This is going to be the best Christmas ever!

AWESOME! as per usual.

I can't believe I randomly found this after I googled "Bammalammadingdong"

Maria dear,
You'll be happy to hear I'm managing my urge to stalk you with some measure of success. I made a special Maria sock puppet and we have sex 22 times an hour. Is that obsessive? Probably not. Call me!

amazing way to spend an (approximate) hour. love!

Hi Maria - Big fan here! Your special filled me with the spirit of Christmas. I've long appreciated your improv, acting, and voice talents and have been moved (really) by your willingness to display thoughts and observations that people don't dare share. But now, through this gift of Christmas Joy, I've seen your feet and the overwhelming enthusiam of your pugs.

I am in the process of winning your Mom over. I am sure that she has mentioned me - she talks to me in the e-mail. Once I fully earn her confidence, I'll seek out your sister. I already know her name; it's Sarah, which will be easy to remember since it's my Mom's name and will give me an advantage as a nonthreatening foot in the door. I'll sneak Tabasco onto her fingernails and win your affection for my ability to improve the happiness of every person ever to ever see Duluth Minnesota. That's the plan anyway.

Soon, I will move from "out-of-town." You will then have a choice of sharing toaster pastries (blueberry, but, not those horrible frosted ones) with me in either of our homes, or telling me to get the f away from you. Tough call I know, but I am recently separated and the Nigerian barrister took all of my money. I'm saving up for shoes and chocolate . . . how can you say "No" to that! - Rick

Call the operator for Christmas. Could be the best gift of the season.

Hello Maria - It's me! Your fan from the far east! Well, not the far, far east. I'm talking Boston, not Shanghi. Anyway, did you know you have the longest toes of anyone I know? Ok, well, I don't KNOW know you, but I've been following you for a few years so I guess I kind of know you. Ok, not FOLLOWING following you - that sounds creepy. I mean I have taken an interest in your comedy and your... er, um, beauty (but don't tell my wife). Ok, before I get in trouble, Merry Christmas Maria. Thanks for sharing this wonderful gift. I just wish I had something for you in return :-( . Peace to you and yours.

awesome.

hi maria

thanks for this great christmas gift. sorry i didn't get you anything except my adoration, but you already had that

awsome improv...

Dear lord you are amazing. Thank you for reminding me that the part of myself that talks out loud while driving my parents Toyota Camry is completely healthy and wonderful.

Brilliant as always, Ms Bamford. Nice to see your finger puppet show of the world's cultures - it's so much more than just listening to it on your CD. "Everybody's Maaaddddd." Good gravy, I love that line.
Please please please come to Toronto or Ottawa or Montreal. Soon. My wife and I will be there. Make a sidetrip to Reaboro and we'll even feed you.

So incredibly talented. (the last time I said that was in reference to Menudo)

Oh Maria, we love you so...nay, we worship you.
By "we" I mean my 16 year old daughter and moi.
Thanks for the best X-mas present ever!

XO,

GO USA!!
PS: I want to be your roadie.

this is your funniest stuff ever. i love everything.

I stayed up way too late last night watching this video, then woke up and watched it again - I still laughed out loud the second time. Bravo. More!

Perfectly hilarious. Thanks for putting the "Christ" back in Christmas, Maria Bamford!

I watched half of it, fell asleep, and dreamed you had a live show near me and afterwards, the crowd parted as I stepped toward you. I said something in dream language and you did the same. Man, your stuff is getting to me. My dreams were supposed to be off limits to strangers but you have made yourself entirely welcome in them. More, maistro!

Well. This special went to some very strange places. Thank you for posting it.

This was so, so, so good.

Glorious. I feel like I stole something. This was THAT good.

Heelarious! Loved the pug stuff around minute 40. I was dying. Will try to make it to the Atlanta show in Feb.

Thanks! I have to watch all of it after work.

I actually saw that TV commercial on Thanksgiving day at my Grandparents house during the football game. I don't remember what you were trying to sell. I think it was Sears or some shit like that. I was just shocked to see you in it.

I hope you get lots more opportunities to "sell out to the man" because you are way ahead in the giving back. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, and all the sweet spirits within you!

I met your mom last night at a party with my hubby (you know, the one i met 14 years ago and i just knew he was "the one" heehee). She mentioned you do these great impressions of her and your dad and are really funny. So, we checked out your video - omg!! your impression of her is JUST like her - that is soooo hilarious!! We are new-to-town Duluth do-gooders and asked your mom, if we had kids one day and took them with us to do volunteer work in developing countries, how they would turn out? And, from the looks of it...pretty darn funny (and yes, I mean funny ha-ha)!!! Thanks for the video and the many many laughs. - Shannon, a.k.a. "Sunshine"

Maria! Get out of my head and stop telling everyone my secrets!!!!!!!

Seriously Maria, you are so talented and you have really brought me A LOT of joy during some REEEAAALLY hard times. Literally, it was like your comedy and The Office that kept me going for a while there, so THANK YOU for being AMAZING!!! Looking forward to your show in Atlanta in Feb, we will be coming up from Tampa to see you!! Merry Christmas!!!!

Oh PS! The Target commercials were awesome!

Wow, awesome! So glad you came to Vimeo!

Thanks, Maria. You rule! Happy holidays --

We love you, Maria -- thanks for this awesome gift!

Sublime. Thank you, and Merry Christmas to you and the pugs.

I've watched this twice in a row. My face hurts from laughing. Thank you and Merry Christmas!

Hey Maria I saw you in those Target commercials and I don't know how you got your ugly sister to agree to be in them with you but oh well and I got SO much laundry folded watching this and I ate some chocolate too! OK thanks!

Maria, we're watching your e-mails for your next visit to Phoenix -- we can never get enough! I hope this video-gift gets you so much work that you regret it a year from now!


"...because there are no flat chests in space..."

Loved the special, Bammer! Thanks so much and Merry Christmas to you!

So incredible. Thanks for this gift.

Love it love it love it.

And I, too, have seen your commercials. Although I don't remember what they were for, either. K-Mart or Target, I think. I remember red. But whatevs!
Sell out a bunch more, Seeing you on the telly is always a kick.
Also, come to Kansas, where myself and my younger brother would likely be your only patrons. Whoo!

Why aren't you queen of the world? So goddamn funny.

she can't... stand up.

Love.

I always hope to see you on any comedy show. I saw you on TV a few years ago, one can't forget you. You stand there in your little frame, in one place and change into thirty personalities. PT Barnum, Red Skelton, can't hold a candle to you! In one square foot you bring on the the greatest show on earth.
Thanks for my Christmas present.
Thank you your the best,
Pat Patterson

I got this gift a few months late....and it was like Christmas all over again. Saw your routine on the John Oliver show and started stalking you on-line...in a docile, well adjusted way. GREAT STUFF! Hope we get another free gift next Christmas.

God I love the way your brains wired-Please don't ever change cause there's a lot of dirty urinals out there. Can't wait to see you again Hugs James
