7	''Yo Mama'' is an animated series of comedic Platform/YouTube shorts directed and written by Zack James and Alex Negrete. It stars Creator/BrockBaker as Brody Foxx, an ultra-macho male who tells practically every YourMom joke in existence.
8
9	On October 31, 2020, the channel premiered "THE FINAL JOKE" ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KM8adDrtBJs extended cut here]]), a WhamEpisode where ''Yo Mama'' is a ShowWithinAShow. Although [[StatusQuoIsGod only a few videos have followed up on this]], there has been an increase in continuity within the channel's videos since.
10
11	The series also had some SpinOff series. The first is ''In Soviet Russia'', where the format is the same as ''Yo Mama'' but it features a different host telling RussianReversal jokes instead. This series had two seasons. The second is ''Bro Tips'', where Brody Foxx gives life advice.

13	See the channel [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBMvWaA97BAegvJ_Hz6Vwuw here]]. Brody Foxx also features occasionally on the channel [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0RO0RGDWZwRSMg_4AsUuYw Animeme]] (by the same people).
14	----
15	!!''Yo Mama'' provides examples of:
16	* AmbiguouslyBi: Brody; he dreams about Vin Diesel and likes Thicc Daddy's twerking, but also loves the Hot Mama.
17	* AmbiguouslyHuman: Evil Mama seems more like a demon, and Slimy Mama seems more like a SlimeGirl. Hairy Mama also seems less human and more primate. The reason they fall under this trope is that they're supposed to be YourMom. Zach James has confirmed that most of the Mamas are merely [[AnimatedActors actors]], meaning that she's probably one of said actors.
18	* AmericanKirbyIsHardcore[[invoked]]: Brody seems to believe this since he feels that ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' is badass.
19	* BigfootSasquatchAndYeti: Hairy Mama's appearance seems based upon this.
20	%%* TheCameo: Way too many to count.
21	* TheChewToy:
22	** All of the jokes are meant to humiliate the mamas. Possibly subverted with some mamas introduced in the later seasons who have positive defining traits.
23	** Brody is one in most of the "In Soviet Russia..." jokes. Getting chased by a dear, beaten by a dead horse, getting peed by a toilet, just to name a few.
24	* CrowdedCastShot: The intro to some of the newer YO MAMA videos.
25	* CryingARiver: In one joke, the Ugly Mama makes 3 blind kids cry, who end up flooding the room. Combined with OcularGushers.
26	* DiscriminateAndSwitch: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOlUB_W-Sig "Yo Mama so Autistic!"]] initially appears to be a compilation of ableist jokes, [[DudeNotFunny much to the ire of the audience]], but then turns out to be a video about Zack James' personal experiences of being on the autism spectrum and the stigma around it. A SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming, indeed.
27	* EnragedByIdiocy: Some of the "Yo Mama So Stupid" bits end with Brody yelling at the woman for being such an idiot.
28	* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Boris (the host of In Soviet Russia chapter 2) loves his mama (the Russian mama) a lot.
29	* EveryCarIsAPinto: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOmPzbKMFM0&index=23&list=PL7637A2CF63D42345 Slip N' Slide]]''
30	* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: Guess what kind of jokes Brody tells in every short?
31	* {{Gasshole}}: The Fat Mamas often have this, to the point their farts are the cause of ''global warming''.
32	* FridgeBrilliance[[invoked]]: In ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8z0kFyN3n4 Birthday]]'', Brody realizes that he doesn't have to get Fat Mama a present for her birthday if he stands behind her.
33	* GirlOfTheWeek: Brody often has a different girl at his side whenever he's shown with one.
34	%%* HappilyMarried: Frank to Strict Mama.
35	* HandOrObjectUnderwear: When Old Mama visits the GardenOfEden as a kid, we see Adam & Eve, who are nude with Eve covering herself this manner. Or at least her breasts, as SceneryCensor also hides their lower halves. {{Averted}} by Adam.
36	* IdenticalGrandson: The "Get in the car!" cop appears to have one, sans mustache, in [[Film/RoboCop2014 2028]] in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxuUzI3EbPU this video]].
37	* JumpScare: The ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' jokes involve these.
38	* KavorkaMan: The Old Mama is the only one of the mamas to be shown to have had multiple partners and a good chunk of them are pretty good looking men.
39	%%* LargeHam: Brody is a super macho one.
