That's what your mom said last night...

<p>Just curious everyone, what exactly is the purpose of the "your mom" jokes? I mean, the jokes always refer to one's mother being a bit too sexually active but I never understood why some guys crack these jokes at each other. Last time I checked, the general consensus of 19 and 20 year olds was that it wasn't exactly sexually appealing to be involved with someone twice or three times your age (unless you're into that kind of stuff or your name is Ashton K. or you're talking about a your mom joke).</p>

<p>It's not to up the rep of the person saying it, just to degrade the person whom it is said to by degrading the most important person in his/her life: mom.
Moms are just sacred.</p>

<p>I might be wrong but I think Laptop lover is a girl b/c most guys would understand why talking about someone's mother is so offensive and hence so funny LOL</p>

<p>Don't you make fun of my momma.</p>

<p>I don't understand why some people take such offense to momma jokes either.</p>

<p>Did you just talk about my momma?</p>

<p>like sunshineyday said, you can mess w/ us, but mess w/ our mamma, and you're dead meat.</p>

<p>Oh yea!!! I bet The Waterboy would take exceptional offense to momma jokes lol.</p>

<p>You did not just talk about my momma.</p>

<p>Your momma is so fat, here's what her game of hopscotch looks like:</p>

<p>Starting point: UNC
Median: Texas Tech
End: USC</p>

<p>Awww, heeellll no!</p>

<p>all i can say is: ROFL</p>

<p>My friend hates "Your mom" jokes, so I annoyed her by adding "your mom" onto anything that she said.</p>

<p>Friend: I'm hungry.
Me: YOUR MOM's hungry.
Friend: I lost my Bio homework!
Me: YOUR MOM lost your bio homework.
Friend: Is the subjunctive form of savoir sache?
Me: Um.... the past participle of YOUR MOM is sache....!</p>

<p>Your mom hates your mom jokes.</p>

<p>That's what my friends do to me. Not much fun on my end. :p</p>

<p>And MJ582, your logic is more than slightly flawed.</p>

<p>Your mom's logic is more than slightly flawed.</p>

<p>LOL. Actually, I'm a guy.</p>

<p>I basically found myself cracking a ridiculous amount of your mom jokes that I won't repeat here for fear of being banned from CC and I asked myself, "OK, so I told 6 of my friends that I had been their mothers...yuck"</p>

<p>The Your Mom jokes are so old-fashioned. Join me in introducing Your Dad jokes. It usually triggers a louder and more interesting response.</p>

<p>Person: What animal do you associate yourself with?
Me: Your mom. Wait, actually, YOUR DAD.</p>

<p>Onlookers: OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO</p>

<p>I don't say that it a mean way, of course. I'm not cheap.</p>

<p>Your mom isn't cheap, either. </p>

<p>:D</p>

<p>OoOoOoOoOoOoOoO</p>
