What do you think about mom jokes?

Asked by J0E (13172points) July 29th, 2009

I was rereading some previous comments and it seems like a large majority does not understand them. I remember one of the first days during the “wis.dm exodus” that a mom joke was made by a new member and he was severely modded for it.

You realize that they are just jokes right?

Yeah, but they’re pretty lame jokes that don’t add too much to the discussion…

Sarcasm's avatar

@dynamicduo Your mom doesn’t add much to the discussion! OH! SNAP! PUT SOME ICE ON THAT BURN!

I’m not a fan of them, but I can’t say (if I were a mod somewhere) that I’d punish somebody for making them.

J0E's avatar

@dynamicduo I think the point of them is to be lame.

Do you mean playing the dozens?

People can get pretty sensitive quickly, even though things start with humour. And the internet isn’t the best at relaying subtleties. Maybe the mods are just trying to be careful so things don’t flame up.

If we’ve learned anything from wisdm, fluther, etc., it’s that a great number of people take things too seriously online. Yes, they’re lame. No, they don’t offend me. People spend way too much time being defensive over silly shit.

In soviet Russia, mom jokes you!

gggritso's avatar

Well my skinny smart mom doesn’t find them funny, does that answer your question?

@boots She’s also Russian.

J0E's avatar

@jeanna: ”People spend way too much time being defensive over silly shit.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

J0E's avatar

@gggritso um…no, it doesn’t.

gggritso's avatar

@J0E Haha, Ok, I’m sorry I’ll be more constructive. @jeanna is right, anyone who gets really offended is just taking it too seriously. Most of the time though, mom jokes just aren’t that funny. If you find a good one, let us know :)

Jayne's avatar

Your mom didn’t realize it was just a joke last night! Damn, your ass just got schooled!
I can’t say I am a big fan of them, but they can be fun on occasion.

jrpowell's avatar

I remember you and Ivan joking about fucking my mom in the chatroom. That pissed me off something fierce.

arnbev959's avatar

They do not offend me, since the joke isn’t really about my mother, but I don’t really understand them either. The medium is tacky, but as with any medium, it is possible to be clever with it. Unfortunately I haven’t heard many clever “your mom” jokes.

SuperMouse's avatar

My boys (10, 9 and 7 for those who don’t know) think they are the funnies thing in the world! I like to listen to them tell mom jokes because they are so tickled by them. For the record though, I do not have my own zip code, when I sit around the house I only take up one couch, and I can walk in front of the tv without causing viewers to miss more than a split second!

jrpowell's avatar

I should add that it wasn’t a “your mamma is so fat” joke. It was “I will fuck your mom in the ass.” jokes. Granted, that is being a asshole and not making a joke. I still think Ivan and Joe are douche bags. Ivan more than Joe.

J0E's avatar

@johnpowell I would never, nor will I ever, say something like that, that is not how I talk at all. If you’ve been treating me like shit based off of that I don’t blame you, but I really, really, doubt I said that.

jrpowell's avatar

It was you or Ivan. It is hard to tell you apart. If I had two spare weeks I would dig through the transcripts.

Really, you both made jokes in the room while talking about fucking my mom in the ass. She is 53 pervs. It was a back and forth between you two.

jeanna's avatar

@johnpowell What was the point in attacking Ivan and Joe on this question? No one attacked you on it, and Ivan hasn’t even left any comments so he can’t even defend himself. This is one time I sure wish I had the ability to take away the great answers you were given for that immature response.

J0E's avatar

@johnpowell No, I do not talk like that. I can’t speak for Ivan but I would be surprised if he even said that.

dalepetrie's avatar

@johnpowell – who cares if someone said they were violating your mother…it was just a joke. Besides, we all know your mom is a dyke….ohhhh snap. j/k, I’ve never met your mom, I’m sure she’s a wonderful person

I say, just a joke, most people who make yo’ mamma jokes don’t even know your mom, if you let the joke upset you, you’re basically playing right into their hands. Someone makes a sex joke about my mom, I just turn it around on them.

Example:

Random Fluther User (we’ll call this person RFU for short): That’s what your mother said when I was fucking her in the ass last night

Me: I know, she told me that you couldn’t get your 2 inch penis up unless you pretended she was a guy.

That’s how I roll…

The boundless wisdom of the late Airow included that (paraphrase) “your mom” jokes are stupid and childish, and usually quite funny.

Your mom is also a beautiful, upstanding citizen.

rooeytoo's avatar

I’m with johnpowell, it would make me madder than hell. It is no different than ethnic jokes but for some reason they are not pc but sexist, blond etc jokes are okay.

