I'll be honest, Leslie Jones (the big loud one) kinda cracks me up. She nails the (accurate) stereotype.

I have the same problem with Leslie Jones as I did with Chris Farley and to a large extent Melissa Fatty and Will Ferrel. Being loud and obnoxious isn't funny. Will Ferrel at least shows the ability to occasionally have some comedic acting skills, and the same for McCartney. Farley, unfortunately, never seemed to get out of that stereotype to show what he might be able to do if he hadn't been playing the fat klutz all the time..

Sure it's a crutch, but I think every cast needs 1 or 2 of these kinds of people. Loud and obnoxious is a useful character.
