The sad thing is that kids don't need "go-go juice". They have energy to run and jump and play. But the fact that she needed it shows how poor and nutrition deprived her diet was, and that she was so sluggish and fatigued is terrible for anyone but ESPECIALLY a child. Really sad, as I think we all know now.
What’s better than caffeine is music. If you had kids who always jumps, runs and plays when it’s daytime. Play some clean pop music or children’s music to help them get up and move around. Which is good exercise. Never feed them caffeine! Feed them with music.
Actually Caffeine is great for many kids with ADHD I remember the caffeine buzz would mellow me out. The reason being many kids with ADHD are not hyper because they are they have to much energy but because they lack chemical stimulation in their brain and thus are running around like a crack head looking for anything entertaining/stimulating that can act as a fix. This is why hyper fixation is a thing you basically gave what is a person going through withdrawal a fix. I was on Ritalin then Adderall until I had the self control required to go without it by the time I started middle school.
@@happyjohn354 in children, caffeine can raise blood pressure and interfere with sleep. It can make children less aware of being tired. It can affect their moods and make anxiety worse. They can even suffer headaches from caffeine withdrawal. Remember we are talking about kids who have barely developed immune systems
On the topic of how reality tv can ruin a persons life, let's talk about Alana. She's talked about how she's struggled to make friends because everyone who wanted to be her friend just wanted bragging rights. They also come for her because they think she's rich, when that's further from the truth. And because of the drama in the show, and in her real life, she's retired the Honey Boo Boo name. She's said that her and Mama June's relationship has been kind of broken. She really wants it to get better, but she doesn't know how time and effort it will take. Idk what going to happen to Alana in the future, all i hope is that she's ok because she's clearly going through a lot.
@@annieapple8974 So its pretty clear the parents are the true monsters in this story, and they shouldnt have the luxury of having a kid There's people that are desperate for kids - and yet these a-holes got more lucky
I know it’s hard to believe, but TLC USED to have educational programing. This was a long long time ago though. Back before sensational programming took priority. It makes me sad since educational shows can actually be really interesting; you just have to use a good premise.
How Alana still has teeth shocks me, there’s actually a condition called Mountain Dew Mouth that a lot of poor kids have sadly here in Appalachia where they’re missing half their teeth from drinking Mountain Dew
@@Silver_wind_1987_ My younger daughter actually performed a science experiment for her class showing how much damage soda can do to your teeth when she was in elementary school! She used eggshells that were soaked in Coke, Diet Coke, ginger ale, and water to mimic the effects of soda on teeth (I know, eggshells aren’t teeth, but they were a reasonable substitute and easily obtained!), and the results were quite clear! We didn’t think to soak any in Mountain Dew or energy drinks, but it’s easy to see how she could revamp and expand on this for her classmates now-she’s in high school now, and so many of her classmates practically mainline this crap on top of vaping like there’s no tomorrow. Frankly, they need a serious wake-up call!
@@dragondancer1814 I like gingerale but that's basically it. I like ice tea...as a treat once in a while. Coke can clean rust off metal....its insane. And that sounds awesome.
I think it's because she still had access to running water. In Appalachia Mountain Dew is cheaper and safer than water and they're forced to rely on it.
@@Silver_wind_1987_ Coke is also used to clean crud off of car battery leads too. And yeah, I encouraged that project-in fact, hearing about the car-battery trick and how bad soda is for our health got her wondering what it does to our teeth too.

It gets worse. Mama June lost custody of Alana due to her substance abuse and "taste in men", so now her sister Anna(?) has custody of her. She's also dating a 20 year old, at 16.

I remember seeing commercials for this show when I was 11, and it infuriated me to no end every time. The personality of everyone and how loud they are, but now as an adult it is sad seeing how the kids had to grow up in this situation.
As much as I hated that show, I had a thought. Maybe this show was a blessing in disguise. If the show didn't happen, that man that was seen hanging out with Mama June could have gone unseen and some truly horrible things could have happened to the kids.