To answer the question, they are not funny, they are for the most part, crude and rude and stupid.

J0E's avatar

This is why my mascot is the joker, to everyone who takes offense to such stupid and lame jokes I say: Why So Serious?

Blondesjon's avatar

@J0E . . .I’m serious because your mom gave me your brother’s herpes that he contracted from your father’s corpse.

J0E's avatar

@Blondesjon your mom’s a corpse

Blondesjon's avatar

@J0E . . .Dude. If that’s an example of the best you can do, I don’t even want to waste my time playing.

SuperMouse's avatar

Here are the funniest “mom jokes” if you ask me.

Ivan's avatar

@Blondesjon

Your mom likes to play.

Blondesjon's avatar

@Ivan . . .Sure she does. With your mother’s dick.

Ivan's avatar

Dude, your mom has sex with transsexuals?

Blondesjon's avatar

Just the transsexuals with kids named IVAN.

Ivan's avatar

Your mom has some pretty specific fetishes.

Blondesjon's avatar

at least you gave it a try.

Ivan's avatar

Your mom gave it a try.

aprilsimnel's avatar

That’s right, I said “Yo momma!”

rooeytoo's avatar

Some people think that the only kind of abuse is physical. They ignore what other people plainly say they find hurtful because it is only words and to them, words don’t count as abuse, only swats on the bottom.

Ivan's avatar

MOAR SPANKING DISCUSSIONS! MOAR!!

jonsblond's avatar

Mom jokes?

You might as well waste your time watching this guy.

Blondesjon's avatar

@jonsblond . . .Watching that guy fuck your mother.

jonsblond's avatar

@Blondesjon Your mom got sloppy seconds.

SuperMouse's avatar

@jonsblond, please warn us before linking something like that again. I’m getting ready to go to bed, now I have to go to sleep with that image in my head.

Blondesjon's avatar

@jonsblond . . .Aren’t they all sloppy when you get ‘em from Carrot Top?

kenmc's avatar

@johnpowell Teh interwebz = serious business!

J0E's avatar

@Blondesjon I’m not trying to be clever, mom jokes are best when they make no sense.

Ivan's avatar

@J0E

Just like your mom.

Blondesjon's avatar

@J0E . . .Like the cents that @Ivan‘s mom gives in change for fucking your mom like her daddy did?

J0E's avatar

@Blondesjon you’re really reaching now.

Ivan's avatar

That’s what your mom said.

crunchaweezy's avatar

The same thing I think for every other joke, they’re jokes.

Achilles's avatar

Mom jokes are amazing! Although recently I’ve switched to “your Dad” jokes. Just to be different. Gotta catch them off guard!

Blondesjon's avatar

@Achilles . . .I caught your mom off guard.

Achilles's avatar

@Blondesjon lmao, that you did, well done

pinkparaluies's avatar

Love Mom jokes. My friends and I basically have entire conversations revolving around this “Yo mama owes me seven dollas”, etc… its really dirty haha

Ruallreb8ters's avatar

When I think of “your mom” jokes all i can think of is your mom

Blondesjon's avatar

@Ruallreb8ters . . . I can’t think of “your mom” jokes because I’m being distracted by what your mom is doing to my crotch.

Ruallreb8ters's avatar

@Blondesjon Thats funn ybecause i was going to call your mom tonight but it’s 9:00 and I hate getting sloopy 42nds

Blondesjon's avatar

@Ruallreb8ters . . . I understand. I know how much you hate going after your dad.

Sarcasm's avatar

Yeah, he does seem to hate going after me…

Ruallreb8ters's avatar

@Blondesjon you must have been distracted by your mom with 42 dudes cause that didn’t make sense.

@Sarcasm that was funny. get it sarcasm that was funny…. because it wasn’t

Blondesjon's avatar

@Sarcasm . . . I don’t think he gets the whole Mom Joke thread. Must come from his mother’s side.

Fyrius's avatar

His mum comes from his mother’s side.

Ruallreb8ters's avatar

@Blondesjon I came on your mothers side. —I was trying to “superman that hoe” but missed

Blondesjon's avatar

@Ruallreb8ters . . . Your mom is a super man.

aprilsimnel's avatar

OOOOOH! Oh, SNAP, son!

Ruallreb8ters's avatar

@Blondesjon yeah you should try to redeam yourself… no..? canceled the crafting.? witty response pending?

Blondesjon's avatar

J0E's avatar

Ivan's avatar

@dverhey

It’s your mom’s mothers day.

Blondesjon's avatar

I guess since it’s not “Whore That Shat Me Out Day” you don’t have to buy a card.

DeanV's avatar

@Blondesjon That’s not until June.
