Most of you would have heard or seen the hottest reality TV game show, 'Yo Momma' on MTV, created and hosted by Wilmer Valderrama from the 70's show. One day while watching, it got me thinking...who or where did the 'Yo Momma' jokes come from? so I went online and digged out something interesting.
In the early 90's there was a hip hop band called The Pharcyde's that released a track tittled...you guessed it"Ya Momma". So at the out come of that, "Your mom" jokes became common in North American pop culture in the early nineties. Of all these years frequently used in playful banter between friends, The Biggest Hidden fact was The Phracyde's where not actually the first to start "Yo Momma".
Although this may appear to be a recent phenomenon, one can trace its roots far back in history. Indeed, William Shakespeare appears to utilize such a device in Act I Scene 1 of Timon of Athens.
Painter: "Y'are a dog."
Apemantus: "Thy mother's of my generation. What's she, if I be a dog?"
Here are some of my favourite Ugly "yo Momma" jokes.
- Yo momma so ugly she made an onion cry.
- Yo momma so ugly Ted Dansen wouldn't date her!
- Yo momma so ugly that your father takes her to work with him so that he doesn't have to kiss her goodbye.
- Yo momma so ugly when she walks into a bank they turn off surveillance cameras.
- Yo momma so ugly just after she was born, her mother said "What a treasure!" and her father said "Yes, let's go bury it."
