My friend in the UK always says the 'mother joke' to me and I never think the joke is funny... He say that this 'mother joke' is not funny to japanese people. I understand the joke but it does not make me laugh. Can somebody explain why 'mother joke' is funny?
The mother joke is funny because its is disrespectful to ones mother, but it is said in good fun, because the person saying the mother jokes doesn't actually wish harm/butt fuckings/ rape to one's mother; that would just be mean.
They stopped being funny in 6th grade.
Insult to a persons mother is with spite to them, not for laugh.

Not here in the US (or UK I guess). We make fun of each other and their loved ones (wifes, mothers, dads, girlfriends, etc.), for a good laugh. Actually they aren't really that funny, and no one really takes them seriously.
'Weird'...
yo mama so fat she sat on a rainbow and made skittles
This guy is obviously a troll
it's funnier when you don't know if your friend's mother is dead or not
"yr mom goes to college"
"My mother died 3 months ago."

i would be very disappointed if he was :(
we don't have mother jokes where i was born. we say 'fuck your mother' and everyone knows what it means. there is no ambiguity, and certainly no laughs.

'your mother is so fat every time she backs up all you hear is 'beep beep beep''
'my mom is dead...'
'probably because she was so fat'
