Ugly People are Funnier

At the bar the other night the topic on conversation turned to whether pretty people can be funny. Will told us (or me, since I was one of the few who didn't know) that Rob Lathan had jaw surgery some years ago to correct his underbite. John Gemberling warned him "You're not going to be funny anymore!" He's still pretty funny, but maybe less since getting his face fixed?

John Gemberling again expressed the worry that if he lost much more weight he would also cease to be funny.

Is ugly necessary for funny? People always point to the cast of Friends (both with hatred and admiration) as being soooo funny and soooo good looking, but I never thought Friends was funny.

What do YOU think.
