Seriously, HOW do people find "I did your mom" jokes funny?

[Computer-Noob]

YAY you had sex with someone 30 years older than you, who lives in a totally different country and probably several hours away! And you've never met them! And you're not funny! HAHAHA!

I suppose depending on the delivery it COULD be funny, but most of the time people act like upon saying it they are superior or some crap in comparison to me.

they're the perfect response to any situation

 

[Lazzi]

They are one of those "you had to be there" type of jokes that are only funny in the moment.

 

[Zamn]

The delivery is the whole point, as you seem to have already realised. Your rant is scroogy though, let people have their fun.

Scout: What are you? President of his fan club?
Spy: No...that would be your MOTHER!!!

It depends on the timing/situation/how delivered/smart

 

[UltimatheChosen]

It depends a lot on how you tell it. For instance, just randomly saying "I did your mom" isn't funny. If, on the other hand, somebody says something that can be taken the wrong way, and you adapt it into the joke, it can be amusing. It's an easy joke to get wrong, however.

No I'm pretty sure it was your mom.

 

[petey hunter]

He does have a point The joke is rarely funny unless in certain situations It's like the Joke "That's what she said." Which is Dumb unless in a certain situation

 

[God's Clown]

They are funny when said in complete unseriousness. Like when someone says mom jokes aren't funny, and you reply with "Your mom is a joke." It can be pretty good.

 

[Pimppeter2]

If used correctly

@ OP- I did your mom!

 

[Lord George]

I prefer to use the more class. "That would be your mother" jokes, more refined.

 

[jasoncyrus]

It's because in base human emotion and mentality everyone is an immature person.

We only become "Mature" because in the distant past we ended up dead pretty quick if we didn't.

This. It's the tofu of jokes, it can be molded to suit any situation.

Like your mom

OH

Anyone who didn't see that coming deserves to be shanked

 

[A random person]

I always thought they were insulting to the person telling them considering how desperate they would have to be to sleep with said mom.

And the retards who think they're witty tend to spam them. There were a couple of kids at my school who just kept saying "Your mom" over and over in response to everything I said as if it was a witty retort.

 

[UltimatheChosen]

A good example of a "your mom" joke is in Team Fortress 2's "Meet the Spy" video.

 

[Troublesome Lagomorph]

sometimes there kinda funny, but there plainly immature
i dont like them personally, but sometimes there hilarious (although i think "thats what she said" is sometimes funny)
i find them vulgar and insulting; nobody insults my mom like that

People think Tim and Eric are funny. I think it comes from some sort of depraved trauma experienced at a very young age.

Someone can't take a joke. In fact, it's only because some people take them way too seriously that they are funny.

Also, "immature" is the worse criticism of a joke ever, most funny things are 'immature', it's just a name for the ones you don't like.
