tells him that it was a rhetorical question. A Running Gag throughout the series is characters using the question, "Can a dwarf blow a hole in his pants?" for this trope. |

Friends: In one episode, one of Ross' girlfriends (Cheryl) asks him whether he'd like to come in, and he replies, "Did Homo erectus hunt with wooden tools?" In another episode, Chandler is asked by a collegue whether he wants a cigarette. He responds: "Would Joey like two pizzas?" She doesn't get it, since she never met Joey. And in another episode Phoebe is asked if her two boyfriends know about each other. In the DVD version of "The One With the Cheap Wedding Dress", Ross and Joey scare off the woman they're competing over by revealing each other's embarrassing secrets. Not wanting to waste the restaurant table, Ross asks Joey if he's hungry and Joey replies with "does a bear shit in the woods?" |
