The Maria Bamford Show Finale

If only I could have written a report on Maria Bamford rather than choosing between Susan B. Anthony, Flo-Jo or my mom (easy A) for my "Who's Your Favorite Female Role Model and Why?" writing assignment in fifth grade. Bamford is a stand-up comedian, who after many years and Comedy Central specials, still seems to be flying under the radar. She also is certifiably nuts, as most comic greats are. Her depression and OCD are working wonders for her though as her style is completely unique and her jokes are consistently well-written and executed.

For the last few months "the Bammer" has been creating one-woman multi-character skits that showcase her voice talents and absurdist humor and posting the video clips on Superdeluxe.com. Much to my dismay, her final clip was posted last week. You should really watch them from the beginning but here's one of her last and a personal favorite.
