The rise of the mom joke

[Qonfused]

I've strived to get a fortune cookie that says:

"You will have bad luck and misfortune for the rest of your miserable life."

I'd laugh. Then cry.

I got a fortune cookie once, it said "meet me round the back in 15 mins"

I did so, and a bunch of thugs beat me up and stole my wallet.

Bastards. I didn't know they had such sophisticated enticement technology.

Way back in 7th grade, kids in my school didn't even bother saying the "That's what your..." part, they just said "your mom".

Me: Hi.
Some guy: Your mom.

There was also another varient of it. Instead of saying "your mom", you'd say "your face". Yeah, it made no sense.

Does anybody else notice rising usage of "the mom joke"?

I have, and it's pissing me off. The jokes end up horribly immature and stale.

I don't mean like, some guy going "THAT'S WHAT YOUR MOM SAID!" when you say "oh my god that gigantic stick just shot fluid all over me" (an honest and rather entertaining usage), i'm talking about some jackass in a sports jacket appending "your mom" to every single frigging word you say.


"Stop that man, it hurts"

"THAT'S WHAT YOUR MOM SAID"

I'm a big exponent of the venerable tradition of "Your mum" jokes. They're funny because they're SO childish, so I'd say they're justified in a post-playground tongue-in-cheek ironic way.

I tend to think of it like this, if someone says "I had sex with your mum" I reply.

"I'm an open minded person, so I think it's fine you enjoy having sex with middle aged, wrinkly and in most cases obese women."

And I get no response.

EDIT: Off-topic, but what the hell is your avatar, Diluted? I keep thinking he says "I have a pickle and I like to car pool"

 

[Blackghost905]

I know someone that always says your mom or a mom joke to everything so I know what you are talking about
