The Use of Physical Ugliness for Comedy

While it's indeed mean to mock a person for being ugly but ugliness can be used for a comedy if the person has certain values on the inside that make them worth laughing at than pitying.


For the only area of ugliness I can find to be worth a comedy is not the so ugly you'll be scared but rather ugly persons who are self-obsessed and think they are so gorgeous while their more attractive comrades may be smitten with other bad qualities but not vanity.  Take for example you have a gorgeous villain who doesn't flaunt about her beauty while her uglier female friend may think she's the most gorgeous thing ever.  Hmmm really now that's ugliness worth laughing at and not pitying since the person is too deluded.

But I for one pretty don't like to use ugliness for comedy compared to beauty except for the incident mentioned above.