I remember having this show having a strange grip on me when I watched it when I was younger. I didn't know how to feel about it yet I kept watching it on youtube for some reason. Same with a lot of tlc content, unfortunately.
1. If Georgians were smart they'd group up, get their guns and protest the making of that show, because nobody should ever see that. 2. Any one who firmly believes a tv show can accurately represent a community is quite naive. It can represent some people, But not all. Due to society being made by individuals.
Not to Hot was a guilty pleasure for my mom and I. It was kind of like a morbid curiosity for us and we couldn't believe how much June's show and life twisted and how horribly she treated her family, especially Alana.
My parents and I were sitting down to dinner when a promo of this show appeared on the television we looked to each other realizing it just proved Darwin's Theory of Evolution.
not sure if this actually happened but, wasn’t sugar bear arrested for things involving minors? i can’t remember how long ago that was, but i feel like that was definitely something that happened
@@lucidstarx3456 Sugar Bear was mama Junes boyfriend during the runtime of the honey booboo tv series, he appears in multiple episodes . Hope this can help!:)
I forgotten that Sugar Bear got into legal trouble. I did remember the scandal that canceled the show that involved Mama June getting with that other man after Sugar Bear who turned out to be a sex offender.
Remember when The Learning Channel was actually about learning stuff and the Magic School Bus? Yeah.................. Now it's stuff like this as well as teen pregnancy shows, kiddy pageants, and unstable relationships as well as broken marriages The fact that an educational channel had subjected itself to showcasing absolute filth just says quite a lot these days, also, no child should've gone through what this one did, and this whole thing in its entirety is both a tragedy and a monument of how far networks will go to get RaTiNgS, even if it means literal exploitation Also, on a side note, the reality television genre was a mistake
Yep, used to get off the bus and watch both. History Channel even had a documentary I referenced in a school paper. Now?...I think we're suffering from 'old'
There was a girl in my 4th and 5th grade class who called literally everyone including me Honey Boo Boo as some kind of name like "honey" or "sweetie." It always confused me why she chose THAT name of all names. She could've called me cracker and I would've been like "yeah alright" lmao edit: just thought of something. Savantics has been saying TLC really needs to change their name, I have a name idea: Trash Life Channel instead of The Learning Channel.
When this show first aired, I put it in the same category as Jersey Shore; a pestilence of our time and a sign of humanity's decline I've long since softened that position; I still think of Jersey Shore as a stupid show, but a harmless one overall. And honestly I've come to understand at least some of its appeal. So I thought "maybe I was too hard on Honey Boo Boo as well" But watching this video? OH. MY. GOD. I might have been right the first time.
my sibling told me about a show they watched an episode of a long time ago. about these kids on nickelodeon (i think) that were shoved into a deserted town and forced to live on their own. one kid ended up drinking bleach because an adult put bleach in a pop bottle, they weren’t give almost any food, and a bunch of other things happened
The only reason the world didn't just straight up explode in 2012 is because the evil of honey boo boo was balanced out the holiness of port of morrow.
I heard about it first via South Park and was immediatly disgusted this was a true thing. I just can't think of what to say about the hatred/anger I felt this was real.
I honestly feel like it should be illegal to have kids in reality shows. Besides the fact that they cannot consent, it invites adult drama when they should focus on enjoying their childhood.
You gotta love the advocates for this show, it is clearly a case of child neglect and bad family customs, and instead of being portrayed as what it is, a sad case from a southern family who are vulnerable to all kinds of ailments, both physical, and mental due to their lack of knowledge, yet they sell it as some sort of funny skit. Keep in mind this is a well renowed TV channel that mocked them and submitted them to public shaming for their expected behaviours, truly disgusting.
There's media, then there's corporate media. Remember, profit, not quality is the creed corporate media follows now. They will sacrifice principles, and people if they can get away with. Children are sacrificed on the alter of the god Entertainment, like some modern day Moloch...and yes, TLC seems to have all the worst shows I've seen. This show is arguably The Worst, but my runner-up of for the title of Worst Show Ever and a distant second mind you, is 90 Days to Wed. That was the show that made me give up on so called Reality television. At this point I just want to see how low you can go legally 😮💨. It seems to be seemingly terrible people preying on each other cash, infamy or a green card.
