Maria Bamford’s One-Hour Homemade Christmas Special! on Vimeo
Friends. You owe it to yourself to watch Maria Bamford’s whole video at leisure and in one uninterrupted sitting.1 Because, it’s a gift. She made it for us. For Christmas.
A very special, homemade Christmas gift that will, in future generations, sit alongside A Charlie Brown Christmas, Christmas Comes to Pac-Land, and your drunk aunt from Ohio who smells like formaldehyde and Starlight mints. All with equal awkward ease.
No words. Just. So good.
A very Merry Christmas to Maria, Bert, and Blossom. Thank you for the gift. Thank you very much.
Pretty much a native speaker in Pretend-Tiger. Ah-RAAHR-rahr-rahr-rrrraaahr. Rahr-rahr-rahr…Raaaaaaaaaahr.
Ready for Maximum Fun? Hey, know what? Maria Bamford will be at MaxFunCon in Lake Arrowhead, California from May 7-9 2009. Merlin will be there, too, performing with You Look Nice Today, alongside John Hodgman, Jonathan Coulton, Andrew WK, Marc Maron, and about a million other awesome people. Last year’s was amazing.
You should buy a ticket. We’ll hang.
“one uninterrupted sitting” Read as: not while surfing Tumblr for photos of sad girls wearing fingerless Etsy gloves and writing love in a Moleskine. ↩
I have watched this three times already.
Last year at MaxFunCon, I had the strange, unexpected pleasure of sharing a condolet with Ms. Bamford, a room-assignment error I’m sure will not be repeated. She was very nice and I will keep her “hey, roomie!” note forever. That’s just one example of the MAGICAL SURPRISES MaxFunCon provides! You want a few more? Terrifying drive through mountain fog, Crystal Head Vodka around the campfire, induction into a secret society, passing a bottle of wine with Bill Freakin’ Haverchuck, craft hour, fancy punch, and plenty of activities that in no way involve drinking but in every way involve being creative, being nice, and being awesome.
