I was hoping for yo mama jokes taken from literature. As for example, Shakespeare's
"Thy mother's of my generation. What's she, if I be a dog?"
(Timon of Athens, Act 1 Scene 1)

The most recent Surprisingly Awesome podcast is all about insults, janks, zingers, sick buuurns, and features a healthy dose of yo mama.

From the opening:
I took a picture of your mom, got it developed. When I hung it up, the nail bent.
Your mama’s so fat, when she wears yellow, people yell taxi.
Your mama’s so fat, the back of her neck looks like a pack of hotdogs.
Your mother’s so fat, her blood type is Ragu.

Came in here to post "I have done thy mother" from Titus Andronicus, but got beat to it.

Instead, I will point out that your mama's so dumb, she heard the weather was chilly and ran outside with a bowl.

Your mama's so fat, that when I told Tom Sawyer to go paint the fence, he accidentally painted her.

Yo mama's such a control freak, she petitioned the State of Massachusetts to make a law changing the signs over the express lanes to read "10 items or fewer".

I'm not a resident of a country where yo mama jokes are customary, but I remember the last time I read a yo mama joke was on usenet. Must have been the end of the nineties or somesuch.

The joke? Oh, yes. Yo mama is so fat, your father has to roll her around in flour to find the wet spot.

Yo mama's so careless she smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into her money or her vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept her together and let other people clean up the mess she had made.

Yo mama's so humorless, she asks you to not make slut-shaming fat jokes delivered in mock AAVE.

It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and yo mama was so dumb, she didn’t know what she was doing in New York.

Yo mama's so fat, she read Lindy West's Shrill and cried when she finally realized that she was entitled to the same joy, self-respect, and basic dignity as anyone else.

And then she got mad.

If you really want to hear about yo mama, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is how fat she is, and how stupid she is, and how old she is, and all that kind of crap, but I don’t feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. In the first place, that stuff bores me, and in the second place, yo mama would have two hemorrhages if I told anything pretty personal about her.

"Abandon hope all ye who enter here" is scrawled in blood red lettering on the side of Yo Mama near the corner of Eleventh and First and is in print large enough to be seen from the backseat of the cab as it lurches forward in the traffic leaving Wall Street and just as Timothy Price notices the words a bus pulls up...

I remember mistaking Yo Mama for a trout stream in Vermont, and I had to beg her pardon.

"Excuse me," I said. "I thought you were a trout stream."

"I'm not," she said.

August Strindberg was good at this, there's a quote of his in steel plates on a popular street in Stockholm (Drottninggaran): Din mor var här,… och hon lämnar en lukt efter sig som en ihjälslagen orm.

Yo mama was here and she left behind an odor like that of a snake beaten to a pulp.
