'''''Yo Momma''''' is an American television show based upon [["Yo mama" joke|jokes insulting one's mother]]. Creators, executive producers and hosts are [[Wilmer Valderrama]], along with [[Sam Sarpong]] (Seasons 1 and 2), Jason Everhart and [[Destiny Lightsy]]. The show was produced from April 2006 to December 2007, and, as the title suggests, used "yo momma" jokes; many episodes featured guest appearances from rappers. ''Yo Momma'' was parodied in the 2008 spoof movie ''[[Meet the Spartans]]'' in a brief scene where the Spartans engage in a battle of "yo momma" jokes with a crowd of people dressed in a manner that are similar to the show's contestants.
 
Season 1 was in [[Los Angeles]], season 2 was in [[New York City]], and season 3 was in [[Atlanta]].
 
==The Yo Momma Online Network==
In conjunction with ''Yo Momma'', MTV launched [http://yomomma.tv YoMomma.tv], a [[Web 2.0]] community dedicated to increasing viewer engagement with the program and heavily promoted during ''Yo Momma'' episodes. Site users construct a profile and upload their own yo momma jokes (or "disses"), and attempt to boost their rankings on the site by challenging other users to "Battles", exchanges of uploaded disses between two users. The user community votes on both disses and Battles.
 
A corollary feature is "Let's Bully", which allows users to send insults over e-mail using an avatar of the user's face superimposed over modifiable clip art. The Let's Bully feature was the subject of an article in Adweek Magazine.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.adweek.com/aw/magazine/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003621458|title=Adweek|work=adweek.com|access-date=17 February 2017}}</ref>
