Look at most famous comedians. They are all either good looking or have some goofy physical trait they can exploit. Their jokes aren't funny, THEY ARE. Their material would fall flat on it's face if it was delivered by some random incel. There are very few successful comedians or comedy actors with incel looks & voice.
It is also why it isn't really possible to learn how to be funny. Nobody is going to laugh at your material if they dislike you as a person because you lack charisma (aka looks).
EDIT: Here is an article about humor that proves my point: https://science.howstuffworks.com/life/inside-the-mind/human-brain/formula-for-funny.htm
"Considering how long people have pondered why humor exists -- and the resulting library of tomes on the topic -- it seems astonishing that the first-ever academic symposium on comedy took place in January 2011.
But after a couple millennia of endless theorizing, experimenting and general goofing off, we have yet to decipher any universal formula for comedy. We can outline the basic elements of stand-up routines, itemize the number of whipped cream pies in a slapstick skit, and identify the differences between irony and sarcasm, yet it's nearly impossible to predict what will elicit a genuine laugh from every single audience member."
No shit, it's because they aren't laughing at the jokes. THEY ARE LAUGHING AT THE DELIVERY AKA THE PERSON DELIVERING THE JOKES!!!!!!
