'Here Comes Honey Boo Boo's' Mama June Afraid of Mayonnaise

The holidays have come in gone, but not for Honey Boo Boo!

TLC kicks off its Here Come Honey Boo Boo "Holladay" specials Sunday, Jan. 6 with a Halloween episode.

For Halloween this year, the kids decide to try to cure June "Mama" Shannon of her greatest fear -- mayonnaise!


"I can't stand mayonnaise," Mama says, though she admits she will eat potato salad or a tuna salad sandwich if someone else makes it and she can't see it. "The reason why is because when I was growing up, the babysitter I had, we ate mayonnaise sandwiches for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack . . . I can't talk about it. It is making my flesh crawl."


"I think it's stupid that you're scared of of mayonnaise, Mama," daughter Jessica "Chubbs" Shannon says. "I mean seriously, it's mayonnaise. It's white, and it's mayonnaise. C'mon. That's like ketchup, but it's just white."

"I don't see you eating it," Mama snaps back.

"Because I'm a vegetarian," Chubbs responds.


Emptying tubs of mayonnaise into a bowl, Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson forces Mama to face her fear.

I'm really looking forward to this coming back I'm not even going to lie. What are your irrational fears, ONTD? I'm afraid of tall people. :-X

touching/washing out things that have milk skin on it. like after milk has been boiled etc. i just cannot.

being on the edge of something high. like a bridge etc. idc about heights, it's the almost falling thing.

wearing dangly earring because i feel like it'll catch on something and rip out of my ear.

milk skin is the worst. I hate when food aggregates, like rice or something. but lol @ certain vans
violet_crumble9 4th-Jan-2013 09:53 am (UTC)
it was after i watched the collector, lol. um, where did the van part go? i just changed my icon, not the text.
ikemendes 4th-Jan-2013 10:15 am (UTC)
omg yes!
Milk skin activates my gag reflex
jei_corsair 4th-Jan-2013 07:00 pm (UTC)
Totally feel for you on the almost falling thing. I'm fine with heights, but ask me to look over an edge or go bungee jumping? No way. I get really bad vertigo even just looking over edges at multi-floor department stores.
rawr_santi 4th-Jan-2013 09:44 am (UTC)
trypophobia/holes ugh that makes me squeamish and i want to gag and it's just so uncomfortable no ty

also chucky/child's play scares the shit out of me because i saw them when i was really little and then my siblings/cousins used to torture me with a doll i had that kinda looked like it. or when we'd go to a store and they had them they'd take me to see them or the movie case idk. i'll be 20 exactly a month from now and seeing the doll can still bring me to tears sometimes.
isthisdesire 4th-Jan-2013 12:53 pm (UTC)
ugh My sister traumatized me about dolls when I was 4 or 5 and my mom would still buy me dolls all the freaking time. I used to take them, put them in the back of the bottom drawer of the dresser at night and then put something heavy in front of it so that the drawer wouldn't open lol

I'm afraid of sharks in the swimming pool and people being cunts on the internet.
rolt_me 4th-Jan-2013 09:46 am (UTC)
I don't think I'm afraid of insects or animals really. I used to play with spiders and ladybugs as a kid. I have a weird fear of being strangled or choked by my clothing around my neck. I hate wearing ties. I hate restrictive, tight fitting clothing in general tho.
narco_chan 4th-Jan-2013 09:47 am (UTC)
i google image searched clusters of holes. in person i am fine with it but pictures.. I HAD NO CLUE THIS WAS A LEGITIMATE THING

*googles*

wow yeah that is freaky!
fancypiink 4th-Jan-2013 09:47 am (UTC)
i guess i'm not deathly afraid of the following but i really, really dislike them and just thinking about them gives me the chills: the sound and feel of a metal spoon against teeth, and any sort of bug/insect (but then again i can't kill them, so).
isthisdesire 4th-Jan-2013 12:54 pm (UTC)
ugh I get shivers of disgust whenever I accidently tap/bang a spoon or something against my teeth
fancypiink 4th-Jan-2013 07:31 pm (UTC)
omg i'm glad i'm not alone. people always make fun of me for it and threaten to do it.
violue 4th-Jan-2013 09:48 am (UTC)
Starfish freak me the fuck out. I'm not SCARED of them, because well they're just starfish.. but yeah they're fucking disgusting.

Like I used to think of them as just dried out and in a perfect pointed star. Whenever I saw one in school for show-and-tell or whatever they were like that, you know? But then one time I was at the coast with some friends and I was walking around the beach and there were live starfish washed up EVERYWHERE and they were just so like... plump and wet and fucking disgusting and everywhere I looked there were more and I'm like 'FUCK OH MY GOD THEY'RE SO DISGUSTING' and just ugh I hate them.
vehiclesshockme 4th-Jan-2013 09:49 am (UTC)
So how do you feel when people put starfish over their naked crotch then?
violue 4th-Jan-2013 09:50 am (UTC)
THAT JUST MAKES ME RESENT THOSE HORRID THINGS EVEN MORE OBVS
haverchuck_bill 4th-Jan-2013 05:24 pm (UTC)
but why?
superchocobear 4th-Jan-2013 02:12 pm (UTC)
Haha yes, I still remember the day I realised starfish were not cute in any way when I saw a fat mutant-looking one with like 8 legs in the water where I had dipped my feet in and it was actually MOVING ugh. I'm not super mortified of them, but they are pretty fucking gross.

I have a strong aversion to the phone ringing/someone knocking on the door, but that's social anxiety related.

