The review notes: "The most brain-dead show on cable television right now is "Yo Momma" on MTV. The show pits the best "clowners" (MTV's word, not mine) from across Los Angeles, representing their districts, battling each other for the title of best trash-talker in the city. Wilmer Valderrama, the host of the show, speaks in a phony Hispanic accent to show how hard he is. ... Wilmer also has help from several judges who rate the contestants on crucial categories such as delivery, energy and the all important sting(!)."

The book notes: "I have attempted to overcome the problem by drawing modern data from the TV shows Yo Momma, which ran on MTV in 2006–2008, and ... Yo Momma is a reality television game show which features verbal contests of adolescent boys and girls strikingly similar to those described by Labov and other scholars of the dozens. In its advertising campaign, Yo Momma is marketed as real-life verbal battles among lower-class urban kids, conveniently shot on camera in their traditional hang-out locations in New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. The show is brought into an improvised studio in a run-down depot only for the final round. Therefore, producers endow it with almost ethnographic recording-like value."
