Poor Betty has issues. You know her. There's one in every neighborhood. One in every apartment building.
She's that very large, very odd woman who lives downstairs from you, the one with all the cats and who's always home, always peeking out her window at whatever is going on on the sidewalk outside the building, any time of the night or day ... The one who always wants to gab about the latest tragedy or mess. There's always something with Betty, so don't get her started because she's got opinions.
Sit back and watch Betty go off, this time on the tragic incident regarding her neighbor who died on the toilet, or as she calls it, the commode. I haven't heard that word since my second grade teacher used the term back in the early '70's.
We're researching more info on who ChrisCanary is and how he started producing the very funny "Betty Butterfield" videos, and who is the drag queen that is Betty. We plan to write a much more thorough review on ChrisCanary later, when we have interviewed him or get more substantial intel, because these videos are so very quirky.
Until we do a longer review on them, enjoy this initial Betty video and look for more coming soon to this site.
Betty needs her meds! Among other things, she has "female problems" so bad that she can't even watch "I Love Lucy" in the morning anymore.
But the good news is she's found her pill paradise. Yes, she goes across the border to Mexico or Canada to purchase medication. Praise the Lord, it's "Better living through chemistry." sniff sniff ...
Is that 'A Stranger in Paradise' playing in the background?
Poor Betty Butterfield, my new favorite YouTube character, is, sniff sniff, at it again. As always, she's going on about her tragic tragic circumstances. As she whimpers on about her "problems" you can't help but laugh out loud because she is so sincere about these nonsensical issues.
She whines, "I don't never have no money in my purse. Sometimes I can't scrape together enough money for cigarettes." What will she do? How will she survive?
The writing and acting in these short and simple videos is not only superb -- you'll want to return to the video again to replay it several times, if only in your head, to get every nuance -- but everything she says is so trivial that you can't help but enjoy a nice belly laugh at the overwhelming sorrow she puts into her soulful blubbering.
And be sure to wait for the closing shot as she drinks from her tall tumbler of iced tea -- or more likely it's Long Island Iced Tea. The faces she makes as her entire head convulses in slow-motion are priceless. Poor tragic Betty.