I'm afraid of looking out the window and seeing someone staring back at me.
ashtraysoul 4th-Jan-2013 10:00 am (UTC)
I have both of these, but I counted them as rational fears lol
violue 4th-Jan-2013 10:22 am (UTC)
sometimes they feel irrational because of how they developed/snowballed for me
bluepassiflora 4th-Jan-2013 10:21 am (UTC)
I'm afraid of looking out the window at night and having the Twilight Zone demon on the wing or bigfoot staring back at me.
porifera_robert 4th-Jan-2013 10:28 am (UTC)
oh god same, i avoid answering the phone even if it's my friends calling
veggie 4th-Jan-2013 10:35 am (UTC)
omg the second one. one time my mom and i were watching game of thrones, and my mom's chair was faced kind of toward the back door. all of a sudden she screamed, "oh my god!" and sort of gestured/pointed at the door, and there was this dude from verizon like TRYING TO COME INTO MY HOUSE FROM THE BACK DOOR WTF

and she went and was "what the fuck are you doing?" and he was all, "oh, i rang the bell and no one answered..." SO YOU JUST COME THROUGH OUR GATED BACKYARD AND TRY TO HOP IN THE BACKDOOR WTF

also my parents like to go out of town and have my house-sit for them and not tell me that people are coming to work on their yard, so i'll come out and there will just be like three dudes chilling in the backyard and it terrifies me every time UGH

i just hate when there are people where there should not be people like strangers are terrifying to me when i expect to see strangers (at school, going shopping, etc). but to not be prepared and turn around and have them in the yard is like the most horrifying thing of all time fuck

I refuse to live in houses with big picture windows because I'm afraid of looking out and someone looking back. I also don't like houses with lots of windows for the same reason.
isthisdesire 4th-Jan-2013 12:56 pm (UTC)
My bedroom has a floorlength window that faces the front of the house and sometimes at night, the lighting makes it looks like something is in front of my window. I used to freak out but it was just this stupid plant my parents decided to put near my window :/
hearxmexrawr 4th-Jan-2013 05:22 pm (UTC)
The window one is a perfectly valid fear. I always used to tell my fiance at night that I could see shadows walking by our window and he was like "you're just being paranoid/it's trees/etc" but no, it was actually people. It's scary every time to look out the window and there's just a dude standing there looking at us like "wat". It's happened to us 4 or 5 times since then. (They all probably were going to break in)
haverchuck_bill 4th-Jan-2013 05:24 pm (UTC)
That second one is so me. I try to close all my curtains in my house before dark because I'm scared of someone being out there watching me. Though I guess all I'm doing is making it so I can't see them either.
jei_corsair 4th-Jan-2013 07:03 pm (UTC)
Yeah, it's gotten way better for me since I've had to deal with it as part of my job for five years, but I still get some anxiety when I have to make outgoing calls. Incoming calls are only a problem for me if it's a known obnoxious customer.
mcpofife 4th-Jan-2013 09:51 am (UTC)
dolls, clowns, little people or people that are super tall (unless I know them, then I'm not scared anymore), armadillos, I love oceans and lakes but I can't walk barefoot in them, cockroaches, cluster holes, drains ... off the top of my head. all pretty common, I think.

I also get scared that there will be sharks when I'm in swimming pools, that's really irrational.

but I would say I have a healthy grasp on my irrational fears. I know they're irrational and I don't let them get in the way of my life.
sanditar 4th-Jan-2013 09:51 am (UTC)
I was on my car with a bunch of friends and one of them is afraid of clowns and we stopped at a red light and there's always people asking for money or selling stuff and we're all talking so we heard something by my friend's side and turn and my friend made the weirdest noise and just got white as a sheet and I just told the guy really quick no thanks and omg it was funny/scary at the same time, I thought my friend was going to pass out.
colorzplosion 4th-Jan-2013 09:51 am (UTC)
when I was younger, I used to be afraid of amputations. Looking at someone who had had an amputation made me dizzy & lightheaded. I'd have so much anxiety that I'd rip up my fingers by picking at them. It was like I couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to have that part of my body gone and it'd freak me out. It was kinda awful because my mom's friend is an amputee and I didn't want to make her feel like shit, but I couldn't be around her. I grew out of that one by age 13, thank god. I've never met someone who had that same fear. idk if it has a name.
ar_feiniel_ 4th-Jan-2013 01:41 pm (UTC)
apotemnophobia
colorzplosion 4th-Jan-2013 03:12 pm (UTC)
ah ty!
celtic_thistle 4th-Jan-2013 07:29 pm (UTC)
I feel kind of the same--I'm more afraid of myself losing body parts than of amputees themselves. I am TERRIFIED of decapitation/beheading of any sort.
induced_panic 4th-Jan-2013 09:52 am (UTC)
ugh I am weirdly nauseous right now and all this talk of mayo is making it worseeeee.
beetlebums 4th-Jan-2013 09:53 am (UTC)
I have an odd fear of heights only when things are shakey and i could get hurt and die
haverchuck_bill 4th-Jan-2013 05:28 pm (UTC)
I do too! There is this really awful on that we cross on our way to Destin (Florida) - worst bridge ever.

Someone else has to drive over it and I close my eyes the whole time. It's terrifying.
dreamerbri 5th-Jan-2013 06:38 am (UTC)
i'd be afraid of driving on that one too!
dreamerbri 5th-Jan-2013 06:38 am (UTC)
me too.

Oh and there's this big ol river like out my backdoor and down a deep slope. It's huge and fast and loud people go rafting in it during the summer.

So anyway I have this fear that I'll look out in the river and see someone drowning/being swept away. I wouldn't be able to go rescue them because I'm afraid of deep water and can't even swim, and like how do you even report that to 911??

So some days I'll start thinking about that scenario and get so scared that I'll see something that I can't look out the window at all.
maria1221 4th-Jan-2013 10:04 am (UTC)
Non swimmer here, who loves the water, but lives by a beach....

I fear drowning so when people laugh at me for not going more then waist deep, I do a lot of side eyeing, from afar.