I find myself rewinding a lot of this video because I get too focused on the Lego Star Wars game that was literally my entire gaming childhood both on Xbox and Wii.
Yeah. I went to school with one of those sisters during the show. Them girls were crazy and their mom didn’t even bring them to school a lot of the time so she ended up being held back.
Also a point to the showing of houses. The Kardashians didn't show their actual houses when they had those big pan shots to "Name's house". I remember when "The Jenner House" was sold, so by that I mean the house they used to represent The Jenner's house was sold. Because safety issues is a thing. Sure you can probably find all their previous and current houses online, but at least they tried to make it a bit more difficult for randos to come to their houses
Idk why, but this reminds me of an episode of Masked Singer, which at first went decent but then somehow these 2 people from Toddlers & Tiaras as "The Beach Balls" (to those who dunno the show, celebrities enter the competition in costumes to hide themselves and take off the mask if they get voted out) slipped in. They had the worst voice imaginable, and were kicked out the first few minutes after their introduction as a new contender. I still remember checking the comments of a TH-cam video version of the clip, and shockingly the reviews were kinda the same as this one. Hated and loved. If you wanna learn more, then I best recommend searching around the season that added wild card singers or the video I mentioned.
This was a great retrospective about the show, I even learned some things like June's new show. There isn't enough sarcasm to express my distaste with the whole concept. I used to be a fan of the Honey Boo Boo show until learning about June linking up with her daughter's abuser. It was such a guilty pleasure watching this country white family from my state cutting up and sliding on a buttered up kitchen floor. Of course there was plenty negative about it from the exploitation to the stereotypes, but it was also so addictively hilarious every episode and I think that's such a dangerous combination for television
My mom sadly and annoyingly watches Mama June From Not to Hot and I try to tune it out. But the humorous thing I heard (and I hear from all these other reality tv shows) are them complaining about not wanting everyone to know their business...when they're making their business public by being on a reality tv show.
Wtf? So much said about why this show was bad and not 1 mention of that kids diet. All the crap that woman shoved down her kids mouth was probably the worst thing about it
I think there was a show in german television that had like a dog trainer help parents raise their children? With conditioning techniques usually used on dogs? Pretty sure it was cancelled after one episode but still thats so messed up
I avoid Cesar Milan for a reason as well. He’s got the ratings, and the ratings are (mostly) made at the cost of shrinking a dog’s physical/mental health span.
Toddlers in Tiaras disgusted me when it came out, and now that I'm older and a mother of three girls, it disgusts me even more. I don't know how those things are legal.
Gee thanks for reminding me that this existed, I was perfectly content with all the other shit that my PTSD gives me but now I'll add this back to the archives....
I'm not American and watched only one episode when I was a teen, I genuinely thought that it was a scripted show like the office and all of them were actors.. I then was surprised that it's a reality show and they're not actors playing a character lol
I like to think that Mayans we’re not predicting the end of the world, but the end of civilization. I mean if you think about everything went down hill after 2012
For those wondering about why the Mayan calendar ends 12/21/2012, it operates exactly how our calendar does. Ending December 31 and restarting on January 1st. It just restarts a new cycle.
Now far be it from me to to say much I'm not a saint and I've watched some trashy tv in my time mainly Steve wilco and Jerry Springer cause day time tv otherwise was soap operas or whatever. I will say this shit like toddlers & tiaras and honey boo boo though. Just was awful and just bad all around bad. I mean I felt soooo sorry for those kids no child should be put though that or put on shows like that. I mean adults ruining their lives is one thing they are grown they know the consequences they know right from wrong but you just don't do that to a child....
This is why I also understandably avoid watching too much Maury Povich and Jeremy Kyle. I also watched a Netflix doc to see how screwed up the late Morton Downey Jr really was.
If I did something bad when I was little, my mom would tell me that she would send me to honey boo boo's house. I was a well behaved kid after that. Edit: Forgot to mention that I didn't live far from their house, so this threat could've been taken into effect.
