Maria Bamford Effinfunny Stand Up - Standard Comedy Act

[redhedbedhed]

1:59 that series of facial expressions is so perfectly brilliant

[AnonymousTheMusician]

besides garafalo GREATEST FEMALE COMEDIAN EVER!!!!

[MagicMalky]

i'm not sexist. i just truly can't find a female that does philosophical comedy. i love women so much that i have spent hours digging through all the kind of crap comedy i hate, trying to find one that isn't like the rest. i know there are a lot of guys that just do penis jokes and they suck balls just as hard. i'm talking about the type of comedy that people like george carlin, bill hicks and doug stanhope do. anybody reading this if you could please lead me in the right direction

[redhedbedhed]

@MagicMalky i don't think that's being sexist. it's true that there simply are not as many female comedians out there, and therefore not as many GOOD or philosophical female comedians. there are a lot of hilarious female actors/writers (lucille ball, tina fey, etc.) though again, not as many. that's not your problem for not finding them, that's the lack of funny females in show business. hopefully the few around now will spur many more to come in the future.

[Veganresponse]

So much better than any BOY comedian I've ever heard! Wow...and so much smarter too. I'm glad she didn't muck up her act with dusty old bits about her "philosophy." Maria is the new wave of comedy. If you know of any boy comedians who do character work and are as inventive to spawn an entirely new form of comedy, please let me know! Thanks!

[TheFiveOHsink]

@Veganresponse

shove, psycho sexist militant

[PonDeWorld]

@Veganresponse It is philosophy comedy, in the sense that it's a social commentary. Almost all of her standup is, it's just done in a new, quirky format that's actually funny, and doesn't feel like it's being rammed down your throat a la Carlos Mencia or Chris Rock.

[maximusdecimus100]

where is the funny stuff?

[denisonM]

flawless woman.

[number9scheme]

If she used some of her voices with me in the dark, I would become her slave.

[bungalicious]

Warning, don't sip your coffee while watching this video. You will ruin your keyboard.

[pjmcc1uk]

@bungalicious I ruined my entire computer by throwing it out of the window after having to listen to that shit.

[MagicMalky]

another girl comedian talking about dating or her body. again again again again

[monkeybottomsTV]

@MagicMalky similar to all the dude comics talking about their dicks again again again again

[MagicMalky]

@monkeybottomsTV yeah i don't listen to those dicks either. they are just as retarded. i listen to the likes of bill hicks, and comedians along that line. still yet to find a girl that does philosophy comedy. if you could recommend one i'd really like to find one, so i can stop listening to shit like this

[Veganresponse]

" does philosophy comedy" as in shares their perspective on life etc.? That's the nature of most comedy acts. I'm so tired of hearing this. You call amazing women like Maria who do something you could never dream "redundant." All you BOYS wine about the lack of "girl" comedians who "do philosophy." Whatever that means. Bill Hicks is dead and so is Carlin. If they're the only people you recognize as worthy of praise then you need to get with the times. Maria is refreshingly different.

[PonDeWorld]

@MagicMalky That's what this was, if you were paying attention instead of missing the joke entirely. Good job.

[MagicMalky]

@PonDeWorld again and again. instead of arguing here pointlessly how about you send me a link of someone else to prove me wrong and to entertain me

[MagicMalky]

@PonDeWorld for the record i don't think she was doing a parody of people that do this, she was attacking people that allegedly "expect" female comics to be like this. i didn't miss the point i think you might have

[Alathaea]

@MagicMalky She's doing a parody of comediennes who only talk that way. Wow, way to miss the point.

[MagicMalky]

@Alathaea another girl comedian talking about dating or her body. again again again again

[xyzllii]

Ok

[panteradeth]

i prefer the version she does on unwanted thoughts syndrome, but this adds some little bits that make it almost equally funny.

[havocitz]

it's amazing seeing her work that into the bit she did on her album. it's a true stand up at work

[dramaticafantastica]

A comedian, doing an impression, of a comedian, and killing it. HATS OFF PLEASE.

[johnyzero2000]

This lady is awesome how she changes her voice at random!

[jeremyrdeming]

She is a genius.

[machismoslice]

holy crap that is genius.

[steelvenom2003]

barrel-chested polynesian men who tell caustic one-liners

[Emccarthy3916]

I HAD NOOO IDEA WHAT SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT

[EvilAngelEyes]

maria is a comic genius. love her.

