Comedians on Mothers and Motherhood

Mirth in a Box loves mothers and Mothers’ Day! However sometimes this holiday gets a tad too saccharine. Here’s what some of our favorite funny people have to say about mothers:

My mother buried three husbands-and two of them were only napping!  Rita Rudner

I want my children to have all the things I couldn’t afford. Then I want to move in with them. Phyllis Diller

You are not famous until my mother has heard of you. Jay Leno

I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it is such a beautiful animal. There you go. I think my mother is attractive, but I have photographs of her. Ellen DeGeneres

My mom said the only reason men are alive is for lawn care and vehicle maintenance. Tim Allen

When your mother asks, “Do you want a piece of advice?” it is a mere formality. It doesn’t matter if you answer yes or no. You’re going to get it anyway. Erma Bombeck

My mother used to say that there are no strangers, only friends you haven’t met yet. She’s now n a maximum-security twilight home in Australia. Dame Edna Everage
