Why would anyone care? Huh?

I had a good relationship with my parents.

When someone threw a fat mom joke at me, I didn’t care, unless it was a good one and landed hard, in which case I congratulated them on a great quip and applauded it.

Insults like that can be replaced with the words “I am trying to upset you” in the same way any line delivered by Brian Blessed can be replaced with the words “Did someone order a LARGE HAM?” so… no, not really.

I have an ok relationship with my parents. Never been offended about these ”insults”.

I don’t give a shit about such insults.
They just show I’m facing another moron, which I can beat intellectually with hardly any effort.
How about a reply along the lines of, OK I’m sure she enjoyed that, how was it for you to fuck a 60 year old woman?
Or alternatively: Oh were you the impotent one she mentioned? It’s easy to throw back an insult twice as bad.

I was once in a bar in the winter where some local was trying to be harass me because we had signed up for the billiard table.
I was wearing a IMO very cool scarf, and the local walked up to me, feeling my scarf and asking if my mom had made that for me.
And I responded (truthfully) that no, it was not my mom but my sister who had made it.
He had no idea how to respond to that, because I had at once told him that no, I am not a mothers baby, but I do have a nice family. So yes indeed I probably did come from a better family than him.

He was at a complete loss for words, and simply walked away, because he had no response to that.

Insults about family are moronic, some random stranger don’t know your family anyway, so it’s 100% made up and not worth getting offended over. On the other hand it shows an infantile mentality that can be easily manipulated if you keep your cool.

It’s so easy to throw such shit back at them doubly, and they tend to get confused, because they know they were beat with next to no effort.

Yeah saying something like that is irrelevant to me. Like, “So? Hope you had fun”

I don’t care, really.

It is said by people who truly only peaked in high school and think still saying that is the cool thing to do.

Like if my mom died and someone said that, I’d probably be like “oh so you’re into necrophilia? good to know, champ”

Switching gears a little bit, I heard one of the funniest comebacks from my friends son when he was 12.

He was horsing around with his friends and one said “you’re gayyyyy”.

Scotty, without skipping a beat retorted

“Oh so I fuck your father one time and that makes me gay?”

I don’t really care and I have a GOOD relationship with my parents. I’m not really sure how this genre of insult came to be or why people don’t generally find it just kinda funny. It’s weird because unless that person personally knows either of your parents then you know for a fact that whatever they’re saying about them is entirely irrelevant and given the context where this is happening is usually one of animosity anyway, there’s no kind of base level respect that you have for the person who says these things or their opinions so no real reason to care about anything they say.

I think maybe they’re supposed to work on the level of it being a kind of public humiliation thing in the sense that the ‘honour’ of your parents is somehow impugned but since no reasonable person can possibly take what they’re saying seriously that’s really not a major concern and if they truly did have a problem with them I rather think that’s an issue they should take up with my parents because it has nothing to do with me anyway.

the feed page has spoken:

Well those insults are usually not very serious. If they are intended genuinely then no I don’t care if you insult my parents.

Yeah but why the fuck say that

You’re going to get your dad to beat up my dad? For real? Ok, hang on, lemme find a pen ans give you my address. He’ll be mowing the lawn on Sunday afternoon, I’ll see you there! This is going to be great!

(This is a poorly paraphrased rendition of a Bill Hicks sketch, it’s stuck with me since I fist saw it as a kid tho as my parents were also assholes. My dad was built tho and would probably have killed anyone elses dad who was stupid enough to try anything, but the sketch made me laugh, so that’s something.)

Does anyone who aged out of middle school care about that insult?