Honestly I think it's actually pretty messed up that there's people out there who work really hard in their life to get into television or movies whatever the case may be whether it's in acting or directing or producing or editing among many other things and while we don't know about the ones who could not get into that industry who have worked really hard to get there they worked really hard and could not get into the industry yet because a family has Southern accents and on top of that acts rather peculiar they're given a reality show. It's pretty hard to have sympathy for how their lives have turned out when they have earned so much money from being on the show in the first place and not really having to put any real effort to get there. At the same time I do appreciate that you're pointing out how stressful it could be after the show is over at the very least even though I really wish I had those kind of stresses in my life as opposed to what stresses I do actually have, you really don't want to know what a particular family member has done to scar me for life, but anyways what I do at least appreciate about this is that at least for Alana we do get to see that she isn't just some goofy kid who has been taught incorrectly by what looks to me like ineffective parents hence why she behaves in such an oddball way which doesn't deserve her a TV show, but nevertheless as the result of that yes it must suck that she has difficulty making friends so at least for Alana I do have at least a little pity but honestly shame on the rest of them especially June.
The ones that featured people who weigh between 600 to 1,000 pounds. Saw one episode of, what I think it's called, My 600 or 800 Pound Life, and saw some clips on TH-cam. Like, why is that encouraged? What weird alignment from the stars made people think those types of shows are a good idea?
Something that watching this made me think about is how close in age me and Honey Boo Boo are. When I was younger and if I'd watched this show I'd probably be super jealous of her, because she had a whole TV show and a whole bunch of attention, etc. But now, I just feel really bad for her. I hope that she's doing okay.
I don’t believe that it’s right to poke in or witness someone’s personal life. Everyone has the right to privacy after all. The issue is that reality shows like this invade and disrespect people’s privacy and personal lives only for the delicious views and sweet moolah. This is nothing but a shameful act done by the producers and media executives 🤦♂️

2. Any one who firmly believes a tv show can accurately represent a community is quite naive. It can represent some people, But not all.
Due to society being made by individuals.

Idk too many of you are bigoted religious nuts.
Not to Hot was a guilty pleasure for my mom and I. It was kind of like a morbid curiosity for us and we couldn't believe how much June's show and life twisted and how horribly she treated her family, especially Alana.
My parents and I were sitting down to dinner when a promo of this show appeared on the television we looked to each other realizing it just proved Darwin's Theory of Evolution.
not sure if this actually happened but, wasn’t sugar bear arrested for things involving minors? i can’t remember how long ago that was, but i feel like that was definitely something that happened
Who’s sugar bear?
@@lucidstarx3456 Sugar Bear was mama Junes boyfriend during the runtime of the honey booboo tv series, he appears in multiple episodes . Hope this can help!:)
@@huh2183 Isn;t he Alana's father?
@@colleen4ever I'm pretty sure Sugar Bear is Alanas father.
I forgotten that Sugar Bear got into legal trouble. I did remember the scandal that canceled the show that involved Mama June getting with that other man after Sugar Bear who turned out to be a sex offender.
As somebody from the south this shows existence is both disgusting and humiliating for us southerners btw we act nothing like this
These people thought reality TV is unscripted??? How naïve are these people?
Remember when The Learning Channel was actually about learning stuff and the Magic School Bus? Yeah..................
Now it's stuff like this as well as teen pregnancy shows, kiddy pageants, and unstable relationships as well as broken marriages
The fact that an educational channel had subjected itself to showcasing absolute filth just says quite a lot these days, also, no child should've gone through what this one did, and this whole thing in its entirety is both a tragedy and a monument of how far networks will go to get RaTiNgS, even if it means literal exploitation
Also, on a side note, the reality television genre was a mistake
I rember when the history channel had hisrory on it
Yep, used to get off the bus and watch both. History Channel even had a documentary I referenced in a school paper.
Now?...I think we're suffering from 'old'
as someone born the same exact day as honey boo boo,i feel ashamed of myself❤
The tragedy is the fact that so many people actually watch this train wreck.. you can't blame the executives for giving you what you want...
