7 More Actors Who Literally Do The Same Thing In Every Movie

3. Melissa McCarthy’s Zingers

If you hire Melissa McCarthy, you know what you're getting: an outrageous barrel of laughs in most cases with a nice side of pathos and lots and lots of aggressive energy.

You also get one of the finest deliverers of a barbed put-down in the history of cinema. McCarthy is just about the greatest insulter there's ever been: something about the way she delivers lines means zingers fly off her tongue like poison darts.

And it's fairly obvious that writers love giving her those lines to fire at her co-stars. It basically wouldn't be a Melissa McCarthy movie without her suggesting someone has "tiny mouse balls" or threatening to shove a box of chocolate clusters up someone's bottom.
