Maria Bamford made these episodes after having a breakdown on stage, around 2007. They've disappeared and reappeared a couple times.

She's an underrated comedian. She's a "small doses" one for me, but she's talented.

Great stuff!! Did she really have a breakdown? I thought that (and the selling clock radios on the street thing) was made-up backstory. Anyway, definitely an early-days-of-YT classic as you say.
