Vicki Lawrence shows just how tone deaf “celebrities” can be.
A recent parody video about Ted Williams made by comedienne Vicki Lawrence is no laughing matter to advocates for the homeless.
The actress recently released a video in which, while dressed as the famous “Mama” character that she originated in the late 1960s on “The Carol Burnett Show,” she claims that the only way to become famous these days is to be homeless.
The video clearly targets the recent rise of homeless voice-over artist Williams. “So here’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to take this stupid a– sign and go out on the street, and I’m gonna wait for some bozo to drive by.
My guess is that Ms. Lawrence, who was Carol Burnett’s sidekick for oh so many years (hell, she owes her career to Ms. Burnett) is just a bit pissed off that no one really cares about her anymore. So this has-been actress has to take out her anger at being reduced to doing voice-overs for right-wing Christian children’s shows on someone who is getting a second chance.
Mama, you just ain’t that funny anymore.
