''Precious Plum'' is a series of videos by Website/CollegeHumor. It is an exaggerated parody of ''Series/HereComesHoneyBooBoo'', and focuses on the escapades of Mama and Plum Miller, who often get themselves into life-threatening situations, which are [[PlayedForLaughs played for laughs]]. While the series started as a direct parody, it started to have more fun with its own characters and took the stories in their own direction.

** In "A Car House", Plum and Mama are shown watching ''Film/{{Blade}}'' on multiple occasions. They seem to be big fans of the series, as in ''See Plum Run'', Mama and Plum, upon seeing their housemate (a college student that Mama mistakes for a ghost) has thrown a party, dress up like Blade (complete with swords) in order to fight this "infestation".

* {{Malaproper}}: Mama,befitting her evident lack of education and common sense.

%% * BigOMG: Said by Mama several times.

* AbusiveParents: Plum and Mama have a clearly dysfunctional relationship, and Mama does some terrible things to her, even seeing little concern in her daughter getting lost and giving her a note for her finder to keep here. All the same, Mama isn't portrayed as malicious to Plum in any way and is mostly dangerous due to her stupidity.

* YouMonster: Mama gets Plum disqualified from a competition because she's "a monster" once Plum's upside-down routine thought a car sunroof leads to some dialogue that has Mama get MistakenForPedophile.

%% * UnusualDysphemism: Displayed by Mama, and occasionally, Plum.

* AbusiveParents: Plum and Mama have a clearly dysfunctional relationship, and Mama does some terrible things to her. All of these are mostly accidents, though, and Mama does try to help and seems to genuinely love Plum in her own way. However, she apparently tries to get rid of her, as when Plum gets lost, the note she's given (and told to give to an adult) reads "keep it?"

* BatOutOfHell: Plum's pet bat named Dog, which flies around and bites her.

* ComedicSociopathy: An offscreen example with the film crew. They never intervene and don't seem to care what happens to Plum and Mama. This is lampshaded in two episodes.
* CordonBleughChef: At one point, Mama serves Plum a drink made of Monster energy drink, frappucino, and Dayquil. It's so nasty that Plum throws it up after drinking it.

* CrazyPrepared: Mama ''thinks'' she's this in regards to tornadoes, but her provisions are a mountain of band-aids, a shelf of milk she's been collecting for months, and a cannon.

* DisproportionateRetribution: A pawn shop employee didn't "put [[UnusualEuphemism Mama in his eat pile]]," so she foisted a six-figure medical bill onto him.

* EdibleThemeNaming: According to "See Plum Run", Plum's mother's name is Blueberry- both being names of fruits.

* HitchhikersLeg: In "Hitchhiking", Plum [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior pulls up her skirt]] to attract a ride. Apparently, she learned this from her mother.
* JustHereForTheFreeSnacks: In one episode, Mama goes through a blood drive multiple times just so she can get more of the free cookies they hand out.
* TheKeyIsBehindTheLock: Mama and Plum get locked out of their car once Plum's pet bat causes them to hurriedly get out. Plum gets stuck upside-down in the sunroof while trying to grab the keys.

** In ''See Plum Run'', she serves a drink called "Mama's Moonshine" to party guests, which is made from tequila, nail polish, taco seasoning, contact lens solution, anti-anxiety medication, a Reese's McFlurry, orange soda, expired milk, and the secret ingredient- herself (i.e. she bathes in the liquid before she bottles it up and serves it).

* ChekovsGift: The grenade Boof gives to Plum in "A Gator Fight". She later uses it when she has to fight a gator, which causes the gator to explode and Plum to win the fight.

** In "A Car House", Plum and Mama are shown watching ''Film/{{Blade}}'' on multiple occasions. They seem to be big fans of the series, as in ''See Plum Run'', Mama, upon seeing her housemate (a college student that she mistakes for a ghost) has thrown a party, dresses her and Plum up in leather jackets, grabs some katanas, and prepares to fight the "ghosts". Plum says she's scared, but Mama says "Did or did not Blade take out a whole night club full of vampires with nothin' but a leather jacket and a couple of good swords?"

* ShoutOut: There's a dual reference to ''Franchise/StarWars'' when Mama finds the "good sword". At first, she says she feels like "Darf Vader" and pretends it's a lightsaber, but, more specifically, it leads to the [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack parent cutting off their child's hand]].

** A tow worker implies that in his experience, towed cars have been taken in with people in them, getting crushed in a compactor while still occupied, in response to seeing Plum in the same predidament.

->'''Mama''': He didn't eat my pussy, so he can suck my dick.
* GrossoutShow: The humor is entirely crass and vulgar, so gross-out humor is a big part of the comedy.
* TheKeyIsBehindTheLock: Mama and Plum get locked out of their car once Plum's pet bat causes them to hurriedly get out.
* {{Malaproper}}: Mama.

* NoNameGiven: Mama's name is never stated in the original series, but ''See Plum Run'' mentions that her name is Blueberry, and that she and Plum have the last name Miller.

** Apparently, people have been crushed in cars before, but the worker doesn't mention more.
* NWordPrivileges: Parodied in "A Biker Shop". Mama mistakes "Nigeria" and "Brown" as offensive, claiming that they're "''their'' word".
* PedoHunt: All of the pageants are explicitly pedophilic in nature, to reflect the uncomfortable overtones of real-world pageants. For instance, only the names of the competitions are disturbing: Little Miss Tiny Tits, Little Miss Skittle Nips, Little Miss Missing Pubes, Miss Tallahassee Tiny Hussy, Ohio Ho, KILF, or Little Miss Six to Eight Means Twenty to Life.

* ShoutOut: There's a dual reference to ''Franchise/StarWars'' when Mama finds the Good Sword. At first, she says she feels like "Darf Vader" and pretends it's a lightsaber, but it leads to the [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack parent cutting of their child's hand]].

* TooDumbToLive: Mama is a total idiot who gets herself and her daughter in serious situations, and it's a wonder they are still alive. They do get themselves in very serious situations. For example, Mama cuts off Plum's hand with a "good sword", they go for a swim in a lake filled with toxic waste, Mama hits a hospital wall in a car, sends Plum to fight a gator, tries to pull out Plum's loose tooth with a car, and so on.
