Actually, the joke about his mother may not be anachronistic. Yo mama jokes have appeared as early as Shakespeare's time, seen in this quote from Titus Andronicus (sorry for the poor form on the quote, my computer is being rather rude tonight), Demetrius. Villain, what hast thou done? Aaron. That which thou canst not undo. Chiron. Thou hast undone our mother. Aaron. Villain, I have done thy mother. (4.2.1765)
