I love how original she is. I think there is no other comedian like her.

[@rjcomeaux5461]

Right? Original 'and' good! I can't stand to see some videos where people say "oh, woman comedian not funny as usual" It's so dismissive and obviously, they don't quite get her. I didn't at first either. But she's got a special on Netflix that's new I think, I plan on watching it asap.

[@OpalSilkMoth]

Royal Galayr but there a bunch of funny female comedians.

Poisonous Kitty

[@tmac9938]

Richard Walker

[@sureyeahwhynotamiright8226]

I can only truly compare her to Robin Williams, to be honest. Her comedy is right up there with the greatest, in my opinion.

[@tmac9938]

Maria's IQ has to be thru the fucking roof. Takes a lot of intelligence to do routines like this, holy cow.

[@gailmargolis8811]

Agree completely, she's very clever. I don't know any dumb people who think she's funny.

[@BennSimonn]

I don't know any dumb people who have even heard of her.

[@TheWaterman2011]

She is amazing, unique and so damn creative...

[@thrshr2112]

I have to come back to this set every now and then. The ending line, “what you do is so important “ floors me every time!

[@Braselton21]

She should have her own GTA Radio Show :D

[@BNL07604]

She scares me and makes me laugh at the same time.

[@JinxPoly_history]

I think that's exactly what she wants.

[@uhmyeah3165]

I love her so much. She recently did a set on what was it? it was close to October 27th 2016 late night. She wasn't herself at all. I hope she gets stable. She is such a creative mind which is a double edged sword. love her.

[@senoj.rednaxela]

I really love Maria's stand-up! She's like if Rita Rudner was raised by a street gang of cartoon possums!

[@usualsuspects42]

@senoj.rednaxela Yes! exactly!

[@PeteSanctions]

"She'd love to do Stand Up but she can't UH-UH!" LOL

[@5ryanlriggs]

One of the best and most original comedians of our generation.

[@CinesterCharlie]

It's a shame that Maria isn't more popular than Amy Schumer.

[@lauratheexplorer6390]

The majority of people out there have no taste and mediocre intelligence sense of humour and originality. Comparing Maria to Amy is like comparing Obama to Trump.

[@thegardenoffragileegos1845]

Schumer is only artificially popular. Pushed by the establishment and hated by the audience.

[@HideousConformity]

To my understanding Bamford is hugely popular among other comedians - what's sometimes called a "comedian's comedian" iirc. The reason she isn't more popular among people in general is that much of her stuff simply goes over their heads. That's how brilliant she is.

[@lauratheexplorer6390]

You're absolutely right. Being a comedian's comedian is a huge compliment. That means she is a master of her craft :)

[@lauratheexplorer6390]

You must be a Trump or Amy Schumer fan.

[@briananderson8428]

Oh Lord. Maria's imitations of her parents are sublime. So well done! Many thanks for this humor.

[@sodaPapa7176]

2:19 My thoughts: "man I thought I was the only one who thought that. I love those tunna sandwichs" 2:25 My thoughts: "OH SHIT SHE'S IN MY HEAD"

[@SALFARFAN]

Her whispery voice reminds me of Jim Gaffigan

[@shnola504]

Love her stuff.

[@jackche8271]

This should have at least 10 million views.

[@ktnarnia]

I was on Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta. 😂 I was a bridesmaid.

[@SpencerLowery-m7k]

The best in the world, crossing genres and connecting like no other, in this day and age. Cheers!

[@intothewoods_dave]

I’ve seen Maria twice and I love her.

[@thdgcfx]

Love love love

[@kinsmed]

MARIA!!!

[@jediknightjairinaiki560]

Maria is my favorite female comedian.

[@dudemister8629]

Shes freaking brilliant!!!!!

[@catpeople11]

I had an uber driver explain to me at length how tasty and fresh the sandwiches are at 7/11 because they replace them every morning and he would know cause his wife used to work at one

[@AggieandRita]

I love it when she makes fun of her family!

[@RobHollanderMusic]

Bamford! Love her.

[@roberthenrypoet]

Brilliant!

[@Scorpio7500]

I completely lost it at TELETYPING THROUGH HER EYELIDS

[@im19ice3]

that fresh from the oven voice is too real

[@chrismoreno2394]

Gotta love Maria.

[@TheCbot88]

What a gift!

[@RIXRADvidz]

I'ma Bamford Man from a long way back. I won't say because one should never give away a ladie's age.

[@Hermit_mouse]

Freekin love this woman

[@mabeaute8963]

Awesome!!!💕💕💕

[@ChernobylKid]

she is fire!!!

