Your Mom jokes, often referred to as 'Yo Mama' jokes, are a staple of urban culture and schoolyard comedy dating back to the 'Playing the Dozens' tradition. These jokes rely on hyperbole to insult an opponent's mother regarding her weight, age, appearance, or intelligence. While the concept of maternal insults exists in ancient texts, the modern meme format popularized these quips through 90s television and later through internet image macros. Today, they are used both ironically and as a nostalgic form of lighthearted roasting, often featuring exaggerated characters or classic reaction faces to deliver the punchline.
