i love her vocal abilities. its crazy how different she can make herself sound

Maria Bamford is unique, beyond brilliant and singularly hilarious. She is like no other comic in her vocal characterizations, elastic facial expressions and weaving of surreal situations while representing honest emotions in intelligent women and sensitive people in general. I could go on, but that could get cloying. I heart (and mind) Maria Bamford.

This phase in Maria’s comedy that got these awkward laughs was my favorite

Genius.

That Paula Deen bit is incredible.

and its filled..... with scrumptious gravy

just when I think the punch doesn't exist she hits me with it and I start dying everytime.

This made me laugh out loud!! Baby Jesus bit and Paula Deen was so good

I think she is fucking brilliant

Maria is amazing. She can do any voice exceptionally well. Her comedic talent is brilliant. Very attractive as well.

this is really original. a unique and fascinating talent.

The Paula Dean bit was hilarious. Her voices are always amazing.

why is she so good

So excited to see her live tomorrow, she's a friggin genius. Intelligent comedy masked in cuteness and creativity. Love her.

I love Maria, but her style doesn't fit these 4 and a half minute slices very well. Seemed like she was moving quickly to get her spot done in time. When she can go at her own pace, she's fucking brilliant!

She is so underated her standup is hilarious !!! the voices and everything ,

just the best, really

Brilliant. Comedy on another level. Love her!

I love Maria. She doesn't do the usual schtick many other female comedians do.

I have a huge crush on Maria Bamford, laughed till I cried. Wasn't expecting the rabbits, though.

you are awesome Maria!

One of the best voices currently. Love her range. She should be narrating documentaries.

Another classic brilliant Bamford Bit for posterity. But she has more and we're not in posterity yet.

love the American horror story reference during paula dean segment.

She is in my opinion one of the best female comics

She's awesome.

She's so good I can't even take it!!!

I'm sure it would be a wild ride, but I want to marry Maria Bamford. She is so hilarious and quirky.

I love this so much.

Your answer speaks volumes about your knowledge of comedy.

I love her comedy!

i just saw her do this same bit in another video. it really takes the crazy out of it when you see her do it again

I die everytime i watch this! I love me some MB!

She is Lady Dynamite on Netflix...brilliant show

I don't even care about laughing out loud; she's just so clever. Her one hour couch special is one of the best things ever.

She's made of pure magic... :)

I love her!

Best female comedian of all time. Top 10 of all time for me.

She's such a trip!!

I LOVE her!!!!!!

Genius performance!... I love her laugh at 4:08...

Tremendous. She always is.

LOVE me some Maria!

she is simply an amazing comic...

I love Maria

I LOVE this woman

Maria Bamford is soooooo funny .

She is brave and funny!

incredible...

The BEST.

Her bit about Delilah is my favorite

Maria Bamford is my hero.

Love her :)

3:16 y'all it's not a Paula Dean impression per se, but it summerizes her southern cooking to a T.

Standup/acting hybrid = creative material and delivery. Just great.

Why is this marvelous and lovely lady only NOW making it to my recommendations, Google? You alerted me to her presence too late to make a difference in her life, so you are guilty of making me lonely!

Maria Maria She reminds me of a west side story Growing up in Spanish Harlem She's living the life just like a movie star Maria Maria She fell in love in East L.A. To the sounds of the guitar, yeah, yeah Played by Carlos Santana Se mira Maria on the corner Thinking of ways to make it better Maria you know you're my lover When the wind blows I can feel you Through the weather and even when we're apart It feels like we're together

Awesome

Hilarious. A real artist. Beautiful woman.

Totally awesome reminds me of early Steve Allen!

everybody luva da maria! bam! bam!

maria bamford is my favorite female comedian. like, i feel like a lot of popular women comedians do like really woman specific jokes that i cant really relate to, maria just tells...jokes!

heard her interviewed on npr by terry gross today. so glad i know of a good comedian now. she seems in the same wheelhouse as jim gaffigan. :)

she was so cute when she finished the set :3

What's great about her is, there is NOTHING like her NOBODY does what she does and she commits to it, and .... WOW Genius

If I can categorize comics like games/toys, I would put most in the fake vomit/fart pillows category, a few in the checkers category, but Maria and Dave Chapelle in the chess category. Good stuff. Thanks for posting!

Damn, that lady's funny!

@ComicPenius agreed. "appropriate!" was perfect.

The Bammers!

Female Version of Robin Williams, omg lol

I've never quite been sure whether or not I liked her but this act was hella funny! The Paula Dean suicide note and Gravy Boat jokes were hilarious. And yes! I AM high right now :)

maybe they didn't...but we did...and the joke was hilarious!

I love you Maria! You should be more appreciated.

LMAO @ Paula Deen

I found the" 'Tohoku Inn' within" one night in Yonezawa.....

This woman is an absurdist genius.

making a thanksfor upload

Where did you get this information from?

Jee-knee-us!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE TAPPAS.

Conan "My next guest is so much more funny than I am and more talented that I can taste the bile and recognize my own banality and realize I am no better than Leno after all..." *click* Bang!

Apparently you stumbled onto this video while looking for Leno.

Hey Conan. Here's a REAL comedian.

@ihearcalling but thats why its even more funny D:

"a mother knows"= the creepiest voice she's ever done. Except possibly the Target ads

she has used this routine to death. c'mon, maria.

The audience was laughing so I couldn't hear baby Satan....and auto correct just capitalized Satan....

Tell that to comedians like Frankie Boyle who cite her as one of their favorite performers. I love her style. It's not standup by the numbers, thank baby Jesus.

Funny women: Lucille Ball, Tallulah Bankhead, Joan Rivers, Lily Tomlin, Gilda Radner, Whoopi Goldberg, Laura Keitlinger, Roseanne, Brett Butler, Sandra Bernhard, Fran Lebowitz, Caroline Rhea, Ellen DeGeneres, Janeane Garofalo, Amy Poehler, Jen Kirkman, Kristen Wiig, Kathy Griffin (that's right you heard me) Jane Lynch, Sarah Silverman, Kristen Schaal, Tina Fey, Amy Sedaris, Alex Borstein. In the UK: Emma Thompson, French&Saunders, Izzy Sutty, Catherine Tate, Josie Long...just to name a few

"Hi Marian! It's BJ." Haha the delivery was so good, but no laughs... I think sometimes her punchlines go past people because they can be hard to hear (I mean, among other reasons of course, but this joke was pretty accessible, I thought).

@srslycurious search "Maria Bamford pwns Zach Galifianakis" lol

Each day I wake up to a new nightmare

Not sure what you mean... They were laughing weren't they?

the exxon within

And look, it's a Dane Cook fan! How was dropping out of community college?

I wish she was my neighbor .

A great set. The audience was kinda dead.

Came here for the know-it-all comment about comedic timing... who's gunna be the one to say it ???

Yeah you completely missed my point.

Katherine Ryan is pretty good too
