‘Honey Boo Boo’ Comes Up With Unusual Stunt for Season Premiere

Jun 13, 2013  •  Post A Comment

If you’re not already a fan of the TLC reality show “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” the stunt that producers came up with for the season two premiere probably won’t make you one. In fact, it may help convince you that the show stinks.

The Los Angeles Times’ Show Tracker reports: “TLC will roll out the Season 2 premiere of the reality show July 17 with a fragrant flourish, distributing 10 million scented ‘Watch ‘n Sniff’ cards to fans across the country so they can smell along with the pint-sized beauty-pageant vet and her earthy family from rural Georgia.”

In a news release, TLC said: "With a numbered scent card that correlates to scenes in the double-stacked premiere episodes, viewers will we be able to watch the show, scratch their cards and redneckognize [sic] the aromas associated with the Boo Boo gang as they welcome the sights, sounds and smells of summer.”

The Times adds: “The gimmick reeks of gung-ho marketing. The cards will be distributed in People and Us Weekly magazines, with more passed out by Time Warner Cable and ‘street teams.’ Ten million of the cards may be pushing it, given that ‘Honey Boo Boo’s’ weekly audience is around one-fifth of that. But a network’s gotta dream, right?”

  1. From the headline and before reading the artile, I guessed that they would pull off their fake heads and reveal that they were from another planet. OOPS! My bad.

  2. Perhaps John Waters would be flattered. He did this with his movie “Polyester” in 1981.
