Line 10:
Ever notice how, when [[Humans Through Alien Eyes|aliens look at humans]], they can't help but be repulsed? Even though the only visible difference between humans and the aliens is usually [[Rubber Forehead Aliens|a bunch of forehead ridges?]] Who knew forehead ridges were the sexiest thing in the universe? Or is the lack of them enough to put humans in the [[Uncanny Valley]]?
Then again, [[What Measure Is a Non
On the other side of the coin, truly [[Starfish Aliens|inhuman aliens]] with huge pus-filled boils and spikes growing out of their skin have completely different ideals of beauty. So it's no surprise when the above alien is disgusted by humans with their ''disgusting'' mouths that constantly ''flap open'' and that greasy mat of ''hair'' growing out of their ''round heads!''

{{examples
== Comics ==
* In ''[[Miracleman (Comic Book)|Miracleman]]'', Miraclewoman gets this from the most advanced being in the universe, a brain the size of a continent. "In spite of your ugliness, you are wise."
* In ''[[Zits]]'', a fly declares Jeremy ugly just as he declares the fly ugly.
* Blind [[Green Lantern]] Rot Lop Fan, who himself looks a bit like a cave salamander, was kind enough to sympathize to fellow Green Lantern [[Green
* A story of Brazilian comic [[Monica's Gang|Bubbly (Astronauta)]] had the title character being called to investigate a fraud on an alien beauty pageant. Bubbly teams up with a [[Starfish Alien]] who thinks that Bubbly himself is hideous. They arrive at the planet, where another ugly alien dislikes Bubbly's appearance. Then comes the pageant, and [http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsoaivhx6v1qbnzf6o1_500.jpg every contestant is only pretty for the aliens] (the winner gets Bubbly into bouts of nausea, before they discover she was the fraud).
* Bast, the Egyptian Goddess of Cats doesn't exactly say Morpheus is ''ugly'', but in ''[[The Sandman]]'' issue "Season of Mists", she says she finds him much more attractive in cat form. Bast ''is'' an anthropomorphic cat.
Line 55:
* In the novel ''[[Transformers Film Series|Transformers: The Vieled Threat]]'', the Decepticons wax at length about how ugly they find humans. Even an Autobot comments to a swimming human ally that he likes her better when she wears her goggles, as they give her head a more robotic look. Of course, they are giant, mechanoid, robotic aliens, so their perspective on what is attractive is very different to say the least.
* In ''Le jour des fourmis'' (i.e. ''[[Empire of the Ants]]''), Arthur Ramirez uses a small TV screen in order to show the human world to the ant 103th. Afther seeing some models, the soldier ant said in her head that she find the human females very ugly!
* In the ''[[
* Variant: While the Auditors of ''[[Discworld]]'' have no concept of beauty or ugliness, they find the human form repugnant due to its possession of (Ewwww!) ''orifices'', with all the messiness and inefficiency such features entail.
* In ''[[Planet of the Apes]]'' the novel, the human protagonist Ulysse and female ape scientist Zira feel mutual intellectual attraction. Once they [[Almost Kiss]]... but Zira can't bring herself to it, as Ulysse is too ugly in her eyes.
