Season 3 Synopsis
In this run of Yo Momma, the trash-talking heads to the Dirty South for a no-holds barred comedy competition that pits the funniest amateur trash-talkers against one another.
In each episode of Yo Momma, Wilmer Valderrama searches different neighbourhoods in Atlanta to find the most original and skilled clowners.
After street-corner style comedy rumbles in each 'hood, Wilmer takes the local champion to his rival opponent's crib to gather comedy ammunition for the final battle.
Armed with personal information from the home invasion, the two finalists go head-to-head in the final trash-talking battle; each joking for respect, bragging rights, cash money, and an opportunity to move on in the tournament to represent the best trash talker of the week and eventually a chance to perhaps be crowned the "Best of Atlanta" in a special episode that features the only four remaining undefeated jokers in the city.
Format
Round One
Destiny and Jason comb the names of one area and take two groups of free-form trash-talkers through their paces.
Round Two
Two finalists from each group go head-to-head to determine who will represent in the last round.
The winners each go with Wilmer on a reconnaissance mission to the other's home to meet family, raid closets, peep old photos and load up on "ammunition" for a very personal finale.
Round Three
The finalists, posses in tow, face off in a round robin at a battleground in neutral territory. Wilmer officiates with Destiny and Jason on hand to help determine the winner.
At the end of the week, Yo Momma pits the daily winners off in a Best of the Best battle to claim the title of Best.
At the end of the tournament, the borough champions will face off to snap, crack, burn, rip and rank their way to the glory that can only come from being crowned.
