Ask my mom 1 sad sack
History
Ask My Mom was inspired and written by Maria Bamford, a stand up comedian who has made appearances in many movies and television shows such as playing Debrie Bardeaux in series four of 'Arrested Development', as well as starring in her own show 'The Maria Bamford Show.' The character for 'Ask My Mom' is Bamford’s mother, Marilyn, who was a previous character in 'The Maria Bamford Show', a 20 episode web series. The Maria Bamford Show used to take questions over email sent through Bamford’s website, a similar format to 'Ask My Mom.'
Plot
The plot surrounds Maria acting as her mom. The character of Maria's mom is described by Bamford as "...a 70-year-old retired family therapist and a Netflix connoisseur. She has years of wisdom to tackle any query, question or fact of life. But, she's also one of the busiest senior citizens on the planet. We can only get her to answer questions while she's getting something done, but it's priceless hard-hitting advice - whether she's microwaving baked potatoes, doing yard work or jumping on a mini-trampoline."
