Possibly the most incorrectly formulated joke found on the internet, especially in YouTube comments. Here is how it is usually phrased, let's say we're talking about a song with a lot of autotune. A commenter who's feeling clever might quip:
Producer 1: How much autotune should we put in this song?
Producer 2: Yes
This is INCORRECT, it is nonsensical and ungrammatical if you stop to think about it for two seconds. How much and how many are not yes / no questions, you can't answer "how much?" with "yes" unless you also specify two or more options. For example:
Q: How much autotune should we put in this song, a few touches or a robot-stroke inducing truckload?
A: Yes
Producer 1: How much autotune should we put in this song?
Producer 2: Yes
This is INCORRECT, it is nonsensical and ungrammatical if you stop to think about it for two seconds. How much and how many are not yes / no questions, you can't answer "how much?" with "yes" unless you also specify two or more options. For example:
Q: How much autotune should we put in this song, a few touches or a robot-stroke inducing truckload?
A: Yes
Person 1: Should we make a few grammatically incorrect "Yes" jokes or spam the entire internet with them?
Person 2: Yes
Person 2: Yes