There was a girl in my 4th and 5th grade class who called literally everyone including me Honey Boo Boo as some kind of name like "honey" or "sweetie." It always confused me why she chose THAT name of all names. She could've called me cracker and I would've been like "yeah alright" lmao
edit: just thought of something. Savantics has been saying TLC really needs to change their name, I have a name idea: Trash Life Channel instead of The Learning Channel.
How the hell does TLC deserve the title of The Learning Channel?
When this show first aired, I put it in the same category as Jersey Shore; a pestilence of our time and a sign of humanity's decline
I've long since softened that position; I still think of Jersey Shore as a stupid show, but a harmless one overall. And honestly I've come to understand at least some of its appeal.
So I thought "maybe I was too hard on Honey Boo Boo as well"
But watching this video? OH. MY. GOD. I might have been right the first time.
As a Jersian I was so embarressed about Jersey Shore. I was so afraid people would think this is how Jersey really is. Spoiler...it is NOT!!!
This used to be my comfort show when I was 12, their family was so close knit and I think I took comfort in that lmaoo
my sibling told me about a show they watched an episode of a long time ago. about these kids on nickelodeon (i think) that were shoved into a deserted town and forced to live on their own. one kid ended up drinking bleach because an adult put bleach in a pop bottle, they weren’t give almost any food, and a bunch of other things happened
The only reason the world didn't just straight up explode in 2012 is because the evil of honey boo boo was balanced out the holiness of port of morrow.
Her mom recently moved into my town and she came into the restaurant I work at one night during one of my shifts. It felt surreal.
I heard about it first via South Park and was immediatly disgusted this was a true thing.
I just can't think of what to say about the hatred/anger I felt this was real.
Honey Boo Boo was doomed from the start
I honestly feel like it should be illegal to have kids in reality shows. Besides the fact that they cannot consent, it invites adult drama when they should focus on enjoying their childhood.
You gotta love the advocates for this show, it is clearly a case of child neglect and bad family customs, and instead of being portrayed as what it is, a sad case from a southern family who are vulnerable to all kinds of ailments, both physical, and mental due to their lack of knowledge, yet they sell it as some sort of funny skit. Keep in mind this is a well renowed TV channel that mocked them and submitted them to public shaming for their expected behaviours, truly disgusting.
Have you ever heard the tragedy of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo?
I thought not. It's not a story TLC would tell you.
There's media, then there's corporate media. Remember, profit, not quality is the creed corporate media follows now. They will sacrifice principles, and people if they can get away with. Children are sacrificed on the alter of the god Entertainment, like some modern day Moloch...and yes, TLC seems to have all the worst shows I've seen. This show is arguably The Worst, but my runner-up of for the title of Worst Show Ever and a distant second mind you, is 90 Days to Wed. That was the show that made me give up on so called Reality television. At this point I just want to see how low you can go legally 😮💨. It seems to be seemingly terrible people preying on each other cash, infamy or a green card.
Corporate Media has always been like this, but we’re just more aware of it nowadays.
I find myself rewinding a lot of this video because I get too focused on the Lego Star Wars game that was literally my entire gaming childhood both on Xbox and Wii.
Yeah. I went to school with one of those sisters during the show. Them girls were crazy and their mom didn’t even bring them to school a lot of the time so she ended up being held back.
every time she says "honey boo boo" ... I feel slightly more depressed
i love how it plays over clips of lego star wars. it's oddly calming
The scary part is her thumbnails look like clickbait but they aren’t
Also a point to the showing of houses. The Kardashians didn't show their actual houses when they had those big pan shots to "Name's house". I remember when "The Jenner House" was sold, so by that I mean the house they used to represent The Jenner's house was sold. Because safety issues is a thing. Sure you can probably find all their previous and current houses online, but at least they tried to make it a bit more difficult for randos to come to their houses
I miss when The Learning Channel (TLC) showed the horrors of being Obese.
So glad you’re back
Happy to see you back!
