What makes Melissa McCarthy funny? It's not just the lines she improvises or her delivery of those written for her, it's her fearlessness. The comedian, who got her start at L.A.'s improv comedy club The Groundlings and became the comic relief of Gilmore Girls, has truly made a name for herself in the past few years with her signature brand of physical comedy.

The star of the latest buddy cop comedy from director Paul Feig, The Heat, is not afraid to dirty herself up, look like a hobo or a crazy cat lady, and toss herself around if the role calls for it. And it's all for the sake of your genuine enjoyment. If you don't believe us, you will soon. Here are GIFs to convince you that Melissa McCarthy is the funniest woman in comedy right now
