Inconsistently Heinous villains who have some moments where they are portrayed as very humorous. They are either played for laughs very frequently to the point where they are hard to be taken seriously, or just have a few occasional moments of comedy.

In some cases, villains being played for laughs too much may be their ONLY prevention from being Pure Evil, in addition to Near Pure Evil, given that they have no other preventions from being PE and/or have no redeeming qualities (e.g. Audrey II, Antwan Hovachelik, Aloyse Von Roddenstein, Balloon Boy, Balthazar Bratt, Bertram, Caesar Clown, Gallaxhar and Jacques von Hämsterviel). Conversely, they may not fully be devoid of redeeming qualities (e.g. Hades, Gruntilda, Curator Ponds, Lawyer Kong, Preston Northwest, Shaw, Jeff, Professor Poopypants, and King Koopa) or other neutral mitigating factors not related with goodness (e.g. Ztar, Dark Stanley, and Sweet Pete). but come extremely close.

By default, comedic characters should always fall under Laughably Evil.

Eric Cartman, Chris McLean, Plankton, Captain Hook, Stan Smith, and Peter Griffin are prime examples of Comedic Inconsistently Heinous villains.

Note: This category does not apply to characters who are comedic but come from non-comedic works. These characters should be under Comic Relief. (Wapol, Spinel, Idate, Varrick, The Collector, Hunson Abadeer and Zeno)

In addition, characters who are seen as funny to the audience but never are seen as such in universe do not count. They should instead go under Laughably Evil. (e.g Tomura Shigaraki, Scarlet Witch (MCU), Bryce Walker and Walter White)
