    Definitely not funny

    Literally just not funny. She never made a joke the entire special. She'll just stands on the stage and says weird stuff the entire time.

    Very low quality "entertainment".

    Would not recommend.

    Too Weird

    Too weird for me. Lots of strange voices, movements and gestures. The jokes aren't that good and the audience laughing seems forced. It is also quite creepy sometimes. That might be intentional, but, it is not what I'm looking for in a comedy show. I give it 3, because, it is put together in quite an original way. I have seen worse, but, it's not good.

    not

    This is as funny as an autopsy… as graphic and as funny as I would imagine a public beheading to be.This special made me want to spend the entire day outside. She represents everything that America has to flush down the toilet in the morning. This is not humor, its more like sacrificing your brain.

    Hit and Miss....Mainly Hits.

    Old Baby is an interesting way to watch a stand-up routine. There are moments when her bits don't land with me....or the audience, however, it's surprisingly fun to watch her relish those awkward moments.

    I had a smile on my face throughout most of this special and there were multiple times where I was laughing, pretty uncontrollably.

    It's not for everyone however, it is for me.

    If you're an on-and-off fan, don't watch this.

    I was an on-and-off fan of Maria Bamford; she scared me and made me laugh, that was the intrigue. And I love surreal humor...so for the most part, I liked her. This special, however, was too much. She does a lot of rambling, a lot of voices, a lot of faces/noises...and being a big kid, I like faces/noises, but in this one it just seems like a load of everything dumped on the floor all at once. Maybe it's also Netflix's hour limit, she felt like she had to get it all in, but excuses aside, I really felt like turning it off. I stuck it out though, and the ending wasn't too thrilling either.

    If you're on-the-fence about Maria, don't watch this because you'll probably end up not liking her, which would be a shame; she is pretty funny, but just not in this special.
