Funny Face

Scientists have used computer software to come up with what they say is the perfect comedy face.

Whereas I think it looks like the face of some kind of deranged maniac who might easily bite your face off.

They said soft and feminine features, typified by Ricky Gervais, were more likely to make people laugh.

Oh, right...

The researchers also concluded that Conservative leader David Cameron, unlike Tony Blair or Gordon Brown, has features prone to make people laugh.

It just gets better.

What's with the creepy cobwebs surrounding his head, and why does he have his tongue jutting slightly fowards? Looksh like he hash a lishp.

Or is about to lick your face right off.

I think the fuzziness and blurring is because it's a composite - so some of the original faces used will have hair, some won't - hence there's a hair "ghost" around the top of the brow, as well as the apparent glimpse of tongue between the lips.

Although who's to say that combining successful careers as both TV funnyman and serial killer would be such an impossible task? I bet this guy could do it.

Do reckon that it could be simply a matter of specialisation for the funny faces? Assuming the artical wasn't 100% bullshit that is. Could it be the mega-masculine chisel-jawed manly men don't really need to be funny? They get the girls (or boys), they're on the fottball team at school, lots of attention just becuase of physical attributes. Could the Ricky Gervaises of the world, the 'fat, girl-faced' (as he calls himself) men have developed a good sense of humour as an attention-grabbing device. Yes, Mr X may have a face like superman and a massive cock, but Mr Y will make you laugh till you piss yourself. Who gets the girlslashboy? I think you get the same with geeky kids too, they're usually the people that don't have the physical luck of the handsome people, so their energies go into other areas like brains or personality or a disgustingly huge comics collection.

HereĀ“s a photo of my favourite comedian, Helge Schneider instead.
