Switching gears a little bit, I heard one of the funniest comebacks from my friends son when he was 12.
He was horsing around with his friends and one said “you’re gayyyyy”.
Scotty, without skipping a beat retorted
“Oh so I fuck your father one time and that makes me gay?”
Well those insults are usually not very serious. If they are intended genuinely then no I don’t care if you insult my parents.
I don’t really care and I have a GOOD relationship with my parents. I’m not really sure how this genre of insult came to be or why people don’t generally find it just kinda funny. It’s weird because unless that person personally knows either of your parents then you know for a fact that whatever they’re saying about them is entirely irrelevant and given the context where this is happening is usually one of animosity anyway, there’s no kind of base level respect that you have for the person who says these things or their opinions so no real reason to care about anything they say.
I think maybe they’re supposed to work on the level of it being a kind of public humiliation thing in the sense that the ‘honour’ of your parents is somehow impugned but since no reasonable person can possibly take what they’re saying seriously that’s really not a major concern and if they truly did have a problem with them I rather think that’s an issue they should take up with my parents because it has nothing to do with me anyway.
In China, I don’t think there is even a “fuck you”, the default curseword is always “fuck your mother”
Yeah saying something like that is irrelevant to me. Like, “So? Hope you had fun”
Insults like that can be replaced with the words “I am trying to upset you” in the same way any line delivered by Brian Blessed can be replaced with the words “Did someone order a LARGE HAM?” so… no, not really.
You’re going to get your dad to beat up my dad? For real? Ok, hang on, lemme find a pen ans give you my address. He’ll be mowing the lawn on Sunday afternoon, I’ll see you there! This is going to be great!
(This is a poorly paraphrased rendition of a Bill Hicks sketch, it’s stuck with me since I fist saw it as a kid tho as my parents were also assholes. My dad was built tho and would probably have killed anyone elses dad who was stupid enough to try anything, but the sketch made me laugh, so that’s something.)
I have an ok relationship with my parents. Never been offended about these ”insults”.
Friends mom is a POS, it doesn't seem to bother him, he hates her too. But I'm sure he'd much rather have a healthy relationship with her if it was possible, that part probably hurts some what.
I don’t give a shit about such insults.
They just show I’m facing another moron, which I can beat intellectually with hardly any effort.
How about a reply along the lines of, OK I’m sure she enjoyed that, how was it for you to fuck a 60 year old woman?
Or alternatively: Oh were you the impotent one she mentioned?
I was once in a bar in the winter where some local was trying to be diss me because we had signed up for the billiard table.
I was wearing a IMO very cool scarf, and the local walked up to me, feeling my scarf and asking if my mom had made that for me.
And I responded (truthfully) that no, it was not my mom but my sister who had made it.
He had no idea how to respond to that, because I had at once told him that no, I am not a mothers baby, but I do have a nice family.
He was at a complete loss for words, and simply walked away, because he had no response to that.
Insults about family are moronic, some random stranger don’t know your family anyway, so it’s 100% made up and not worth getting offended over. On the other hand it shows an infantile mentality that can be easily manipulated if you keep your cool.
It’s so easy to throw such shit back at them doubly, and they tend to get confused, because they know they were beat with next to no effort.
What are the good insults about? Please, you teach me.
I’m with everyone else, does ANYONE really care about those?
I always responded with “You fucked MY mom? What is wrong with you she is fucking disgusting.” That would take their power away and put the onus of embarrassment on them. Worked pretty well. It’s hard to joke about someone’s mom or anything for that matter if the person you are trying to make fun of takes it in stride and turns it around on you.
I always used this:
“I fucked your mom last night!”
“Ew. You need to get yourself tested…”
I like to act like they just reminded me that she asked me to talk to them about it and then start talking about some really bizarre fetish stuff that she can’t deal with anymore.
One of my favorite ones actually got gagging noises from other people in the room. "Look, she asked me to talk to you about the diaper thing. Hold on. Don’t get too upset
Yeah but why the fuck say that
I had a good relationship with my parents.
When someone threw a fat mom joke at me, I didn’t care, unless it was a good one and landed hard, in which case I congratulated them on a great quip and applauded it.
No, we don’t. My response to that would be something like, “damn, that’s why she sounded so disappointed. We hadn’t spoken in a few weeks, so I know it wasn’t me this time… it sounded like she got some bad dick, thanks for providing context I suppose.”
Or if it were in passing/in person, maybe something more short and to the point like “she told me, said it wasn’t the worst she had, nor the smallest, but definitely the saddest.”
Or maybe just “I’m sorry, you should go get tested.”
Wouldn’t bother me in the least.
I don’t have a “bad” relationship with my mother, but a joke like that is hardly worth considering. Might as well have some fun with it.
Or maybe just “I’m sorry, you should go get tested.”
That’s a good one. 😀
Why would anyone care? Huh?
Does anyone who aged out of middle school care about that insult?
A couple of years ago i saw a post about one of these SUPREME shits, except it was a funny parody. I opened the post because i thought someone would post a link to buy it or something. The main conversation on the post was that wearing a fake supreme shirt was social suizide. It was that day where i realised that not everyone is your age on the internet
So a couple steps beyond a good shit?
Zinedine Zidane?
At this point your mamma jokes have become things said between friends so we can feel youthful again
Yo momma so old she knew Burger King when he was still a prince
Yes, but among friends is different.

I don't care, really.
It is said by people who truly only peaked in high school and think still saying that is the cool thing to do.
Like if my mom died and someone said that, I'd probably be like "oh so you're into necrophilia? good to know, champ"
