We Just Think It, But Maria Bamford Says It

Via CC Insider, genius comic Maria Bamford calls out 99% of "women's comedy" with a few well-placed words. "I'm empty inside I'm a husk I can't feel my hands!" She's like the Carlos Mencia of funny comedians:

How awesome would it be if they hired Maria to run the Sex And The City tour?

"The Carlos Mencia of funny comedians" is the most complicated back-handed compliment (bompliment) I've heard in a long time.

"She's the good kind of AIDS."

I wish Maria Bamford was my friend. She's like the John Legend to my Wendy Williams. But without the craziness. Because I'm not crazy. Oooooooh no.

I was briefly in LA recently and saw Maria Bamford standing outside UCB theatre. I wanted to ask if I could sniff her hair but got shy. Still. Maria. I want to sniff you hair.
