Honey Boo Boo's Mom: Extreme Couponing Is "Better Than Sex"



Fans of Toddlers & Tiaras breakout star Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson are well aware of the tot's penchant for made-up words like "redneckognize" and her love for cheese puffs. On Wednesday's episode of her TLC spinoff, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, the six-year-old reveals another hidden secret: Her mom loves to go extreme couponing!

"It's better than sex!" Alana's mom, June (dubbed "Mama") enthuses as she brings Alana and daughter Lauren, 12, ("Pumpkin"), along for a trip to the local Piggly Wiggly grocery store near their McIntyre, Ga., hometown.


As she peruses the aisles with her daughters checking prices on items including Ramen noodles and mustard, June explains that her knowledge of couponing is entirely self-taught. "I taught myself," she muses. "It doesn't take an id- . . . a rocket scientist to coupon."

if she thinks coupon shopping is better than sex then either she's no good at it or her husband isn't.
luvthatdrtywata 14th-Aug-2012 03:38 am (UTC)
have you seen them? he is one tooth shy of an inbred family picnic and she has more chins than children. good sex is not on their dollar store agenda.
cooconuts 14th-Aug-2012 03:41 am (UTC)
ik ugly ppl can't have good sex

i haven't seen him, but fat people can have great sex bb.

i guess i was going for a comment that wasn't harping on their looks or weight.

i find it kinda sad when people think X is better than sex. Sex shouldn't be the end all be all, but it's important and a helluva lot of fun.
superhetoric 14th-Aug-2012 04:10 am (UTC)
of course she thinks couponing is better than sex. good sex requires physical effort and doesn't involve food. going grocery shopping doesn't require physical effort and does involve food. simple formula.
nicholasdee 14th-Aug-2012 03:25 am (UTC)
that food auction episode blew my mind,

i had no clue things like that existed

and mama is oddly self aware considering her family
dearpencilpal 14th-Aug-2012 03:32 am (UTC)
i think she knows how crazy they are and just doesn't give a crap.
andres01234 14th-Aug-2012 03:32 am (UTC)
it was so.... wrong?
bgwqlc 14th-Aug-2012 03:33 am (UTC)
What is a food auction?
nicholasdee 14th-Aug-2012 03:42 am (UTC)
it is exactly what it sounds like

there auctioning off chips and hostess cakes and shit
lumosofmylife 14th-Aug-2012 03:44 am (UTC)
I think they were auctioning off food that was about to expire so it was cheap.
cooconuts 14th-Aug-2012 03:43 am (UTC)
do they like auction off delicacies??
zulkey 14th-Aug-2012 06:35 pm (UTC)
That's why I like this show. I wouldn't want to be them but I don't pity them.
juel1979 15th-Aug-2012 12:24 am (UTC)
I envy her ability to not care about other people's opinions, or at least convincingly portray that she doesn't. That's gotta be so freeing.
ilikeandrewbird 14th-Aug-2012 03:25 am (UTC)
the vagina/biscuit thing makes me laugh so so much
andres01234 14th-Aug-2012 03:32 am (UTC)
I was dying during that part
chomper_go_rawr 14th-Aug-2012 03:32 am (UTC)

You know in that Princess Diaries II trailer where that stylist makes a sound like a dying moose?

I'm imagining that sound here
andres01234 14th-Aug-2012 03:25 am (UTC)
For her husband, I bet he encourages her to coupon to avoid mounting her
lilgoala 14th-Aug-2012 03:28 am (UTC)
omg
nicholasdee 14th-Aug-2012 03:31 am (UTC)
yeah, cuz he's such a winner
andres01234 14th-Aug-2012 03:33 am (UTC)
poor sugar bear!
but yes, that whole family lost in the genetic lottery
croutonochrist 14th-Aug-2012 04:34 am (UTC)
I haven't seen the show, but I've read he works something like 7 days a week to support them. Which all then goes to pageants and 10 packs of Ramen.

I made the same face as Simon.
luvthatdrtywata 14th-Aug-2012 03:40 am (UTC)
the only thing more interesting than watching here comes honey boo boo would be watching simon amstell watching here comes honey boo boo.
welurklate 14th-Aug-2012 03:42 am (UTC)
it would break him, i think.
bgwqlc 14th-Aug-2012 03:46 am (UTC)
I want this to happen!
mysticmaestoso 14th-Aug-2012 04:06 am (UTC)
If Buzzcocks would have shown clips of TLC's varied shows, I would have died... died at the reactions and the ensuing comments from everyone on the panel.

