[@sendtome157]

“i forgot why i started temping in the first place, which is to make a difference” is such a tight, concise perfect joke. Most underrated comedian maybe of all time. Bamford rules

[@MortalVildhjart]

She got all the voices, the small inflections that's some serious dedication to the characters of her stories. Amazing

[@miguelcabral1836]

When you see through things, you can emulate them, incredibly well.

[@laurieherman1215]

Women like Maria openly speaking about their Mental Health helped me open up about my own MH struggles.

[@bobbykimble2013]

❤

[@Sensualfr0g]

She helped me too, am a man but helped

[@filtrotp40]

One of the greatest comedic talents of all times.

[@nocecicerchia6279]

"Because I have a feeling that fulfilling my potential would really cut into my sitting around time." So, so, so relatable lmfaoooooooo

[@AmiPropagator]

👏👏👌🏿

[@PaigeInNYC]

This right here spoke to my whole heart lolol

[@jilliankavanaugh7971]

100% this.

[@ivanobar1]

I agree. If you don’t sit around for yourself, no one else will do it for you. It’s a fact!

[@skummyskelly7306]

"I'm a ladiest." That's gold, and I will be saying that out loud at strangers from now on.

[@anthonysantos3629]

This is actual comedic genius. Period.

[@trigonzobob]

"oh, man, if you could spot me" that response is comedy genius. I love MB.

[@scottrok13]

And now I am listening to Maria’s new book, SURE, I’LL JOIN YOUR CULT!🎉😂❤

[@kaminoshi713]

I loved her growing up, she made me a little more comfortable with my mental health.

[@jeffdawson2786]

To me, one of the top ten comics of all time. Too talented for her own good.

[@rayhutchinson640]

Maria's comedic genius is a sweet salve for my life-battered psyche!

[@bethmurphy8129]

God her impressions are INCREDIBLE

[@brebeaa]

“Fulfilling my potential would seriously cut into my sitting around time” is so true it hurts.

[@digitalvideoguys]

now 21 years old - still rocks

[@kristenduarte4661]

She’s a goddamn legend.

[@nickrykert2572]

I remember her this is from the early 2000s. She's very funny the voices are great!

[@IanICee]

LOVE Maria Bamford.

[@ifoldinhalfsoeasily]

Thank you so much for uploading this! I had the album on CD in the early 2000s and when I was feeling down, it always cheered me up. Maria Bamford is a gem.

[@stevenfranks3131]

"She got mad at me...Cause I didn't have the money for the Brainwash Weekend...." 😂

[@jr1252]

I love Maria Bamford!!

[@mmandmcb14]

The voice of Shriek from the Nickelodeon show, CatDog.

[@darkflux]

this always makes me smile :D she just doesn't take ANYTHING too seriously, lol

[@ghbvc]

She killed it 😂😂😂

[@gking407]

People try to out-crazy her and fail! I adore her

[@jeanoshima4277]

Just heard Judd Apatow tell Jerry Seinfeld Maria is one of the top 5 comedians of all time. (On Seinfeld's audio book "The Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee Book". It's as good as the series!)

[@ellen823ful]

She shows insight into people’s personalities. Adorable.

[@ekdaufin1485]

Oh man if you could spot me! 🤣. Good one!

[@WeTravelOnlyByNightAsItsSoHot]

I love her personalities, she is so talented.

[@nheuk3]

I didn’t know who she was until she had her public breakdown. After that I couldn’t help but root for her during her comeback. She’s awesome.

[@donreid6399]

If you ever had a question of what 'comedic timing' was, Maria is the perfect demonstrator! 🙂

[@Leviajohnson]

that last line is so relatable

[@jakejake7162]

She’s totally hilarious and underrated! Hope this pops, she deserves some recognition.

[@jooliagoolia9959]

Some of her best comedy! Loved loved loved it!!!!

[@SuperTracilee]

She is incredible ❤

[@thehouse2620]

one of my most favorite spexials

[@anthukohyolo8935]

She has a beautiful smile and laugh I like it ♥️♥️♥️

[@PauloNideck]

wow that's intense comedy if stand up comedy were a music genre this would be heavy metal!

[@nathansinger6170]

100%

[@madnessbydesign1415]

Always gold... :)

[@joeblow8197]

Unbelievable talent. The deep, mind boggling mind trails she frequents make all the difference in her act. She destroys the hot girls aren’t funny stereotype.

[@bookish.calirican]

this was the special where i first saw maria and became a fan!

[@mgmcd1]

She has always been brilliant.

[@thedemocrat3786]

THIS IS MY FAVORITE ONE!!!!

[@RichardX1]

Mine as well

[@TazCStorm]

With all of the various voices she can do.. I'm starting to wonder which one of them is closest to her real voice..

[@OnEwHoRiDesLinEs]

So true... how different all these voices are really makes you think, what is the true voice??

[@rlm9898]

I think the Meredith Baxter Birney voice is most like her. The usual voice sounds like a child, like she's doing that on purpose.

[@kes3959]

Check out one of her interviews. There are some good ones on mental health.

[@commie_dog_boy]

my voice actually sounds childish like hers but I can make it more business casual. Her normal voice fits her perfectly because of her laid back attitude. Like she could have a more elegant speaking voice but she isn’t going to try that hard when she can just goof around instead.