40	* MichaelJacksonsThrillerParody: As seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibRsjd25gx8 here]]
41	* NoodleIncident: Strong Mama's sneezing causes earthquakes every week, according to Brody.
42	* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: The American Mama [[DownplayedTrope isn't actually evil]] and more of a {{Jerkass}}, but she doesn't have a high opinion on Mexicans (banning ''TabletopGame/{{Uno}}'' in her house and building the wall before Donald Trump), black people (calling the cops ''on her shadow'' because it wasn't white), and the French (she sued [=McDonalds=] for selling ''French'' fries). She also spouted numerous [[ClusterBleepBomb bleeped out racial slurs]] immediately after Elon Musk bought Twitter in the name of free speech.
43	* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: Brody doesn't know what the [[PrecisionFStrike f**k]] a ''Franchise/HelloKitty'' is.
44	* PovertyForComedy: Every "yo mama is so poor" joke.
45	%%* RabidCop: "Get in the car!"
46	* Really700YearsOld: Old Mama appears to be this, considering what we know about her (i.e her first Christmas was ''the'' first Christmas).
47	* RealMenWearPink: Brody wears a pink shirt in all his videos and also ''adores'' VideoGame/{{Kirby}}.
48	-->'''Brody:''' I don't care if he's pink, he's frickin' badass!
49	* RunningGag:
50	** A character having something thrown at them from offscreen.
51	** Brody being in love with Vin Diesel and Kirby.
52	** The redhead fat mama eating the short mama and vomiting rainbows.
53	** People turning to stone when they see one of the ugly mamas.
54	* RussianReversal: The IN SOVIET RUSSIA videos.
55	* ScaryTeeth: The Ugly Mamas often sport ghastly-looking teeth.
56	* SelfDeprecation: The video [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNZmW1cQ4J4 YO MAMA is a Terrible Channel]] (originally called "Yo Mama so Ironic!"), which has a compilation of dumb comments on/about their videos, plus multiple previous jokes [[AntiHumor with the punchlines removed]], and other "cringe" moments.
57	* ShoutOut: A few episodes use YourMom jokes from ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'':
58	* ShakingTheRump: The defining trait of Dummy Thicc Daddy. Also done by Big Chungus, Winnie the Pooh, Ronald [=McDonald=] and Pickle Rick in some videos.
59	* StonersAreFunny: The punchline to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di2pSqC3f-o one]] YO MAMA SO STUPID! jokes involves [[spoiler: [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Spongebob]] and Patrick smoking ''[[IncrediblyLamePun sea weed]]''.]]
60	* SuddenlySpeaking: At first all the Mamas were silent, but overtime several have begun to speak during the episodes.
61	* TakeThat: Brody openly mocks several characters that are notably unpopular on the Internet or within their franchises.
62	** He assaults [[Film/{{Twilight}} Jacob and Edward]] and Music/OneDirection.
63	** He accuses [[Film/StarWarsThePhantomMenace Jar Jar Binks]] of ruining ''Franchise/StarWars''.
64	** He claims that Short Mama is a suitable double for ''WebVideo/RayWilliamJohnson'', but funnier.
65	* TakenForGranite: What Ugly Mamas can do with their sheer ugliness, according to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXoxFF6mwrs this video]].
66	* TestosteronePoisoning: Brody has an acute case of this.
67	* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Some of the jokes involve the mamas getting killed. Also taken literally when one of the jokes was animated in South Park style and had Kenny dead by the end of the episode.
68	* TooDumbToLive[[invoked]]: The stupid mommas often have a case of this.
69	* WhenIWasYourAge: The Old Mama (Janice) talks about how a carton of milk and cheeseburger cost a penny in [[https://youtu.be/AZl5l1x_DSA?t=23 the 50 Cent joke.]]
70	--> '''Janice:''' Back in my day, you could buy a carton of milk for a penny! You could also buy a cheeseburger for a penny.
71	* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: It's revealed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2ynkJawZ5M in this episode]] that Short Mama's real name is "Some Hella Shortass Mama".
72	* WhoWritesThisCrap: In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6DLOMibSy0 this episode]], Brody complains about how unrealistic the joke is.
73	* YourBrainWontBeMuchOfAMeal: Apparently, zombies walk right past the Stupid Mama because they don't smell any brains at all.
74	* YourMom: Obviously, the whole point of this series is to do "your mom" jokes.
75	* YourSizeMayVary: The Fat and Short Mamas' sizes seem to depend on what the joke calls for.