[Maneater1984]

LOL

[bibs11robot]

When she dad that mouth around the mic groan thing, I about pissed myself!

[frogsoda]

She could be Ally Sheedy's daughter.

[jaysenchef]

I love this impression!! She's so hot...

[ilovegoth]

very interesting. i like her a lot. i didn't get the shoe horn part though. i feel like a kindred soul and i always want to try and do something similar-quirly white girl humor. because of my personality tho i don't want any more audience than a camera.

[tannerrileyrusch]

Ridiculously cute.

[SouthParkBear]

If she loves making people laugh, why does she tell such STUPID fucking jokes?

[fightTHEfaith]

@SouthParkBear It's not Maria that is saying that she likes to make people laugh, it's the character Maria is playing that says stupid shit like all of that...she's making fun of other women comedians.

[denisonM]

@fightTHEfaith she's making fun of the chelsea handler type of comedians. haha

[SouthParkBear]

@fightTHEfaith

Then she FAILED.

[aReasonableMan12]

Funniest woman alive, or dead inside.

[SorrowHarvester42]

What voice is her real voice?! 0.o

[HateMachine103190]

I wanna marry this chick.... Like polygamy in one package.

[awd2702hero]

"im so alone"

[QuiteRiQuite]

@denisonM Let a guy have an opinion.

[shandel0816]

Not that funny.

[denisonM]

@shandel0816 go back to your jeff foxworthy videos. you're not wanted here.

[vict0r1ous]

creepy

[Neweddy24]

God she freaks me out.

[stylingurl001]

ive been listening to her on 24/7 comedy radio for weeks and never knew who she was and i was just looking through bo burnham's favorite comedians and i click this one and i find her! yes!

[7shakeNbake]

@stylingurl001 what's the radio station?

[stylingurl001]

@7shakeNbake i use the iheart radio ap on my ipod touch and it just says 24/7 Comedy Radio

[ckyro121]

Maria seriously is the best. 

[FungusMossGnosis]

@questionmarkjones "Bare-chested Polynesian men telling caustic one-liners."

I had a dream about those men last night.

[MrReznor]

she does great impressions!!! Its like she becomes a whole different person!

[denisonM]

i want her to have her tv show now.

[MistressRebekah]

Her impression of the typical female comic is so real that it gives me unbelievable douchechills.

[2ndhandsoul]

@MistressRebekah Dumb question, being a guy and all, but can you put those in the freezer like those cold packs? Douchecicles.

[THEBOSSHILL]

lol she is the fucking greatest!

[beautybuff820]

Hahaha. In the Taeget commercials she looks much prettier. Freakin hillarious either way tho...

[AliceHatt]

She's just amazing.

[denisonM]

@AliceHatt she is. almost godlike.COMIC GENIUS. spread the word about maria.

[vintageirony]

0:50 Jaw. On. Floor.

Genius.

[missyonthanet]

comedy rocx

Channel #35912/gabcast

[Sanquan5]

Funniest comedian I've seen in a very long time!

[SnipeTigger]

OMG. She would make a wonderful actress. So versatile

[sarahlexxy33]

shes pretty funny, but why are her eyes always closed?

[Craxblorg]

@sarahlexxy33 I've performed in similar club settings, the lights shining onstage are always really really bright, that might be why. This club might be extra bad when it comes to that. 

[NoMercyJustCruelty]

Ally Sheedy eyes @1:00

[ATG913]

She's so insane. X^D I love it.

[RagenRibbonz]

never seen a comedienne make fun/impersonate a comedienne....so funny!!

[crustyskaman]

wow she turns into chelsea handler in a heartbeat! hilarious!

[RaygunShaun]

One of my favorite Bamford routines, only because it's so true.

[free2le]

not funny

[Maarow]

Reminds me of Chelsea Handler...

[bluegate74]

strange, she is funnier when pretending to be a comic...

[CountSpatulaIII]

@bluegate74

She's still being a comic. You're dumb. Stop being dumb.

[bluegate74]

@CountSpatulaIII I'm entitled to my opinion and my opinion is she's not that funny. Creative and talented, but not that funny.

[Maarow]

@bluegate74 Check out her other vids, I think she was having an off night here...