[@JessicaFriedman32]

She explains her vocal struggles on Lady Dynamite (the lower voice she calls "Diane" on her Netflix show), but her real voice is the higher-pitched one.

[@mitcheljoseph]

She is so fuxking funny!!!

[@Sunshineshawaii]

Looooove you Maria!! Love the witty sarcasm mixed with goofball.

[@ChristopherSMoreno-uy1ym]

I love you Maria.

[@Demention94]

Brilliant

[@mykmcgrane]

The exact clip I wanted.

[@ivd4154]

Whenever someone asks me to do something, I like to say, "...I don't know. That would really cut into my sitting-around time."

[@joealaniz70]

She is great super funny material. 😄

[@8woldy8]

She is so great.

[@leezenkin6814]

Love the mix of old and new

[@fetishartist137]

This is the act that sold me on her so long ago.

[@ekdaufin1485]

I like this so much better than I thought I would when I first heard her voice.

[@felixfjr]

Wow Comedy Central how many clips are you holding on to. THIS IS OLD

[@matthewsmith5737]

Goddammit I love her.

[@TaQuayzha]

I loved this whole skit. where is the whole video ? love it

[@leafyradio6934]

Such a legend

[@cathyj4499]

I loved her when I first saw her .. didn’t know until I turned 35

[@luiysia]

she is god damn incredible!

[@mytribem1283]

Best material! :D

[@seraphale]

Maria, you're the bestest!

[@rednemesis88]

She reminds me of this comic from the 80s who had a really high pitched voice and she would use that as her shtick, saying that her child-like voice kept her from suffering consequences when committing malfeasances: "I am sorry. I didn't mean to sleep with your brother. He tricked me".😅

[@bobbykimble2013]

One of my favorite comedians

[@Peter-oh3hc]

What are you afraid of? .....bears. I have thought of that line every once and a while since the 80's? 90's? So funny

[@chipbeaupre5349]

She voiced Mrs Beady in Nickelodeon’s Barnyard (both the movie and the TV series)!

[@audio_buck]

Maria! Yes.

[@kevinogracia1615]

Maria Bamford has a great idea with "Stand Up Comic Cribs." People will see how funny men and women really live. Next could be "Stand Up Comic Pimp My Ride." Taxis would be jacked up with some badass speakers where there's no room for the passenger, City transit buses would get a new gold grill with leather seats and a couple of mini chandeliers, and the occasional 10 speed bike could have a mini bar installed under the seat. Yea. Peace on earth.

[@sherrylennondewitt7557]

A new 🚘 😂😂😂😂

[@ImGoingToMakeShowsWithOprah]

I also struggle with mental health

[@rustytoyota]

There is this girl that works at my local Dispo who sounds just like her.

[@MaxOakland]

I’d watch comedian homes

[@garywhitt98]

The queen...mic drop...you won't see this in another hundred years.

[@xPRIMExNITROx]

I DONT KNOW HOW SHE REALLY SOUNDS, and I just heard her talk for 7 fucking minutes.. my brain hurts

[@testtest2609]

Best living comedians: Amer Rahman, Frankie Boyle & Maria Bamford.

[@emanueljankins1943]

❤❤❤

[@nobodysbaby5048]

Don't let 'em kid you. You're brilliant.

[@roberth8254]

The lighting make it look like she has on a neck brace lol

[@sherrylennondewitt7557]

😂🤣😂

[@zzzcocopepe]

this is old! she looks so young here. its funny because you can tell she's a little less manic here. lol

[@PrincessOPD_Utah]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@bethwidony1428]

Comedian Homes actually would be a great new Netflix Original series. *hint hint*

[@paulmarkert1090]

bamford is the goat. just saying

[@compuservermaster2063]

So, she took the name of her book from this special? (sure I'll join your cult)

[@mikeferguson4816]

👍👍👍

[@stoke777]

The sound is too low.

[@radrcer]

Best female comic. A lot more depth than others who only complain about men and jealousy

[@Nunya_Bidnez]

I love you Maria. Your smart, Funny and beautiful. TRIFECTA. Hug your husband for me girly girl. Lucky Dog

[@cadelarsballard5848]

Alaska. I win no kerne no you

[@ryanmoorehead2945]

This makes me wonder what her real voice is.

[@RidesInforests]

Its weird when Americans clap a joke. Bamford is obv amazing.

[@eyedontevenknow6000]

Hi

[@pumpkintime362]

She's so funny, why didn't she get into voice acting??

[@rustytoyota]

Comedy was different back then. It felt everybody played a roll or personality. Now bad I really enjoyed it.

[@mikemcconeghy4658]

LOL, too broke to be in the cult.

[@cooperd.9660]

haha 😐

[@gargantuan4696]

45 out of the last 50 videos are black/latino. Diversity is the best joke of them all 😂

[@josef2012]

So how's the racism working out for you?

[@brettgomsrud3719]

Yeah Norm says the truth there just not as funny as men.....that's why Male comedians get paid more because there better at it!!!!but it's ok u guys will just cancel Norm and anyone that doesn't go along with your sexist crap women aren't that funny get over it

[@josef2012]

DERRRRP

[@Loftdwntown]

I'm sorry but I didn't find this funny at all. To each it's own but wow.. 0 laughs

[@josef2012]

Extremely cool story, bro

[@Amburmist]

Her "fake" voices sound great. Her normal mousy/baby voice is annoying.