The only thing I remember about this was the South Park episode.
Idk why, but this reminds me of an episode of Masked Singer, which at first went decent but then somehow these 2 people from Toddlers & Tiaras as "The Beach Balls" (to those who dunno the show, celebrities enter the competition in costumes to hide themselves and take off the mask if they get voted out) slipped in. They had the worst voice imaginable, and were kicked out the first few minutes after their introduction as a new contender. I still remember checking the comments of a TH-cam video version of the clip, and shockingly the reviews were kinda the same as this one. Hated and loved. If you wanna learn more, then I best recommend searching around the season that added wild card singers or the video I mentioned.
@Gi Gi DON;T YOU START!! HE HAD A GOOD VOICE AND DID YOU FORGET HOW HE WAS THE HERO OF NEW YORK DURING 9/11?! KEN JONG OBVIOUSLY DID!!
The thing I gained out of all of this is that Savannah got her cheese balls.
This was a great retrospective about the show, I even learned some things like June's new show. There isn't enough sarcasm to express my distaste with the whole concept. I used to be a fan of the Honey Boo Boo show until learning about June linking up with her daughter's abuser. It was such a guilty pleasure watching this country white family from my state cutting up and sliding on a buttered up kitchen floor. Of course there was plenty negative about it from the exploitation to the stereotypes, but it was also so addictively hilarious every episode and I think that's such a dangerous combination for television
My mom sadly and annoyingly watches Mama June From Not to Hot and I try to tune it out. But the humorous thing I heard (and I hear from all these other reality tv shows) are them complaining about not wanting everyone to know their business...when they're making their business public by being on a reality tv show.
weew finally a new savantics video!
Wtf? So much said about why this show was bad and not 1 mention of that kids diet. All the crap that woman shoved down her kids mouth was probably the worst thing about it
That show is a skid mark on the underpants of society
You're too kind
I think there was a show in german television that had like a dog trainer help parents raise their children? With conditioning techniques usually used on dogs? Pretty sure it was cancelled after one episode but still thats so messed up
I avoid Cesar Milan for a reason as well. He’s got the ratings, and the ratings are (mostly) made at the cost of shrinking a dog’s physical/mental health span.
Toddlers in Tiaras disgusted me when it came out, and now that I'm older and a mother of three girls, it disgusts me even more. I don't know how those things are legal.
I know it was hard to climax to at first. Imagine what her growler smells like today?
Yay ur back! After (checks watch) three months
Respect+ for doing the ig88 side quest.
Gee thanks for reminding me that this existed, I was perfectly content with all the other shit that my PTSD gives me but now I'll add this back to the archives....
How is television doing this? Are they driving around the whole country searching for crazy and stupid people or do they come to them on their own?
In the case of 90 Day Fiance, Instagram is TLC's source of stupid people.
Can someone tell me how this lifestyle doesn't see the children removed fro their parents? Isn't this tantamount to child abuse?
In the UK, giving energy drinks to anyone under 16 IS illegal
I just got a PETA ad on this. I'm not even a vegan how did I get this ad
It's a terrible trashfire. Those poor children. It's a life of praise for being the worst you could possibly be.
I remember seeing Honey Boo Boo's faces on memes on the Internet and had no knowledge of this show's existence and forgot about it soon after it died.
i like your videos sm
I'm not American and watched only one episode when I was a teen, I genuinely thought that it was a scripted show like the office and all of them were actors.. I then was surprised that it's a reality show and they're not actors playing a character lol
I feel sad for Alana that she doesn’t have friends and is alone as a result of the show.
I haven’t heard about this show :)
I think this is an accurate depiction of Floridan culture
You wish. They are too liberal.
Honey boo boo is georgian, foreigner
@@Leonard_Wolf_2056 Florida?! I thought only Orlando and Miami were, the rest are Conservative.
I like to think that Mayans we’re not predicting the end of the world, but the end of civilization. I mean if you think about everything went down hill after 2012
South Park put it best:
"We have no shame about our weight cuz our weight makes us sassy!"