If he wasn't gay before . . .
chiihiro 14th-Aug-2012 03:57 am (UTC)
Simon is the best.
yousaidlog 14th-Aug-2012 04:29 am (UTC)
omg it's been four weeks since I saw Simon, and I miss it!
sugarcrawler 14th-Aug-2012 03:25 am (UTC)
the way she says coupon bothers me
ik people say it differently but it doesnt sound right
kurtvonnegut 14th-Aug-2012 03:31 am (UTC)
does she say "coo-pon"

cuz we all know it's cue-pawn amirite
sugarcrawler 14th-Aug-2012 03:34 am (UTC)
she says "cue" pon as in the word "cute"
i say coo pon lol
maybe cause shes southern ive never heard someone say cue-pon
loveloveshebang 14th-Aug-2012 03:46 am (UTC)
nah sorry gorl it aint spelled queuepon
vatulele 14th-Aug-2012 03:56 am (UTC)
cue pawn correct.
acharmedlife 14th-Aug-2012 07:11 pm (UTC)
Coo-pon

From the French, "couper" (coo-pay), which means "to cut"

Cause you cut coupons out

Yep.
andres01234 14th-Aug-2012 03:34 am (UTC)
lol I say it just like them... which doesn't make sense since I speak spanish, and in spanish we say "coo-poh-n"
thetxbelle 14th-Aug-2012 03:56 am (UTC)
I used to say "coo pin" to make fun of the word and it became a habit so now that's what I call them. :/
komichi 14th-Aug-2012 05:04 am (UTC)
cue-pawn always bothers me, like it legit makes my skin crawl

needless to say I say it coo-pon
juel1979 15th-Aug-2012 12:26 am (UTC)
She's one of those Q-pon people instead of COO-pon isn't she?

Drives me bugshit. Almost everyone on Extreme Couponers says it wrong to my ears. =P
guadalcanal 14th-Aug-2012 03:27 am (UTC)
I wish I could coupon like a nutcase

but I'm excited when I remember to use a coupon stuck onto something I'm buying
jeterluva 14th-Aug-2012 03:46 am (UTC)

12dozenroses 14th-Aug-2012 06:42 pm (UTC)
ikr, I forget to use even those sometimes :(
secretivexhero 14th-Aug-2012 03:27 am (UTC)
well for u im sure it is because u dont get sex
vehiclesshockme 14th-Aug-2012 03:31 am (UTC)
Actually I bet her and Sugar Bear have really loud sex for some reason.
andres01234 14th-Aug-2012 03:35 am (UTC)
I don't need that image in my head
and if it's loud and noisy is probably because she has trouble breathing
nicholasdee 14th-Aug-2012 03:37 am (UTC)
i think so too

a lot
superhetoric 14th-Aug-2012 04:19 am (UTC)
it's probably very loud but mostly because of the heavy breathing, grunting and groaning associated with moving that amount of weight fast enough to achieve orgasm
brightstarmara 14th-Aug-2012 01:10 pm (UTC)
They will need some sort of scaffolding...
juel1979 15th-Aug-2012 12:29 am (UTC)
It's why they live by the train tracks.

I feel bad thinking that. LOL

My sister and cousins were saying the nastiest things about him the other day when Diving was on. I was sitting there like "guys he's 18!" "GOOD ENOUGH!!" hahah oh god
ichdontthinksoo 14th-Aug-2012 03:27 am (UTC)
Well, the idea that someone would even want to have sex with that woman is just... I can't.

luvthatdrtywata 14th-Aug-2012 03:41 am (UTC)
when that bitch was like "and i hope that works for you" i was hoping pumpkin would just fart in her face and bust out some sort of wrestling move on her prissy ass.
tutuhead 14th-Aug-2012 03:42 am (UTC)
nhf her rude, wannabe angsty preteen self.

colorzplosion 14th-Aug-2012 04:49 am (UTC)
mte. I'm from Louisiana and I still can't understand a word this woman says.
sugary_placenta 14th-Aug-2012 06:34 am (UTC)
is it bad that i don't need the subtitles? i feel like i got redneck ears or something idk
bluekrinkle 14th-Aug-2012 08:42 am (UTC)
I only need subtitles some of the time. It worries me.
lol @ redneck ears.
