What Parents Need to Know

About Yo Momma

Parents need to know that although this series is billed as a comedy, young men and women fire "yo momma" jokes at one another with the sole intent of causing embarrassment and degradation. Each joke follows a format: "Your mother is so 'something' that 'something bad or embarrassing' happened as a result." The trash-talking jokes are clearly not taken seriously, but are they only funny when poked at other people?

    I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it 5.0

    lol there has to be no kid who hasnt heard and/or repeated these jokes.

    I loved this show but I havent seen it in a while. The host, Wilmer Vladerama, goes to a random city (usualy in the bigger cities) and goes in search of the biggest trash talker in the city. Its the preliminary round, house raid of the two finalists, and finaly a final round. The winner gets like $50,000 and sometimes a psp or or other portable game consol. This is for kids who know about it and they are always repeated so it really doesn't matter. its for teens because thats the usual age they start to do that.

    Perhaps the dumbest show ever invented-- and it's not even funny

    If watching immature adults stand around and insult other people is your idea of a good show, then I can say nothing except I'm very sorry. I watched this show once, and it was enough to show me just how stupid and free of entertainment it is. Insulters do just that, and act horribly in doing so. Sections of the insult games are horrible also, like "Family Bagging". Plus, to top it all off, what is the point of having a insult-joke show if the insults aren't even clever, more or less funny. It's even worse than "Wild'n Out", which was already a ppor attempt to recreate a modern-cultured "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"-- which comes highly reccommended, especially from me, since I've been watching it for a looooooooong time. So don't even waste your time with this junk; you'll regret it deeply otherwise.
