Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Yes-People (Já-fólkið) is a 2020 animated short film from Iceland directed by Gísli Darri Halldórsson.It is based around three households living in the same apartment building. One consists of an elderly married couple; she irritates him with the way she loudly slurps soup. A second consists of a single mom music teacher and her teenaged son, who is a gamer. The third is a middle-aged married couple, with a husband who works in an office and his wife, a homemaker, who has developed a major drinking problem.The hook to the cartoon is that the only word spoken is "yes" (Icelandic já, pronounced "yow"), but with many different shades of meaning.

Recurring Riff: "Sveitin milli sanda", a 1960s Icelandic hit by Elly Vilhjálms. It appears repeatedly throughout the short, like when the older man turns up the radio to drown out his wife's soup slurping, or when a boy in music class plays it horribly on the recorder, or again during the closing credits.

Berserk Button: The older woman irritates her husband by loudly slurping her soup in the morning. She is obviously aware of this and does it on purpose even as he turns up the volume on the radio.

Dreadful Musician: The single mom is a music teacher, and in one scene she is cringing as a boy plays a recorder very, very badly.

Lady Drunk: The homemaker chugs alcohol in the daytime while her husband's at work. She hides it behind a chair when he comes home. Later, when she passes out at the dinner table only to slip and fall out of the chair, she seems to have a moment of clarity.