They’re basically like the resident evil 7 family
"He really loves those girls" Ooooh boy, not in the good way.
But people still complain about anime... When this stuff exists and is arguably much worse. OK... SURE... SURE...
Anime can be just as bad as this. But not everything can be 100% pure and innocent
For those wondering about why the Mayan calendar ends 12/21/2012, it operates exactly how our calendar does. Ending December 31 and restarting on January 1st. It just restarts a new cycle.
making your own child a caffeine and sugar addict speaks for itsself
The way you made voices while reading the reviews. I laughed.
0:09 someone’s gotta tell him what that means
There must be a word for financially exploiting a child. What would it be?
Now far be it from me to to say much I'm not a saint and I've watched some trashy tv in my time mainly Steve wilco and Jerry Springer cause day time tv otherwise was soap operas or whatever.
I will say this shit like toddlers & tiaras and honey boo boo though. Just was awful and just bad all around bad. I mean I felt soooo sorry for those kids no child should be put though that or put on shows like that. I mean adults ruining their lives is one thing they are grown they know the consequences they know right from wrong but you just don't do that to a child....
agreed at least jerry was honest about his show being trash and it was scripted.
@@ddjsoyenby exactly
This is why I also understandably avoid watching too much Maury Povich and Jeremy Kyle. I also watched a Netflix doc to see how screwed up the late Morton Downey Jr really was.
If I did something bad when I was little, my mom would tell me that she would send me to honey boo boo's house. I was a well behaved kid after that.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I didn't live far from their house, so this threat could've been taken into effect.
Honestly I think it's actually pretty messed up that there's people out there who work really hard in their life to get into television or movies whatever the case may be whether it's in acting or directing or producing or editing among many other things and while we don't know about the ones who could not get into that industry who have worked really hard to get there they worked really hard and could not get into the industry yet because a family has Southern accents and on top of that acts rather peculiar they're given a reality show. It's pretty hard to have sympathy for how their lives have turned out when they have earned so much money from being on the show in the first place and not really having to put any real effort to get there.
At the same time I do appreciate that you're pointing out how stressful it could be after the show is over at the very least even though I really wish I had those kind of stresses in my life as opposed to what stresses I do actually have, you really don't want to know what a particular family member has done to scar me for life, but anyways what I do at least appreciate about this is that at least for Alana we do get to see that she isn't just some goofy kid who has been taught incorrectly by what looks to me like ineffective parents hence why she behaves in such an oddball way which doesn't deserve her a TV show, but nevertheless as the result of that yes it must suck that she has difficulty making friends so at least for Alana I do have at least a little pity but honestly shame on the rest of them especially June.
Knowing this , is it really right to call TLC " The Learning Channel “
The ones that featured people who weigh between 600 to 1,000 pounds. Saw one episode of, what I think it's called, My 600 or 800 Pound Life, and saw some clips on TH-cam.
Like, why is that encouraged? What weird alignment from the stars made people think those types of shows are a good idea?
Something that watching this made me think about is how close in age me and Honey Boo Boo are. When I was younger and if I'd watched this show I'd probably be super jealous of her, because she had a whole TV show and a whole bunch of attention, etc. But now, I just feel really bad for her. I hope that she's doing okay.
shoutout to the kids who tried bullying me by calling me honey boo boo as a kiddo
Doorknob is a sacred ritual, don't be jokin about that till you've had the wrath of doorknob unleashed on you
When I ask people to picture a typical American family, this is what they describe. Just sad, for the whole country
It's weird seeing pumpkin so young and now she's pretty much taking care of the whole family
That show was disgusting and anyone who encouraged this mother by watching it should be ashamed.
I don’t believe that it’s right to poke in or witness someone’s personal life. Everyone has the right to privacy after all.
The issue is that reality shows like this invade and disrespect people’s privacy and personal lives only for the delicious views and sweet moolah.
This is nothing but a shameful act done by the producers and media executives 🤦♂️
"Go-go juice"
Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhh 😂
Idk how anyone could admit to watching this. I never saw a single episode and these clips are making me feel stupider every second.
