Not many categories of jokes have a history or background. We don’t know who started them or why they were started. Or we do - but they are very basic. 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.

If you listen closely to these jokes and when two are competing against each other you will notice a hint of elements that are often used to create many hip hop songs called ‘battling’.
