Jamie Lee Curtis has both A Fish Called Wanda and Fierce Creatures under her belt. So I'll toss in those.

Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny is pretty classic


Friend, I was really trying to think of someone really awesome and you drop this one..She may be the GOAT. She literally stole the movie and that Oscar she won was very well deserved.

Madeline Kahn in History of the World Part One Gets Honorable Mention..

Tomei really stood out in a great movie. That is damn impressive. There were a ton of laughs in My Cousin Vinny. Just a tremendous job by Tomei in that movie.

Kahn was great with a director who knew how to get the best out of her talents. Kahn + Mel Brooks = comedic gold. Her scene from History of the World Part 1 where she's picking out her escorts to the orgy is drop dead funny.

The only woman I really find funny is Betty White.

Heather Grahams cameo in Anger Management is an absolutely hilarious bit. Prolly doesn’t count, but it’s great.

Does Diaz in “There’s Something about Mary” count?

Betty White was pretty damn funny in Lake Placid playing the crazy old lady feeding the huge gators. As she said to the local sheriff, “this is where I tell you if I had a d*ck that you could suck it”

First few times I caught this on cable I didn’t know how many f-bombs she dropped. Still thought it was great.

Agreed Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny is #1. McCarthy in Bridesmaids is probably #2. Rose Byrne also kills in Bridesmaids. Charlize Theron is great in Young Adult.

However, the only female comedic performance approaching Tomei would be Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Veep. Obviously different platform. But the only thing as iconic.

Kathleen Freeman - Enid Borden in Dragnet

This scene makes me lose it every time.

I don't even care that Freeman's nowhere else in the movie. She creates a character as instantly memorable as anyone else in the movie, in less than two minutes of screentime.
