    What do they have in common? What makes faces punchable? It's more than just "I don't like this guy", at least when properly understood. It really is something about the face.

    I can't say I've spent a lot of time thinking about this, but the two most punchable faces I can think of are Justin Trudeau and Tucker Carlson.

    And what they have in common is perpetual smugness combined with a weak chin. I think that's the magic combo.

    Agreed on Fucker Carlson.

    As for The Dauphin, I seem to recall that he trained as an amateur boxer and was not all that bad in the ring. So be forewarned. He is liable to punch back.

    Elbows up!

      Artfully chosen photographs of course make a huge difference here. I would submit there is far too much overlap between the inference of objectionable personality characteristics and “punchable looks” to make better sense of the concept than I made in my original reply. A punchable face is a face we associate with people we don’t like.

      @Horace well for sure ‘non likeability’ is a necessary condition. But I don’t think it’s sufficient. No one really says Himler or Stalin had a punchable face

      Only non-witches get due process.

        Ben Shapiro. He's even more punchable than I am.

        I was only joking

          Terrell Lewis, the Ram linebacker who crushed Gronk's ribs on the field. I don't even know what he looks like, but I'd punch him with great glee. More than once. With a crowbar.

          And shut up that doing so would be to punish with the exact same punishment.

          But no, I'm kidding, sort of. I get what you mean, Jon. A punchable feature to me is the sneering curl of the upper lip. The supercilious smirk. Do you know Shailene Woodley, Aaron Rodgers' girlfriend? I don't feel the need to punch her, but that perpetual sneer of hers illustrates what I mean.

          Jared Kushner comes close. You may not always see it, but it's implied.

            I don't think I'd risk punching him. He looks like the kind of guy who'd happily poison your cat.

              To a guy capable of punching someone in the face, one face is just as punchable as another. So it never occurs to him to ask the question.

                That's right, any male face over the age of 18 is punchable.

                Go ahead, let him have it.

                They are all no darned good.

                  Good luck with that theory....

                    I'm not sure if TuCa's face is "punchable." After all, he didn't pick his face.

                    But...

                    As long as we're talking about "punchable" stuff that's beyond someone's control and TuCa...

                    His cackle-laugh is as annoying as VPOTUS's.

                    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