[@mrstoner2udude799]

God damn she s funny. ❤

[@torijansen3406]

It annoys me that people seem to be incapable of saying “favorite comedian,” they always have to preface it by saying “favorite female comedian.” It’s like saying someone is good at something “for a girl.” It’s degrading.

[@kolplako4525]

Tori Lynn Eh, not rly. They have male comedians they like better, so instead of sitting down, drawing out a list, and saying “Maria is my 17th favorite comedian”, they make it easy and just say “favorite female comedian”. Besides, imo, “favorite female comedian” sounds loads more complimentary than “17th favorite comedian”.

[@torijansen3406]

Kolp Lako it is every bit as easy and respectful to say “one of my favorite comedians,” do you agree?

[@kolplako4525]

Tori Lynn I suppose, but “the most favorite” may just sound more impressive and complimentary to some, whether it’s overall or from a certain demographic. Suppose it just depends on personal preference

[@torijansen3406]

Kolp Lako Kolp Lako I feel like you’re reaching haha no one would say “my favorite white comedian,” even if your other favorites are black. It’s unnecessary. No one would take the time to comment that someone is “a mediocre comedian.” It’s not worth it. If she was 17th in line for favorite, there’d be no reason to comment. I’m not up in arms, I just think it’s belittling to categorize based off of gender. I’d feel the same if they had said “favorite male comedian.”

[@kolplako4525]

Tori Lynn eh, agree to disagree. I find categorizations useful. Don’t think how you perceive things necessarily applies to everyone, but hey, have a good day ole chap, thanks for the civil discourse

[@Barbarian857]

She's a genius.

[@bg11211]

I think she's like a female tosh mixed with other comedians and still so original she should be so much more popular well I hope one day she gets her credit where it's due

She is a bona fide genius.

[@autismpower5248]

I like

[@prlids]

Ive never seen anything that was more weird😂

[@andromedalasso]

F-ing funny!

[@simonrandall5471]

Should have said: "They pass the slavings on to you".

[@black_hol]

Simon Randall omfg rofl

[@simonrandall5471]

Thanks!

[@ALu-nq8rf]

Zing! Nice one!

[@Gravy_Master]

Bringus

[@entrippyZ]

It's not my exact cup of tea, but her delivery is fuckin Amazon, I assume it would be funny if I got the punchline so whatever I like

[@littleeagle1923]

you guys still don´t get it that ....to be the best, you must be crazy too...cheers lol

[@zinowor]

ive never seen such a hit or miss stand-up comedian in my life to me shes the worst ive ever seen, but to many she seems to be the best they've ever seen its actually interesting

[@williamwinder5011]

Shi is 10 pounds of crazy in a 5 pound bag of screaming cats and she is hilarious.

[@Deimus333]

I lov hearing her, but seeing her gives me anxiety.

[@timothyfloogle]

Oh... my fiance is... Irrelevant

[@mattobermiller5041]

She's pretty and kind of entertaining but definitely not funny. She is, however, WAY better than Amy S.

[@james-r]

3,700 people don’t know what comedy is

[@puneethvenkatrao332]

I came here from Frankie Boyle recommending her. I don't get what's so funny.

[@jamontoast]

is she ok

[@vshopskater]

yes and no. but thats why we love her.

[@lauratheexplorer6390]

Perfect answer.

[@macdhomhnaill7721]

jam She's bipolar and has a lot of deeply-rooted issues. (And we love her anyway)

[@JK-vp2ux]

I saw this woman's stuff years ago. She was funnier then. She's more attractive now, but she was funnier then.

[@beardedsovereigngrace5218]

How she survived this long i have no idea. Ok we get it you do different voices. Now try writing funny material.

[@BrizzB]

She is not wrong about gas station tuna fish sammiches.

[@steerpike66]

This isn't surreal: this is America, all of the United States of America, in one woman. This is hyperreal. I've been living here for six years and I recognize these people: ALL OF them, haunting the temp agencies, and the aisles of Target, or too scared to leave their homes.

[@MrJuicekrew]

WTF? How come I haven't even heard of her up until now? She's just.....this is the kind of stuff that ACTUALLY makes me LOL. Well-put-together set, witch characterizations and good punches with a killer delivery. And this was 2013? Can you say 'slept-on'

[@daolchang]

same I discovered her like a year ago, actually saw little things of her as far as 2-3 years ago but now im soo into her, heard her stuff on spotify on repeat like crazy, its almost as if imagining her delivery is even better than watching the performance because you can imagine the weird stuff going on even better

[@dugfriendly]

Coincidentally, Marc Maron talks her up on his podcast titled “WTF”

[@Geoffreydarcy-pv4mq]

@BennSimonn -says , in comment directly above yours -''I don't know any dumb people who have even heard of her." Question ; Are you the punchline ,for his joke? Long walk ,but it seems to have somehow worked out.

