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.
