| | 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.) |

On Angela Anaconda, Angela asks Nicky if he's serious about them being cast in the Abatti's Pizza commercial. He replies, "Hey, is the Pope Italian?" Gina, of course, corrects him (then-Pope John Paul II was Polishnote in fact, there hasn't been an Italian Pope since 1978, when John Paul I died one month into his Popedom). |

The Simpsons:
A newly smart Homer uses "Is the capital of North Dakota, Bismarck?" in the "HOMR" episode and the entire family turned blankly to Lisa, who told them yes, it was.
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?" |

Doctor Who Expanded Universe:
In the Doctor Who-Sherlock Holmes crossover All-Consuming Fire, Ace says, "Does the pope wear a funny hat?" 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. |

Garfield:
In an early strip, Jon asks Garfield, "Did you ever think you could win a cat show?" Garfield responds, "Does a baby go goo?"
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."

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. |

Savannah asks her friend Dirk if he wants some ice cream. He begins with "Do bears sh-" and Savannah cuts him off, explaining that there's a minor in the house.
When asked if she wants to join Dirk in questioning people in the interrogation room, Savannah's response is, "Does Victoria's Secret have fancy bloomers?" |

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?" |
