This is basically like the silly comedy version of 1 x 1/2, which oddly makes the subject matter feel less fucked-up in some ways and more so in others. Although, another part of that is that there's also a very different dynamic here. Ayako clearly reciprocates Asuka's attraction but is in denial about it, (which the "Mother x Mother" page of this pretty much directly points out), while Sayaka doesn't seem to have any inclination to reciprocate her daughter's advances at all. Meanwhile, Asuka's a sensitive, introspective type, and Yuuki... has the personality of a hentai protagonist, basically.
On a side note, Taiyaki's really good at little one-panel gags like the depiction of the father. Reminds me of that bit in 1 x 1/2 with Asuka imagining the surgeons as football helmet-wearing troglodytes.