[johnpsmith84]

just saw her tonight...FUCKIN HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[suckerpunch728]

i love her like 4000 different voices lol

[scatterbrainedfloozy]

the woman is a comedy genius. the end.

[myth1c]

dude i was just thinking that, it makes her like... hot. lol.. but i was thinking that it might actually BE her real voice and the rest is part of her act haha

[TheBlueorigami]

YES! Thank you Maria! She has to be one of the only two or three stand up comediennes that are actually funny, and this is exactly why.

[TheSeltsamOne]

How the hell does she change her voice like that?

[liljon3369]

she totally transforms and alters her being. she BECOMES someone else. its incredible.

[negihan]

What the hell is the sound she makes at 1:33 for? It's hilarious but I don't understand why she does it

[bbright024]

@negihan HAHAHA your comment is funnier than her whole act....

what are you, 12?

[negihan]

@bbright024 and what if I am? is there a problem?

[Maarow]

@negihan The joke is about the emptiness, insanity, and desperation lurking just under the surface of the typical "crowd-pleasing" female comic feigning hyperactive normalcy through her hack material. I think the "sound" you mention is just a vocal representation of that stifled insanity slipping through the veneer.

[negihan]

@Maarow Thank You! I appreciated your intellegent response. Your explanation was very informative and easy to understand. I suggest you take it upon yourself to help those other people out there who can not give an intellegent reply and educate them in such proper ediquette. again thank you^_^

[Maarow]

@negihan Well, bear in mind that's just MY particular interpretation. Until you ask The Bammer herself you probably won't have a definitive answer. And I'd love to civilize the Internet but there's way too much misery, hatred, and negativity, fueled by ignorance and insecurity, for but a single man to tame.

[smldfw]

frickin genius.

[TheReasonWhyGuy]

God... SHE IS ONE OF MY FAV XD

[Complicatedd0928]

who is she mocking?

[katespruce]

ha hahhahahahahaha

[ironmaidenman77]

Female Comedians in general...

[juuush]

She's not directly 'mocking' anyone in this act, she's just pretending to be 'normal' to avoid a judgmental crowd thinking she's a weirdo... so i guess indirectly she's mocking normal people? Oh man i love her :o

[staronciceli]

@Complicatedd0928 i think she's also mocking typical girl comediennes.

[staronciceli]

@staronciceli i guess "girl comediennes" is redundant. my bad.

[Urgdor]

Total. Genius.

[MorbidHybrid]

This girl is unreal. Too bad the audience is not so good.

[Lillefixit]

@MorbidHybrid too bad she is not that good

[Reinpret]

i saw her on Montreal's Just for Laughs, one of the only female comedians i laughed and watched all the way through. Bravo!

[blahmeblahblahblah]

So underrated!!

[leetcr]

she is insanely funny!

[DoktorSick]

she's hilarious !!!

She one of the best comics around.

[BlueKyne]

Love that Bamford! She was awesome on the Tim & Eric Show, too!

[Bulletjie32]

She's totally original and very funny.

[Denomar]

How does she change her voice like that? It amazes me.

[drcuddlebunny]

Can someone leave the link where she does the teridoctyle squeel? (Bad spelling) I can't find it.

[owmycheek]

shes a fukin genius:L shed b a class actress good luck lady:)

[MrDobi7]

My dream is to go ice skating with her. She cracks me up more than anyone on earth!

[likinapita]

oh my god she is so hilarious

[Hondamxr13]

I have a crush on her now =P

[graaar]

Me too...

[Hrvpicard]

lol she is amazing... soo on the list

her voices are awesome

[markie89]

the second voice sounds like helen hunt - i don't know if that was her intention but it's pretty good.

[TheMetallkylling]

i love how she clears up hear voice to make i seem more "fake smile"-ish... like if she was on tv or something.

[Freshhhhh1982]

First time ever seeing her. She is on another level.

[lummi20]

i don't get this at all.

like not even a little bit.

in fact i don't think i've ever been more confused in my life. wait is that what she was going for?

[kreeper88]

friggin cool I heard her for the first time on my XM to damn funny.

[LSFuckingD]

Well, I would do her

taxes. Faux real.

[mcdanie5]

Cleaning up after your cat!

[yashwehNenglish]

Its creepy how well that other voice fits her you'd think that was her real voice

[ErinJuneDonnelly]

RIGHT!

