Funny Ladies We Want More of in 2012

From Zooey Deschanel to Melissa McCarthy, check out the women who always leave us in stitches

ZOOEY DESCHANEL

Following her standout role in 2009's (500) Days of Summer, indie darling Deschanel entered the mainstream last fall as the "adorkable" Jess Day on FOX's New Girl. As the series continues its successful freshman season in 2012, expect even more embarrassing but endearing moments from the multitalented actress, who also makes up one-half of folk-rock duo She & Him.