[@MichaelJordan-uo1qm]

Maria Bamford is awesome. I was very disappointed when Netflix didn't renew Lady Dynamite for a third season.

[@JustErics101]

Quite possibly the best opening line ever.

[@timeslush]

I love her comedy so much.

[@WoodlandT]

Maria is a genius

[@madsalt4542]

she's incredible

[@bijanpourhamzeh8696]

this is perfect stand up

[@Snailbarf]

I think she doesn't get the audience pops because everyone is too busy studying every facial tic and nuance of her. hard to do that and bust a gut at the same time.

[@galigyal399]

i love her voices so much

[@Mayabee321]

My GOD I love this woman

[@Verulians]

That was great!

[@mattlucas4046]

She's HILARIOUS. THE QUEEN OF VOICES. LOL. WHEN SHE DOES THE VOICE OF HER MOTHER & PAULA DEEN I'M DYING FROM LAUGHTER.

[@armondeushon7892]

Eddie Murphy ricky gervais Richard pryor mitch hedberg maria bamford Dimitri Martin..... she is up there! Baby you rock!

[@andrewclover1462]

This lady is funny.

[@finnmccool7543]

I love her so much!

[@mathewclark1407]

I've heard this bit of Maria's several times over the years and it's always a treat when I come across it.

[@clapadamclap]

Maria’s comedy come from a place that’s unmatched...

[@holyflutterofgod]

Oh my god this is fucking amazing

[@drmorqWarrenProject]

She is brilliant, cutting, and hilarious... and damn she is beautiful... stunning in fact...

[@hayberdasher8625]

Funniest human being to walk this goddamn planet

[@thomassalyers1391]

Incredibly original and creative,,,,

[@Eunos_FD3S]

who are the people who made Amy Schumer a millionaire?

[@AgeRestrictTheInternet]

the dudes that dropped their pants and said suck it.

[@macdhomhnaill7721]

Benjamin Kham The average idiots that prefer vulgarity over comedy but think they are somehow synonymous. Also, A lot of people (mainly people from the coastal states if you catch my drift) think that being fucking disgusting is somehow being a "strong, independent" woman. Also, what GENERATION OUTRAGE said. I imagine she's put lots of things in her mouth to get where she is.

[@finnmccool7543]

She is a goddess!

[@adrianbatson5682]

She's like a female Dana Carvey! Love it

[@steerpike66]

People say they don't like her and she's not funny but when they do, you ever notice that they never say who they DO think is funny by comparison? Because they know they'd get eaten alive if they did.

[@hiimthinking]

I keep rediscovering maria… she’s truly a genius. I’m in awe of her creative mind!

[@busyrand]

I love this Comedian's Fearlessness... Absolute joy to watch.

[@jgoobix]

She is funny as hell. I have never even heard of her before.

[@jennlemmelin443]

She has her own show now, on Netflix, called lady Dynamite. Please support her guys she is one of the greatest in comedy. She should be more famous than Amy Schumer let's support her guys.

[@cali9494]

She's great.

[@azraelblick4117]

She’s one of my very favorites.

[@xoxoshaneandmexoxo]

come on telletubby teleport us to mars✨

[@txpete1597]

I love her, she’s the realist

[@TheKanashimishow]

Im in love with Maria Bam Bam and all the others inside her.

[@Sheikhmorpheus]

This woman is so funny I'm not laughing. Just in awe watching her mastery.

[@oldmanfromoc7684]

Talk about, Corralling your craziness. Maria has done it ! God Bless you, you've Harnessed it, Now you got the saddle on Ride it.!

[@growlandroll]

Found out about her in a stand up routine from '99 uploaded yesterday to Conan's channel. I've been binge watching everything about her since last night. What an incredible human being

[@YourmommaRN]

She is an absolute genius. I’m obsessed with her content!!

[@ogaustin1372]

God I forgot how much I love her comedy, so intelligent and faceted.

[@admiralhowdy]

What the f, I'm here applauding at the end of a *video* of a performance from 5 years ago...

[@rideshareog]

Richard Pryor, Maria Bamford. Funniest people ever.
