Your Mother Is a Logical Fallacy

MY FRIEND WAS DOING CLASSWORK AND GOT THIS QUESTION????? great argument! however, your mother. What fallacy is this? False Generalization Ad Populum Motivated Reasoning Ad Hominem

A screenshot shows Megamind responding to an argument with “however, your mother,” followed by a multiple-choice question asking which logical fallacy it represents. The joke is that the childish insult is treated like serious classwork, with “Ad Hominem” as the punchline. It is shared as a reaction to a weak argument or an irrelevant personal attack.
