Yo mama jokes.

*News Flash* Humor causes us to laugh or smile.

Whenever the right string of playful words enters your ears (or eyes) for your brain to decipher, it creates a visual and triggers an emotion that erupts with surprise. Your physical reaction becomes a laugh. Our laughs are unique and can actually be measured, studied and categorized.

The chuckle is a soft, suppressed laugh that happens when you find something funny but not over the top funny. In this case, maybe you laughed because it came across as silly or corny.

The Giggle is the result of being tickled or childish banter because your friend called you a buttface. An obvious juvenile joke, the kind that kids can't wait for the opportunity to share.

The Knee slapper is a laugh so full of energy that you have to displace some of that energy elsewhere to prevent... well, I'm not sure what it prevents. I just know that you have to take it out on something, why not your knee.

The Belly laugh is a full-on laugh. You never saw it coming and now you have to accept what's happening to you and get it all out with a quick uproar that comes from deep within the belly.

Cachinnation. Like it's cousin, the belly laugh, this one is loud and raucous. It can take your strength away and linger to the point of exhaustion, which can result in your eyes springing a leak. And you said you never cry in front of your friends.

What causes you to laugh?

The explanation is pretty complex for something as simple as a laugh. First, your personality is a factor. The way you process thoughts can enhance or hinder the likelihood of laughing. Your mood is a factor. If someone tries to make you laugh because they feel you need some uplifting, it doesn't always work. You may be too distracted with your own down-in-the-dumps thought pattern and have trouble turning that switch off.

In general, we are more likely to laugh at something in group situations because of its infectious qualities. Social laughter is the best kind as it allows the strengthening of bonds between family members and friends. We learn how to laugh even before we learn how to speak.

Most jokes are plain as day and either make you laugh or not. Some of us are easily amused and laugh at almost anything. Cerebral jokes can take a few seconds to process. These jokes require more effort for some of us to figure out. You may even need assistance and ask someone else who was listening. It usually ends up with you saying “ok, now I get it, 😹."

Then there is dark humor or a morbid sense of humor. These jokes cause us to laugh at things that most people wouldn’t. For example, laughing at another's mishap before finding out if they are okay and don't require medical attention. Some of these instances are televised in compilation shows which somehow makes it okay to laugh at the man who just fell off his roof or the dog who just playfully ripped off a woman’s dress. I'm sure the victims didn't find it funny, but we sure did.

Psychologists have defined dark humor as- "treating awful subjects like death, disease, deformity, handicaps or warfare with bitter amusement and presenting these tragic, distressing and morbid topics in amusing terms." Comedians are guilty of this and infuse dark humor in a way that makes us laugh regardless of how we really feel about the subject. Good for them for being so clever. And shame on them for being so clever.

Some of us cackle, some of us snort, some of us howl when we laugh. Laughs come in all types of frequencies and intensities. The moral of the story is: Laughing feels good. It also has health benefits. Supposedly, you can live longer if you laugh often. Some studies have determined that laughter can lower blood sugar levels (great news for diabetics). We know for sure that it releases dopamine and endorphins which gives us a sense of pleasure and can boost memory by changing brainwave activity. So there's that....

With all of that said, Yo mama jokes are considered a classic and sarcastic type of joke. I'm not sure how mammas became the target. I just know that someone had to be the subject for these zany, ridiculous and corny one-liners that can knock you out your chair... “Yo cousin” jokes or “Yo uncle” jokes don't have the same feel or power to them... Which means it's time for the main event. Yo mama Jokes. Some of which were toned down to be less offensive. I still apologize in advance; mothers are the reason for us being able to laugh. So, hats off to them. I love my momma, but she can be one silly cookie. Just kidding, she's as smart as a bag of rocks...Still kidding. My mother created an awesome family that enjoys each other... most of the time that is. Love you mom!!! Here goes...
