In the movie [Come On, Get Happy](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0212885/), the story of “The Partridge Family” from Bonaduce’s point of view, there’s a chat between (actors playing) Bonaduce and Dave Madden. It goes something like this:

Madden: Danny, you know why we were hired for this job?  
Bonaduce: Yeah, because we’re funny.  
Madden: No, it’s because we _look_ funny. Look at the rest of the family, and then look at us.

As an aside, from what I gather (for good or bad), Bonaduce really thought the world of Dave Madden in real life.

Yes. She’s not ugly or anything, but she is funny looking to me.

In the same way cyclist [Cadel Evans](http://www.cadelevans.com.au/photos.aspx) is funny looking. Each individual part is attractive, but the combination is askew.

How about the (now retired) wrestler, [Edge](http://www.wwephotos.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/WWE-Edge-Entrance-with-Smiles.jpg)? His eyes are just a LITTLE too far apart and his teeth are just a LITTLE too long. Always thought he’d make a good Joker.
