Honey Boo Boo Meets 'Gangnam Style'....And It Is GLORIOUS
by Sean ComerYou don't see a link promising the head-on collision of two inescapable memes like twin 18-wheelers of hilarity and say to yourself, "Nah, I'll pass."
To paraphrase a timeless, undeniable truth first espoused on "Futurama," once you've seen "Honey Boo Style (Honey Boo vs. Gangnam Style)", you cannot un-see it. You won't want to un-see it. Like Naomi Watts and that creepy kid of hers, you'll make a copy and pass it along until Alana Thompson is crawling through laptops, monitors, televisions and phones to make her belly-button talk in living room after living room.
It's most likely that the family of TLC's mystifying smash-hit reality series "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" thinks "Gangnam Style" is a way to order kung pao chicken. They probably think "K-pop" is an RC Cola knock-off, not an Asian music genre. But there's classy-cheesy K-pop star Psy, decked out and dancing his ass off juxtaposed next to Alana's talking navel, rhythm-timed belching, and Honey Boo Boo's big, gregarious mama June bellowing "Work it, Smoochie!"
You won't know why you can't look away. You won't know why you don't want to look away. But you will probably hit the "Play" button more than once, if only to make sure this colission of phenomena isn't the worst (or "best") fever dream ever.
You're very welcome.
