Row 1 — YO MAMA SO UGLY:

- Doctor: "I referred her friends to an optometrist."
Row 2 — YO MAMA SO STUPID:
- Scientist: "She thought blackbody radiation referred to the Out of Africa theory."
- Economist: "She thought 'externalities' were when you get more nalities."
- Doctor: "She thought mastalgia was when you reminisce about boobs."
Row 3 — YO MAMA SO FAT:
- Scientist: "If she moved past a black hole at high velocity, it'd create a closed timelike curve."
- Economist: "When she sits around the house, it undergoes higher than average activity depreciation."
- Doctor: "She has only a 30% chance of surviving the bypass surgery. I'm so sorry."
Votey:
Two people at a desk. One is seated and writing/drawing. A woman leans in behind him.
Woman (speech bubble): "It's high brow because it's a graph!"

A comic titled "Yo Mama Jokes, Indexed by Professional Employment," laid out as a 3x3 grid. The columns are professions (Scientist, Economist, Doctor) and the rows are insult types (Yo Mama So Ugly, So Stupid, So Fat), so each cell is a profession-flavored yo-mama joke. Examples: under Ugly/Scientist, "Fluorine wouldn't bond with her"; under Stupid/Economist, "She thought 'externalities' were when you get more nalities"; under Fat/Doctor, "She has only a 30% chance of surviving the bypass surgery. I'm so sorry." The joke is mapping a crude format onto highbrow professional vocabulary. The votey (bonus panel) shows a woman leaning over a seated man who is drawing the comic; she says, "It's high brow because it's a graph!" — punning on the comic being presented as a chart/graph.