[JohnBaxterly]

@yashwehNenglish I thought it was... lol

[sovietsentinel]

@yashwehNenglish hahaha spot on. I'm glad its not though. This bit is brilliant b/c it makes fun of the whole "difference between men and women" bit.

[GregorEzpo]

@yashwehNenglish I am guessing neither are her natural voices, which is what makes he stage persona so funny. She has an Andy Kaufman type thing going on

[dndrequiem]

@yashwehNenglish . Yes! I thought her Target voice was her REAL voice. That voice DOES fit her.

[snow76creek]

@yashwehNenglish What voice does she Use for A job interview?

[ashjudd]

This chick rox I want her

.

to make me laugh more.

[bikerman2112]

funniest woman alive

[INTENTIONPEACE2]

@bikerman2112 ANJELAH JOHNSON

[denisonM]

@INTENTIONPEACE2 nope maria bamford.

[SouthParkBear]

@bikerman2112

Then the rest must all be dead.

[Grouydtan]

"I'm so alone!" hahaha... :-D

[sharkboy85]

her eyes are insane as the standard comedy chick

[katanatt]

Shit, I can't decide if your comment is right to the point or offensive. One thing is for sure - not gender-neutral, nope. That's BAAAD.

Maria RULES. She feels like Kafka's character. If he was American, she'd definitely be a runaway from his book.

[sharkboy85]

offensivr? i dont understand, i was pointing out her look in that character is funny in a spooky way.

[katanatt]

Gotcha ; ) V

[AquarianAgeManifest]

This is great advice for any comedian. Thanks Maria, you rule.

[GeetarAdam]

Wow. She's really good. I can't tell which one is the real her. Probably neither.

[eatthatmeatball]

I think she's talking about Carlos Menica!

[coprographia]

He's only pretending to be Polynesian.

[oprahlovesgail]

I'm so alone!

[12many2c]

Her impression of other female comics made me roll!!! I luv her!!!

[Clario40000]

that was the most intense thing I have seen in like 20- 30 hours.

[xYesMissAlice]

Haha is she referring to gabriel iglesias at 0:27?

[DuckwalkSupreme]

Nah, Gabriel's not a one-liner kinda guy, plus he's mexican

[ajperrio]

that was crap

[ghostwhiskey]

still not sure which is her real voice jk

[1Jedthered]

"BITCHES AIN'T SHIT!" LMAO

[komeen]

I love the mini break down at 2:00, great actress

[scottnelsoncomedy]

aaaaahhhhhahahaha brilliant. she is amazing

[hinterwaltler]

She didn't make Comedy Central's Top One Hundred list, while RosEaNne BarF,

came in number freekin Nine.

'Makes me SICK!

[abyssquick]

inexcusable. she should have made the list.

[ragingflamerboy]

Well, roseanne's a genius and has about 3 decades over Maria. Maria's a god though, I love her.

sorry, but you can't compare Roseanne to a new comedian. she definitely SHOULD'VE made the list.

[hinterwaltler]

Sorry, but crude 'shock-value', isn't humor, (that's just me). Roseanne WAS quite good at the beginning of her career, but, something 'went' to her head.....She is the genius of crude, make no mistake, and, she has her place. Just not in my living room. Maria, however, can spend time, in any one of my rooms!

Just My opinion.

Rock On ragingflamerboy!

[d211dmcq]

Comedy Central's top 100 list was made way before Maria Bamford gained national popularity.

[sharkboy85]

she did this bit last night in chicago! I actully got to got to go onstage for another one of her routines! Hella funny, hella talented comic.

[Candaniki]

I love how she can change her voice and stuff like that!!! It's funny!!!!

[vaporarrow]

Finally someone has the intelligence and integrity to mock those banal unoriginal morons who belt out the same monotonous jokes about female stereotypes. This coming from a male.

[goplanet]

I CAN'T FEEL ANYTHING

[kladivous]

she's so hot! especially when she smiles.

[D0nCab]

best female standup ever.

[greenblueprints]

She's so brilliant. Quirky and brilliant.

[jackhartcup]

what show is this called?

[lskfls]

hahahahah

[Parvenu333]

LMAO at 1:33!!! reminds me of the "The New You" from Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job!

[foccha]

LMAO "I'm so alone!"

[cryondemand]

bitches ain't shit!! hahahahaha

[twilson2821]

she's great!
