The world’s ugliest but best characters of their time

By | October 10, 2022

There are many physical qualities that contribute to someone’s (or something’s) ugo factor: abnormal traits, facial asymmetry, daring hair styles. Here at Flicks, we like to express our right to be shallow and judgemental towards the fictionally hideous. Thus, we’ve compiled a list of ugly film characters that ain’t got no alibi, and boy are there a lot of ’em.

Why he’s ugly: Numerous birth defects, including lob-sided eyes, abnormally large nose and, of course, that nasty hunch on his back result in an unfortunate case of natural ugliness. The poor dude was biologically screwed over the moment he exited the womb.

Redeeming features: He can rock a church bell like an orchestral trianglist (Triangulor? Triangulater? One who plays the triangle).

Why he’s ugly: Imagine, if you will, a spider that was bitten by a radioactive pig, causing every web to contain large traces of ham. That mutant ham webbing makes up the entirety of Freddy’s skin.

Redeeming features: The hat and striped knitted jersey is right out of the trendy hipster playbook, except Krueger was rocking the look before it was cool.
