Yo Momma -- Upper East Side Version

Ever since Flavor of Love finished, I didn't think I could find another show that could fufill the void in my life for mindless humor. Luckily, one night I came across Wilmer Valderama's show "Yo Momma," and I was made whole again.

"Yo Momma" is simple brilliance at its best. Wilmer and his crew get people in NYC and LA to battle using Yo Momma jokes. The goal is to win the battle, the pride of your 'hood and $1,000 in cash money. (And I love how Wilmer says "cash money.")

The show usually has people battling for Williamsburg or Flatbush or Hollywood, but I wondered what would the Yo Momma jokes be like if Wilmer and his crew took the battles uptown to the Upper East Side, land of wealth, private schools, foreign nannies and bored housewives.

A sample:

You're so poor your summer home is in Newark.

Your mother's so fat she wears a size 6.

Your father's so poor he can only afford one mistress.

Your family's so poor your car service is a pedicab.

You're so unpopular you had to go to Friends Acamedy to get people to like you.

Your family's so poor the Junior League had to have fund raiser for your grocery bills.

Your mother's so stupid she thought a Classic 6 was a pack of beers.
