Because interest in Honey Boo Boo Child and her colorful family is increasing by the day, TLC has released a brand new video to tease the next episode of the hit reality series “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.”

It too is meant to offer an insight into the lives of the new hit family and, as usual, you will find it embedded below, at the end of this article.

It shows Honey Boo Boo (by her off stage name Alana Thompson), her mother June Shannon (aka Mama Bear) and her sister hitting a bingo game to “have some fun and win some money.”

Shannon tries to educate Alana into the “sport” of Bingo but, when she fails, she accepts that she might just have to go along with it and hope for the best.

“Bingo and couponing is my all time favorite sport, but playing Bingo I have to be more intense because my eyesight isn't that good,” Shannon says for the camera, in what is definitely the most hilarious part of the video.

“I have to squint a lot. I guess that's like my Bingo face,” she adds.

As it happens, she doesn’t just squint: she’s frowning at the camera in such a manner that it would almost be spooky if it weren’t so funny.

“Bingo is a sport. It's a way to calm me down and relax,” June explains in the same teaser video.

“They say it's an old person's sport, but I don't think so. I think it's very fun. I've been doing it since I was ten years old,” she further explains.

She adds that she’s gunning for the big prize to pay for Alana’s next beauty pageant appearance.

As fans of the new TLC show, which has been climbing in the ratings since release, must already know, Shannon is known as “the coupon queen” and for her ability to make ends meet out of thin air.
