Here Comes Honey Boo Boo is a
Reality Show program on
TLC which features pageant participant Alana Thompson (Honey Boo Boo), along with her mother June Shannon, father Mike Thompson and her three older sisters. The show is mostly filmed in and around the family's hometown in rural McIntyre, Georgia. It is a
spinoff of
Toddlers And Tiaras.
Tropes:
- Big Fun: How Shannon and Alana see themselves.
- Camp Gay: Uncle Poodle.
- Cheerful Child: Alana's usually upbeat about everything.
- Deep South
- Everything's Messier With Pigs: Glitzy
- Fat Slob: June.
- Face Palm: Mike a few times.
- A Fool and His New Money Are Soon Parted: Defied. You'd think a family that suddenly became rich due to the reality show they're on would spend that money like there's no tomorrow. Surprisingly, June (the mother) splits the $20K paycheck per-episode among her four daughters, the money of which is place in a trust fund that none of the daughters can touch until they're 21 years old, unless it's to pay for school.
- No Sympathy: Alana's sisters show no sympathy for Alana after she's forced to give up her pet, Glizty. In fact, they casually state that they're glad the pig is gone.
- Only Sane Man: Sugar Bear.
- Mike has his moments too. See Face Palm above.
- Out of Focus: Chickadee, when she was put under bed rest because she almost went into early labor.
- Point-and-Laugh Show
- Spoiled Sweet: Though Alana may get sassy at times, but that's to be expected from someone her age.
- Supporting Protagonist: The series is more about Alana's mom than her.
- Teen Pregnancy: resulting in a three-thumbed baby.
- Toilet Humor
- Trademark Favorite Food: Mountain Dew and Red Bull ("Go-Go Juice")
- Wicked Stepfather: Averted - even though he's only the biological father of Alana, he cares for all the girls as his own daughters. In return, the other girls love him very much.
- We Hardly Knew Ye: Glitzy. Became Alana's pet in episode 2, only to be given up in episode 5.
