I was gonna mention Rainn Wilson, who, by the way, I’ve always thought looks like he could be the offspring of Garrison Keillor.

John C. Reilly reminds me of one of the Geico cavemen. Sorry, John; I still love ya.

I just Googled some images to see how she looks now, and either she has had some work done or aged extremely gracefully, but I always thought Molly Ringwald was funny looking.

I actually find Lily kind of funny looking, myself. Here forehead’s way too large, and there’s something about her eyes that’s a bit odd. She’s a pretty kind of funny looking, yes, but it’s a prettiness that comes from being a bit weird looking.
