| "Yes"/"No" Answer Interpretation | comment |
A three-part, generally comedic dialogue trope that goes as follows: Alice asks Bob a yes/no question, or communicates something else that should get a yes/no response (request, offer, etc.) Bob does something other than responding "yes" or "no". Alice asks how Bob's response is to be interpreted as an answer and/or offers her own interpretation. ("Is that a 'yes' or 'no'?" "Is that a 'yes'?" "I'll take that as a 'no'." etc.) The trope is very flexible, as long as the three parts are there.note In fact, even step 3 alone implies this trope is at least being thought of, even if it wasn't begun normally, because saying things about an answer to a question implies there has been a question and an answer. Step 2 could be verbal or nonverbal. It could be an Implied Answer, a Non-Answer or something completely unrelated; it could be an indecisive answer or a very decisive one (just not usually, for obvious reasons, a simple "yes" or "no"); it could be ambiguously an answer, a perfectly clear answer, perfectly clearly not an answer to the question at all, an apparent bizarre Non Sequitur, and so forth. As such, step 3 could be a perfectly reasonable response, Comically Missing the Point, stating the obvious, sarcasm, wishful thinking, etc. Compare Non-Answer, where the question is not necessarily a yes/no question, but the answer given is still insufficient. May be a Cryptically Unhelpful Answer. If a question is not a yes or no question but the answerer responds "Yes," or "No," that's probably a Mathematician's Answer. |

When Belle from Beauty and the Beast was first taken hostage in the castle, she was kept in the dungeon. Lumiere tells Beast that, if Belle is supposed to fall in love with him, it would probably help to give her an actual room. Despite wording the suggestion in the most tactful way possible, Beast growls at Lumiere so fiercely his flames are almost lit out before storming off. Lumiere takes that as a no. | |

On an episode of Xiaolin Showdown, Omi uses an object to split him into copies, which unfortunately suffer from Clone Degeneration. When one of the copies runs across a Shen Gong Wu as the same time as Jack Spicer, Jack challenges him to a Xiaolin Showdown. When the copy doesn't answer, he asks him if he accepts. The copy just beeps his nose. Jack decides to take that as a yes. | |

In Static Shock, a sunspot is messing with Static's powers, but unfortunately he has to deal with Hot Streak. He tries to trick Hot Streak into thinking that the sunspot has made him even more powerful, but the ruse falters. Static gives Hot Streak a chance to surrender, which he just laughs at. Static mutters that he'll take that as a no. Hot Streak responds "Wrong. This is a no!" and starts hurling fireballs at Static. | |

Ready Jet Go!: At the beginning of "Solar System Bake-Off", Mitchell talks to his dog Cody. Cody ignores him, and Mitchell takes that as a "Yes, Mitchell! That's my goal too!" Not too long afterwards, Cody grunts at Mr. Peterson, which he interprets as a "Yes, I understand, Mr. Peterson" In "A Visit from Uncle Zucchini", when Zucchini asks Moonbeam if the "planet" up ahead is Earth, she says "no" by strumming a bad chord on her guitar. Zucchini takes that as a "yes". |

Stargate SG-1: Used in the pilot episode "Children of the Gods". Jack answers Hammond's question in a reasonably confident tone of voice, but by this point Air Force personnel have been torn up pretty badly by the Jaffa both times they've met them, so you can understand Hammond not sharing Jack's confidence. After beaming onto an enemy ship and coming under heavy fire, Colonel Mitchell announces his presence and asks the enemy soldiers to surrender. When they don't stop shooting, he says "That's a no" and starts returning fire. |

Towards the end of Portal 2: In the run-up to the final boss fight, Wheatley tries to cajole Chell into killing herself. If you just leave without jumping into the masher, Wheatley responds with a simple "I'll take that as a 'no', then." If you take the time to shoot a mine into the monitor before you go, his response is longer and a lot angrier, but is basically amounts to the same thing. During the fight itself, the Announcer voice does this. |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: Done twice in a row in one conversation in "The Ticket Master": "Dragonshy", between one of the ponies and her non-talking rabbit Angel (note that the trope doesn't appear until the last lines): In "Green Isn't Your Color": In "Owl's Well That Ends Well", Spike sarcastically interprets a Rock Bottom + Tempting Fate situation by this model. "Could it get any worse?" (Cue the Rain.) "I guess that's a 'yes'." At the beginning of "Princess Twilight Sparkle - Part 1", Applejack proudly states that the Mane Six are united by the Elements of Harmony, and no royal duties are going to change that. "Right, Everypony? Right, Pinkie Pie?" But Pinkie is daydreaming about "creamy, creamy frosting". After Fluttershy helpfully wipes her friend's mouth, she adds "We should take that as a 'yes'." Parodied in "Tanks for the Memories" when Rainbow Dash is in denial. |

JAG: In "Tribunal", Sturgis is assigned as co-defense counsel for the fictional Al-Qaida No 3 in the military tribunal held aboard a warship, and has an Army Special Forces captain on the stand to answer questions about unconventional warfare by US Forces and that of unlawful combatants. The implication of the final question being that there's not always a distinct difference between them. | |

Soundtrack Attack: Steven stares in awe at a temple sculpted after a Gem, referring to it as a "giant woman". Pearl asks if Opal really impacted him that much; when Steven doesn't respond, still breathtaken by the statue, Amethyst says she'll take that as a "yes". | |

How the Light Gets In: A variation. Dean and Nyssa went on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge to avenge Laurel. Once this is over, Dean (who has minor injuries) asks if she's hurt. Nyssa just chuckles, clearly finding the question ludicrous. Dean takes that as answer enough and moves on. | |

Played for drama in Aladdin. Aladdin, as Prince Ali, is bound, gagged, and thrown off a cliff into the ocean. In his struggles to get free, he manages to rub the lamp before he passes out. The Genie wants to free Aladdin, but after Aladdin tricked him into getting them out of the Cave of Wonders with no wishing, they agreed "no more freebies", so he can't save Aladdin without an actual wish. He reminds Aladdin of this, saying, "You have to say, 'Genie, I want you to save my life.' Got it?" He quickly interprets an unconscious head bob as a yes and saves Aladdin at the cost of a wish. | |

The Hobbit: After the defeat of Smaug, Laketown sends troops to the mountain to seek compensation for the destruction of their town by the dragon. Thorin refuses to negotiate while there is an army at his gates, especially while the wood elves have their own army there as well. They give him some time to think it over, and after some hours the Laketown messengers return to give what Bilbo thinks is a reasonable demand and hear Thorin's response. He isn't in a talking mood. | |
