Again, I'm not talking about the old school "yo momma" jokes that had a preplanned punchline. I'm talking about simple rebuttals that are more akin to a "that's what she said" type of joke. Someone says something innocuous that you turn around to mean something else.

It's from napoleon dynamite where his brother goes "your mom goes to college" after the girl says she's selling stuff for money for college. Lol

We'd been doing that long before Napoleon Dynamite. That is the most famous usage of the joke style, though. Classic.

People have been playing The Dozens with Yo Mama jokes since the 1930s.

Naopleon Dynamite? Young people.
