“I hate Mother's Day. If anything, it's an affront to all women who think full-time moms have never worked a day in their lives. Which reminds me of a good joke: What do you call an angry feminist on Mother's Day? You don't.” IfsThinkingMotherHateMomJokesI HateAngryFeministMothers DayAffrontFull Time Mom Author:Kimberly Guilfoyle
“I was very shy as a kid but when I found out I could perform and have people's attention everything changed for me. My mom likes to joke that until I was eight or nine I only knew what my sneakers looked like because I constantly walked around with my head down. But all of a sudden the stage made sense and that's what brought me out of my shell and a monster was created.” PeopleMadeKidsFoundAttentionStageChangedMomJokesMy MomEightMonstersNineLikesShyShellsSneakers Author:Justin Timberlake
“I still don't really know what my style is. I like a lot of different kinds of comedy, I like watching it and I like being inventive and original. That's the problem with doing a longer set - you can't do every joke that you have because some stuff contradicts other stuff. Even when you know that the audience knows that you're joking and it's not true, you still can't do a joke about your family dying and then later talk about your Mom. I mean you want to keep some kind of cohesive order going.” KnowsWantKindMeanStillsDifferentProblemOrderStuffAudienceComedyDyingStyleMomJokesOriginalsOur FamilyDifferent KindsYour MomTrue You Author:Bonnie McFarlane
“I was at a photo shoot, and I was wearing a cross necklace that my mom bought me, and somebody made a joke like, 'Why are you wearing a cross? Like you would be religious.' And then they took it away. I was really affected by that. The whole thing made me realize that I do want a cross with me at all times.” WantMadeWholeWould BeRealizingReligiousLike YouMomJokesCrossesMy MomAll TimeAffectedNecklacesPhoto Shoots Author:Kate Upton
“My mom was my English teacher in high school. So to be able to bend the rules and be the class clown and get to take on my religion, my mom, and my town all at the same time was glorious. I think the desire to be funny was a mixture of wanting to be liked but also wanting to throw your elbows a bit. If you're cracking a joke in school, it's sort of anti-authority, but it's in the nicest, "Please like me!" way.” IfsThinkingWayAbleSchoolDesireBitsClassTeacherMomPleaseAuthorityJokesHigh SchoolTownsMy MomLike MeGloriousClownMixturesElbowsEnglish Teacher Author:Paul Rust
