They’re not [curing Ebola,](http://time.com/time-person-of-the-year-ebola-fighters/) but they’re doing something that promotes mental health: teaching moms how to talk to their adult daughters without being passive-aggressive. This hilarious spoof of a Doctors Without Borders PSA tells adult women not to worry, because help is on the way. Soon, the world will be free of veiled hostility and judgment of your life choices. The video contains some NSFW language, but you can watch it [here. ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIOyTqbxAqo) Made by the group COMICS4MSF, the YouTube description says it was screened at a Doctors Without Borders fundraiser, even though the comedians are not affiliated with the organization. It features Jena Friedman, who’s also a field producer for _The Daily Show._ _(Visit the_ [_Doctors Without Borders site_](https://donate.doctorswithoutborders.org/monthly.cfm?source=AZD140001D51&utm%5Fsource=google&utm%5Fmedium=ppc&gclid=Cj0KEQiA8MSkBRCP5LaRlcOAusMBEiQAiqldkqC4CbCisUk8KBH%5FfVbgp1CueIPayVKKd8KOfuE0DrUaAvlQ8P8HAQ) _to learn more about their life-saving work around the world.)_ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3637740/doctors-without-borders-parody-mothers-without-boundaries/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3637740/doctors-without-borders-parody-mothers-without-boundaries/"},"headline":"Watch a 'Doctors Without Borders' Parody That's All About Your Mom","datePublished":"2014-12-17T17:22:58.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-13T21:30:34.000Z","description":"Help is on the way","url":"https://time.com/3637740/doctors-without-borders-parody-mothers-without-boundaries/","keywords":["Living","Newsfeed","Parenting","Comedy","doctors without borders","Humor","MSF"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Charlotte Alter","jobTitle":"Senior Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/charlotte-alter/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-living/","name":"Living"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3637740/doctors-without-borders-parody-mothers-without-boundaries/","name":"Watch a 'Doctors Without Borders' Parody That's All About Your Mom"}}]}] ```
