Yo Mama Jokes History And Origination

There are hundreds of jokes that we all quote and use in order to put a smile on other people’s face, make others laugh, or just to insult them! Not many of us stop to think about where the variety of jokes have originated from because not many of them have a deep background. For example we have blonde jokes to make fun of women with blonde hair because we feel that many of them are or act like they don’t know anything. We make fun of lawyers because well…that’s a story we won’t get into right now.

Surprisingly enough when it comes to yo mama jokes they come with a very interesting background. Yo mama jokes are also referred to as ‘the dozens’ and is an tradition among African Americans in which two people (that are usually guys) will compete against each other in trash talking. This trash talking is all in good fun and in the middle of it are their mothers.

The two competitors will go back and forth and try to come up with the best comeback jokes against the other person’s mother until someone gives up in defeat. Playing the dozens using yo mama jokes is played to see who is has the better mental toughness and mental agility. Each joke that is used makes it that much more difficult for the other to respond with a comeback.

Usually yo mama jokes are used to poke fun at others and no one takes it personal. However, there are times when people do it to be personal. When this happens people start to become very angry and in most cases it will end with some type of violent act. But in its best form the dozens is just purely verbal sparring.

Yo mama jokes are just one example of the dozens game. They are very cryptic, short, and in most cases downright hilarious. Other times the fathers, sisters, brothers, or even wives will be the object of attention.
