r/NoStupidQuestions on Reddit: Can someone explain to me the "E.Y.E.S" joke?
September 17, 2021 -
So the joke goes that you ask someone "what does Y.E.S spell?" and they'll reply with "yes" and then you'll ask them "what does E.Y.E.S spell?" and they'll likely reply with "yes" but I don't understand how people fall for saying "yes" because when my friend asked me "what does E.Y.E.S spell" I said "eyes".

It's called priming, and in the context you use a certain set of words or circumstance to trick normal logic. It can trick even the smartest individual if played right. This one is a little obvious, but some aren't so much.

Once people have "yes" in their brain that becomes the basis for the next spelling they have to calculate, so instead of pivoting to a totally different sounding word (eyes) they'll continue thinking of "yes" and just tack an e on the front

Mal:"I see, then I shall indulge ... it spells yes" ... Despite Yuu's slight disappointment he didn't fall for it, it is adorable how fascinated he is despite not realizing what the joke was about. He even tries to tell the joke to the other diasomnia students, and even if they don't fall for the joke and respond in the same confused manner Mal did he'll still let out a small chuckle while explaining how this was ...
